The care of a GP who prescribed fentanyl patches to a vulnerable refugee despite red flags in his files declaring the patient had been misusing the drug, has been dubbed ‘reprehensible’

The Sydney doctor had originally trained as a pharmacist but had then opted for a medical career, gaining RACGP fellowship in 2008.
