She says the Pentecostal Christian GP spoke to her in tongues, told her she was possessed by demons and visited her home where he tried to indoctrinate her with religious TV shows.

But the surgery's partners say he did not breach his duty as a doctor and, even if he did, they are not liable.

'Tony didn't like what Dr O'Brien was doing from the beginning, but he put up with it because he was a GP.'

'She has also developed anxiety symptoms, post traumatic stress disorder and a specific phobia of owls.'

Terribly unethical and yes, abusive.

A... specific phobia of owls.

WTF was he doing to her.

 

[Trish]

It happened in 2014 and the doctor was struck off the medical register in 2015. Phew. What a nightmare.

Old school psychobabble.

Arrogance, entitlement, and craziness gone way too far!

I wonder how locums are assigned. If the practice selected this dude, I would think they are somewhat at fault.

Does no one vet these people?
