Australia: Doctor cleared of making rude comments
news.com.au on February 20, 2012 reported that an obstetrician accused of calling a patient a slut and telling another "you have just given birth to a family of haemorrhoids" has been cleared of making rude comments. The New South Wales Medical Tribunal also found Czech-trained Roman Hasil's behaviour, which included drink-driving offences and downing a six-pack of beer in a hospital carpark, did not make him unfit to practise medicine. But the 56-year-old could be struck off for his inability to practise medicine after sustaining a brain injury. Hasil has worked in Queensland, Tasmania, Victoria, NSW and New Zealand and in most cases left workplaces in controversial circumstances.
