Doctor’s Fake Prescriptions and Suspension | Glasgow News
Description
A doctor in Scotland, John Henderson, was caught forging prescriptions using his own name and even deceased patients’ names between July 2021 and February 2022. Facing legal consequences including repaying £883 and completing 100 hours of unpaid community service, he later appeared before the Medical Practitioners Tribunal Service. Though no patients were harmed, the tribunal deemed his actions posed a real risk to public safety and damaged the medical profession’s reputation. Acknowledging his personal struggles and pandemic-related stress, they suspended his license for 12 months — a firm but measured response to safeguard public trust.
