[Updated to connect to earlier posts on this site detailing the earlier wretched details.]
As reported in the Scotsman
See also this earlier report for more sordid details, as well as this one
A Psychiatrist has been found guilty of drunkenly writing a prescription for a flatmate at a party without consulting the man's GP.And now, hopefully the police will have their way with him. Don't people usually go to jail over things like this? I have seen reports that he has lost his license to practice, or "struck off" as the say in Britain. (which is at least a start).
Dr Clint Tatchell wrote a prescription for 28 diazepam tablets for Brian Hoolichan under the influence of alcohol.
The findings were released by the fitness to practise panel of the General Medical Council after a hearing in London.
David Steel, 30, was found dead in Dr Tatchell's home in Spiers Wharf, Glasgow, on 21 September, 2003 after taking drugs including heroin, cocaine, ecstasy and diazepam. He had died of an ecstasy overdose.
The GMC panel found Dr Tatchell guilty "dishonest" behaviour when he tidied his flat after it was discovered that Mr Steel was dead.
