    Dr, Kulczyk found guilty of professional misconduct, but not struck off by the medical council.

    Is this common case or is it rare for doctors to over prescribe medicine to patients?

    I don't know but I bet it's alot more common than you'd think..

    look at all the people needlessly prescribed antibiotics for minor ailments, I guess that doesn't count though since it's not a sedative :rolleyes:

    Happens often enough surprisingly..
    Even if they are struck off , as far as I know they can just go to another country and work again anyway.

    So if you are struck off here they can go elsewhere to practice?? :eek:

    Shocking (if that's the case)

    I know cosmetic surgeons definitely can anyway..
    There are quite a few working in Ireland that have been struck off in other Countries.

    With a first name like Iwona, I was trying to figure out what the second name could mean so I could get the joke

    they can only work in another country if they are already registered there. to register in another country she'll need a letter of good standing from the irish medical council which may be a bit of a problem with her.
    the biggest problem isn't over prescription of antibiotics, but the failure to take the full course, most people take them till the symptoms go away but don't finish the course to knock it on the head. then of course there's the few that get antibiotics for the cold, which has no effect at all.
    but her case was over prescription of tranquilisers which any junkie could sell on down the road for a profit.

    So would any of the pharmacies that handed out the medication face any disciplinary action?

    Surely they must have known something irregular in amounts of prescriptions?

    The pronunciation of it is so close to, yet so far from "I vanna culchie". It'd be cool if she regularly frequents Copperface Jacks.

    It was issuing pharmacists that blew the whistle on her to the HSE.

    According to her, she was threatened with violence and arson against her surgery if she didn't write up the prescriptions.

    After how long I wonder? enough for them to make loadsa money on the 'extra' prescriptions me thinks..:rolleyes:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 11,909 ✭✭✭✭Wertz


    That's a little unfair...it's hard to spot a continuing pattern in behaviour (in this case incorrect over-prescribing) over a short time frame or out of only a small number of patients.

    In the grand scheme of things, any money made would have been peanuts as regards health budgets and where the real money goes...

    Depends on the likelihood of having a syringe stuck up your nose and being told to 'write de fuken script'

    They did. IIRC it was 16 different pharmacies that reported her for over/dodgy prescriptions over a period of time. They were intentionally spreading them around different pharmacies so as to not arouse suspicion but still failed.

    Apparently she got a lot of druggies in threatening her if she didn't. Once she did it for one sure you're going to have every junkie for miles waiting for you outside the GP's with a screwdriver or something.
