The Health Practitioners Disciplinary Tribunal has found the doctor guilty of seven charges.. he has name suppression until sentencing.
The Tribunal found the doctor showed a significant lack of objectivity in prescribing for his own wife.
He also prescribed medicines to eight colleagues on 25 occasions.
The tribunal was concerned about the doctor's personal history of drug use ... but there was no suggestion he had prescribed them to himself.
