A NSW dentist who prescribed excessive doses of an addictive painkiller to 10 patients without monitoring their treatment or keeping accurate clinical records has been banned. 9News
Dr Buys was also found to have failed to maintain adequate clinical records for the 10 patients, including a written record of the supply of the drug. In some cases, he also failed to consult with doctors who were also treating his patients for other conditions.
"He has demonstrated an inadequate knowledge of the circumstances in which drugs of addiction should be prescribed and all of the cautionary measures which should attend their prescription. He sought a non-practicing registration status in April 2019 due to injuries he had sustained. The nature of the injuries was not revealed.
Dr Buys, who has not practiced for more than 36 months, said the time had given him the opportunity to "reflect upon my actions" and he said he as remorseful for his misconduct.
