A Sydney doctor who described himself as the best in Australia is banned from practicing amid claims he performed an unwanted vaginal examination and told a cancer patient she was only a number.
A Sydney doctor has been stripped of his registration after he was found to have conducted unjustified breast and vaginal examinations, and told a cancer patient she was"only a number".A tribunal ordered his registration as a doctor be cancelled, with no option for review until March 2022Dr Joseph Georghy was investigated by the Medical Council of NSW after two women lodged complaints against him following incidents at the North Shore Cosmetic Medical and Dental clinic in North Sydney.
One, a 53-year-old female pancreatic cancer patient, accused Dr Georghy of performing an inappropriate breast examination on her in May 2016. According to a Civil and Administrative Tribunal decision published today, during the appointment — which was for a Vitamin C and Glutathione infusion — the woman claimed he failed to give an explanation for the examination, flipped up her bra and squeezed her breasts without consent.The tribunal found the doctor also grabbed the woman's underpants and jeans and attempted to pull them down.
