Doctor suspended for alleged addiction "The provincial health department confirmed yesterday that the doctor was suspended from the GJ Crookes Hospital in Scottburgh.
Department spokesman Chris Maxon refused to divulge the details, but hospital insiders claimed the doctor was allegedly caught stealing the drug for his own use.
'The doctor has been reported to the Health Professions Council of South Africa and the Special Investigating Unit,' Maxon said.
'The internal disciplinary inquiry is continuing.
'More information cannot be divulged at this stage as it will jeopardise the process,' Maxon said
Psychologist and director at Houghton House Rehab Centre Dan Wolf said that in the past few years he had counselled several doctors with serious pethidine addictions."
