The reports also state that the tribunal hears Patel allegedly prescribed painkillers described as addictive. The outcome of the proceedings is not stated in the provided excerpts, but the reports say Patel is suspended while the matter is considered. The accounts are presented as allegations discussed during the tribunal process, rather than as established facts. The reports do not provide further detail on the patient’s condition beyond the spinal disc surgery or on the specific circumstances surrounding the alleged prescribing of medication.
