A young doctor working in a busy emergency department has been charged with forging prescriptions for weight loss pills to keep her awake while working long hours.The doctor appeared in the Auckland District Court this week to face fraud charges over four faked prescriptions for the drugs over an 18 month period until January this year.Defence lawyer Jo Wickliffe argued the doctor should be discharged without conviction and her name kept secret because of the damage it would do to her promising career.The court heard the doctor forged the prescriptions to obtain sibutramine hydrochloride, also known as Reductil, because fellow doctors told her they were using the substance to help stay awake.Ms Wickliffe said the doctor was not a drug addict and the alleged offending had happened at a time of great stress before an upcoming rotation working long hours in a hospital emergency room.”She was afraid of killing someone by missing something,” Ms Wickliffe told the court. The doctor was ambitious, highly intelligent and had a promising future, she said.She asked Judge David Wilson QC to discharge the doctor without conviction because the consequences of her alleged crime were far outweighed by the gravity of offending.If a doctor is convicted of a crime punishable by a jail term of more than three months,zhen de shou pills reviews, the court must notify the Medical Council.
