A family doctor in Nottingham has been suspended from practising for five months after she admitted faking medical appointments to avoid being late for the afternoon school run. Dr Helen Eisenhauer, a 43-year-old mother of two earning £60,000 ($80,766) annually, fabricated records of face-to-face consultations with patients she had already spoken to on the phone.
The Medical Practitioners Tribunal Service (MPTS) determined that her actions demonstrated a reckless disregard for patient safety and professional standards, leading to the suspension to allow time for reflection.
