Fatal overdose GP is struck off
(BBC 15/09/2009)
A doctor who injected two patients with six times the proper dose of a painkiller, killing one of them, has been struck off the medical register. Dr Michael Stevenson, 57, of Cumbria, was spared jail in 2007 after admitting the manslaughter of a grandmother, 58. He also administered an identical dose to a 59-year-old builder, who survived. He was struck off after a General Medical Council panel ruled his conduct in both incidents "demonstrated a disregard for patient safety".
