Wiltshire.co.uk are reporting: Footloose medic is brought to heel
Quote:
DEVIZES chiropodist Julie Carter expressed huge relief that a disciplinary hearing has completely exonerated her of charges that she locked her former husband out of their shared practice in the town and deprived him of his patient records.
Gareth Carter told the hearing of the Health Professions Council, held at the Black Swan Hotel on Monday, that his former wife, in a fit of pique on finding he had gone to Sorrento in Italy with a woman friend, had changed the locks on the practice, Devizes Footcare Centre at 16 The Brittox, and refused him access to the records of his patients.
He also alleged that she had used the records to write to all his patients, saying that he was no longer operating from the Devizes premises.
Mr Carter said that the couple, who have two teenage children, had decided to end their 24-year marriage in April 2005 but their relationship had remained amicable until October of that year, when Mr Carter left for the holiday in Italy.
He told the tribunal that Mrs Carter had used his computer to book an air ticket to the USA and wanted to access it while he was in Italy to download the booking information.
He agreed, but said he then received a call from his wife. He said: "She was screaming obscenities. She said she was going to lock the business down and take all my patients away."
advertisementHe felt Mrs Carter must have discovered details of who he was going to Italy with and it had come as a shock.
On his return to Devizes, he found Mrs Carter had changed the locks and he alleged she refused to allow him access to his patients' records....
HPC hearing: "not gulity of locking out husband"!!
