How is this guy still a doctor?

The Herald reports:

A doctor with a criminal history poured alcohol over his wife, ripped open her shirt to prod her torso with a fork while calling her fat, and threatened to shoot police as the incident unfolded.

But the general practitioner, whose name and identifying details are permanently suppressed, is still allowed to practice, a medical authority has ruled.

Incredible.

The 111 call-taker overheard the doctor threatening to shoot police and to kill his wife.

When officers arrived outside the couple’s property during the 2020 assault, they could see through a window the doctor had his hands around the woman’s neck.

She was left bruised and scratched, and “emotionally and mentally broken”.

Who would want to see such a person as their doctor?

He has three previous convictions for driving with excess blood alcohol (EBA), for which he was sentenced to three months’ community detention and disqualified from driving indefinitely on the third.

To have three actual convictions would mean he has probably driven drunk several hundred times. I suspect he is an alcoholic.

How the tribunal thinks an alcoholic wife beater should be treating patients is beyond me.
