Inquiry told doctor did not read report in full

WHEN Pauline Dorney asked her family doctor if her husband would be around to see his son graduate from college, he could not answer.

In his evidence to a Medical Council inquiry yesterday, Superintendent Martin Dorney said his wife had put it to their GP that his son and their son were in the same year and she asked him if he hoped he’d be around for his son’s graduation.

“But when she asked him if I’d be there, he could not answer,” the clearly distraught Superintendent said.
