Jobless doctor lied about conviction

A doctor who put an old laptop in a box and returned it to a shop with a receipt for a new one and got €599 has been found guilty of professional misconduct by a Medical Council inquiry.

Jobless doctor lied about conviction

A sanction will be decided later for Dr Alabi Emmanuel Gbadebo, originally from Nigeria but living in Cork. He yesterday pleaded for one last chance and said at the time he was under financial pressure and had been out of work for years.

The fitness to practise committee found Dr Alabi guilty of professional misconduct for inducing a representative of the Argos store, Blackpool, Cork in Aug 2008 to repay €599 to him for the return of the computer which was not the one which had been purchased. Allegations of making a false declaration to the HSE in Aug 2010 when he was under Garda investigation and failing to notify the HSE he had been convicted of a criminal offence were also found to be proven against the doctor.
