There was considerable press in February about the very inappropriate and misogynistic comments from a certain Dr Lee in Victoria. AFMW wrote to both AHPRA and the hospital employing that doctor referencing the MWIA resolution about violence in medicine from the 2016 Vienna Congress. We received replies from both agencies and an AHPRA representative rang me as Secretary to discuss my letter further. Dr Lee is not returning to medicine at this point of time.
