Judge gives three-year suspended sentence to Nathan Murphy who ‘saw red’ when woman became upset after examination
The court heard that Murphy’s then partner attended UHL on September 22nd, 2019 and requested a procedure, but was told it was not possible on the day. The court heard Murphy waited for the registrar to return and held a chair over his head and threatened to throw it at him when he came into the room with two colleagues.
Murphy said he later returned to the hospital to apologise to the doctor, but was told he was barred. The doctor and hospital staff told gardaí they were not aware of this happening. Ms Carey said her client was in “the throes of a drug addiction at the time” but has turned his life around and has sole custody of his three children.
