Doctor penalised for calling mushroom murderer 'disturbed sociopath'

Australian doctor penalized for calling mushroom murderer a 'disturbed sociopath.' Dr. Chris Webster faced sanctions from the Medical Board of Australia for his disparaging comments about Erin Patterson, who was found guilty of killing three relatives with poisonous mushrooms. Despite the penalty, Dr. Webster stands by his remarks and has agreed to undergo ethics, privacy, and social media training as ordered by regulators. The incident highlights the importance of maintaining professionalism and discretion in public statements, even when discussing widely publicized cases.
