1. Write the URL of the Case Summary you are using for the assessment. I must be able to retrieve the case from this URL (check before submission). Step 1 is to find the case that interests you 2. Summarise the case you have selected. (500 words)  WHO was involved? The person, their profession, any other relevant information about the person and their career to date.   WHAT happened – describe the event(s) associated with the misconduct   WHAT was the outcome of the tribunal?  If a case involves criminal conduct, such as theft, there will be a criminal court case before the health professional tribunal is held. A criminal case must start with the presumption of innocence. Don’t get the two different processes mixed up in your summary. WHAT was the penalty? Penalties vary from reprimand through to suspension or cancellation of registration. 3. Analyse the case, using the language of the Profession definitions to explain why this situation occurred (500 words).   When I talk about the "language of professionalism" I am referring to the professionalism "buzz words" in the definition - ie accountability, altruism, integrity, competence etc.  For example, if we had a case of a health professional who was stealing opioid drugs and then take them while on shift, I would expect you to identify that · the stealing shows a lack of integrity,    · a lack of accountability is shown by working drug-affected,  · a lack of altruism is shown towards the patients by working drug affected. · A person who steals opiates usually has a drug addiction - that person is also showing a lack of accountability about their health status.  4. In a personal reflection (200 words) explaining how your review of the case will influence your professional and personal behaviour in the future.  You may not have thought about professional misconduct before and may be shocked by what you have read. The healthcare professions can be challenging, as we are with individuals at the worst and the best of times in their lives, and that sometimes will take a toll on the health professionals’ social and emotional well-being. Put yourself in the health professional’s shoes – could you see yourself in the same situation given the similar circumstances? What could you differently if faced with a similar situation? What would be the challenges of doing the “right thing” if you found yourself in this situation yourself?

SUMMARY
This case involves “Health Ombudsman” the applicant and “Hayden Thomas Wesley White”
the respondent. The respondent completed a bachelor of medicine and a bachelor of surgery overseas in 1990, after the completion of his studies he moved to Brisbane in 2002 and completed an intensive care fellowship at two metropolitan hospitals in Brisbane. After working in anaesthetics, in 2006 he was appointed Director of the ICU at a Brisbane metropolitan hospital. Later on, he completed a graduate certificate in health economics and a fellowship in respiratory medicine followed by the completion of his fellowships with the College of Intensive Care Medicine of Australia and New Zealand and the Royal Australasian College of Physicians, Adult Medicine Division. Currently, he is focused on his research and hence has stepped aside as the director of ICU.
The respondent has a history of anxiety disorder. In his early 20s, he was first diagnosed with it, this occurred after he moved overseas for his studies. He was separated from his family and did not have a familiar environment, because of which he experienced significant episodes of depression. As a result of this anxiety disorder, the respondent had taken antidepressants named Prozac and Lexotan, at times. When he moved to Australia, no significant issues with his mental health appeared. Later in 2011, his health deteriorated, and his underlying anxiety condition worsened.
The applicant, health ombudsman submitted a health service complaint to the tribunal against the respondent, stating that he misappropriated a Schedule 8 drug, Fentanyl, from his employer and self-administered it intravenously in the bathroom of the Hospital. It was professional misconduct on the part of the respondent. While working as the director of the intensive care unit at a metropolitan hospital, the respondent self-administered the drug named Fentanyl, intended to be discarded in the intensive care unit. He was not having any lawful prescription for the same. The respondent has agreed to the allegations. He started administering around 20 mg one or two times a week and steadily increased to 50 mg and then to 70 mg, eventually ended up taking Fentanyl  twice daily up...
