THE TELEGRAPH: The doctor brother of shadow chancellor George Osborne was having a relationship with a cocaine-addicted escort girl when he prescribed drugs to her, a disciplinary hearing has found.
A General Medical Council (GMC) panel declared Dr Adam Osborne guilty of serious misconduct after concluding that he acted in a ''misleading'' and ''dishonest'' manner when he falsified the name of a cocaine-addicted friend on a prescription.
The 33-year-old had admitted ''inappropriate'' behaviour in relation to obtaining the contraceptive pill for his then-girlfriend and antismoking drug Zyban for a family member.
The failings constitute misconduct that impairs his fitness to practise, the panel ruled today.
The psychiatrist could now be struck off the medical register when sanctions are announced later this week. >>> | Tuesday, February 23, 2010
MAIL ONLINE: The younger brother of Shadow Chancellor George Osborne has converted to Islam to allow him to marry a beautiful Bangladeshi-born plastic surgeon he met at university.
Adam Osborne, 33, who was temporarily banned from working as a junior doctor last year following allegations that he prescribed drugs to a friend, 'quietly married' Rahala Noor, 31, in two ceremonies held during the past six weeks. One was a civil ceremony, the other a traditional Asian Muslim celebration.
Dr Osborne's religious conversion is said to have been a condition put forward by Dr Noor's devoutly Muslim family for the marriage to take place.
He spent several months learning the teachings of the Koran at a mosque in Withington, in Manchester, before being formally welcomed into the faith at a simple ceremony last month.
Dr Osborne has adopted the name Mohammed, plans to attend mosque regularly and now prays five times a day.
But the newlyweds have been forced to live apart because of work pressures. Dr Osborne is a specialist in psychiatric care at the John Howard Centre - a mental health unit in Hackney, East London. His new wife recently took up a post at the plastic surgery unit of Royal Preston Hospital in Lancashire.
The couple have been going out for 14 years after falling in love as undergraduates at St Andrews University in Scotland. They went on to study medicine together at Manchester University, but they kept their relationship hidden from Dr Noor's family, who live in Manchester, for several years. >>> Angella Johnson | Sunday, December 06, 2009
