Doctor's Laser Obsession Leads to Ban

About this episode

Dr. Mark Rogers, a seasoned Adelaide physician, has had his medical registration revoked due to professional misconduct linked to his unyielding advocacy for low-level laser therapy. Despite a two-month suspension and a ban on promoting the therapy, he persisted, leading to six allegations from 2017 to 2020. These included neglecting patient care, concealing conflicts of interest, deceiving officials, engaging in questionable deals, and disregarding his own promises. The tribunal deemed his laser obsession nearly delusional, expressing disbelief in his explanations despite his successful bipolar treatment and lack of recent misconduct. As a result, he was reprimanded, barred from re-registration, and prohibited from any health-related work, including volunteering, for eighteen months, effectively sidelining the thirty-year veteran as he reflects on his regrets.

It's April 9th, from your city to your ears. This is Sydney News today, powered by AI, I'm Cory with the story. Adelaide Dr. Mark Rogers just got his medical registration canceled by a tribunal for straight up professional misconduct, tied to his fixation on, low-level laser therapy. He'd been suspended for two months back in 2019, and banned from pushing that therapy while practicing, but he kept at it anyway. The board hit him with six allegations from 2017 to 2020, like skimping on patient care, hiding conflicts of interest, lying to, officials, shady deals with the patient, and straight ignoring his own promises to stay clear. Tribunal called his laser obsession almost delusional, said he showed blatant disregard for rules and didn't buy his story despite his bipolar. Treatment going well and no recent slip-ups. In the end, they reprimanded him, barred re-registration, and shut him out of any health work even volunteering for 18 months, leaving this 30-year vet sidelined while he sorts his

regrets.
