Struck off: The doctor who conned a patient

Saturday 26th March 2011, 3:00PM GMT.

Dr Uwe Eichner has been struck off by the GMC

A PENSIONER who is owed tens of thousands of pounds by her GP has spoken of her devastation and anger and claims she has been robbed of a comfortable retirement.

Shirley-Anne Le Marquand does not think she will be able to  trust anyone again after the 67-year-old widow trusted her former doctor with £68,000 of her savings – £35,000 of which he still owes her.

Dr Uwe Eichner was this week struck off by the General Medical Council.
