A former Auckland doctor spiraled into self-destruction after becoming addicted to oxycodone post-surgery, then hacked her hospital’s system to forge 662 fake prescriptions over two years—using both her own and another doctor’s credentials. She printed, emailed, and filled the pills at pharmacies while battling emotional pain from a troubled past, claiming the drug made her feel “normal.” Despite rehab and temporary sobriety, trauma pushed her back into self-prescribing. Arrested after her login was revoked, she faced an 18-month intensive supervision sentence with counseling, substance bans, and employment restrictions. Her bid for a clean record was denied, and she’s appealing to keep her identity hidden. The court heard she destroyed her career, reputation, and trust in medicine—and now must rebuild everything from scratch.
