A junior doctor at Broadmoor Hospital who lied about having breast cancer has been banned from treating patients. In a statement a senior colleague known only as Dr J said: 'Dr Rafi stated she had lied when she told colleagues about having previously had breast cancer. 'Dr Rafi said in her evidence she had not received a diagnosis, nor had she undergone these treatments. 'The tribunal found it difficult to accept this explanation but it did take into account her assertion that she was indeed anxious of breast cancer as there was a strong history of breast cancer in her family. 'Dr Rafi still has to take further professional examinations in psychiatry, she is not currently in work.'
