Woman dies day after doctor sent her home, blaming anxiety and alcohol abuse123RF A second opinion has found the doctor's management of the patient would have been met with "severe disapproval". A New Zealand doctor who blamed a woman's symptoms on alcohol abuse and anxiety was wrong - and she died the next day. The report says she had a past history of alcohol dependency, anxiety with depression and was a smoker. "In Dr C's opinion, the most likely cause of the sinus tachycardia was alcohol abuse and anxiety," the report says. The medical centre was not found in breach of the Code.
