A 72-year-old chiropractor, David Williams, has been sentenced to community work for breaching suspension rules by continuing to treat patients for 16 months. His lawyer argued that Williams' actions were motivated by a desire to help his patients, rather than personal gain. The case highlights the importance of medical professionals adhering to regulatory guidelines and the consequences of unethical behaviour in the healthcare industry, including chiropractic care and patient trust. The ruling serves as a reminder of the need for transparency and accountability in healthcare services.
