Two-year into relationship with Chancellor George Osborne's psychiatric brother, the patient accused him of using her a "sex toy". Dr. Adam Osborne was written off the medical register after MPTS (Medical Practitioners Tribunal Service) declared him unfit to practice due to reason of misconduct. The panel's chairman, Dr. Nigel Callaghan, said that for the doctor to have an affair with his patient, who he was treating for anxiety and depression, was "profoundly unacceptable".
According to Daily Mail, the patient accused the doctor of making her "dependent" on his therapy for two years before they started getting involved sexually. She said: "I am happy that he cannot do that to anyone again and I am happy that my story was believed, but I don't think I can ever be happy about Dr. Adam Osborne because that man was responsible for too much trauma.

"He treated me like a sex toy. I don't think he has a conscience and I don't think he cares about anyone but himself. I am worried and anxious that he will think it is safe to contact me because now he is struck off there will be no further consequences.

"He does still have a hold over me and that's why I am scared about him trying to contact me."

The patient, referred to as Patient A, tried to take her life after Dr. Osborne ended their relationship over an email.

After Thursday's hearing, Dr. Osborne said, "It was never my intention to hurt anyone although I can now clearly see that my irresponsible behavior has led to a great deal of distress to the people that I care about, in particular my family and the patient in question.

"I realize that there is never any justification for breaking the boundaries of established good medical practice in regards to the doctor patient relationship, and it is never in the best interests of the patient to do so.

"I have found medicine to be a very rewarding and fulfilling career and I am very saddened that this career is now inevitably over," as reported by Metro
