Doctor admits more medication was illogical for patient at nursing home

Supplied video obtained May 7, 2019 of the hearings in Sydney for the Royal Commission into Aged Care Quality and Safety. Dr Kenneth Wong gives evidence in relation to Mr Terrence Reeves who received the antipsychotic medicine Risperidone that causes drowsiness and uncontrollable muscle movements while staying at Garden View nursing home. Mr Reeves was first admitted he was at walking around but fourteen days later, that had changed allegedly because he was prescribe the drug by nursing staff to help him sleep. Senior Counsel Assisting Mr Peter Gray QC suggests it was illogical to prescribe Mr Reeves more Risperidone. "In that sense, yes," Dr Wong agreed.
