Doctors at Lady Cilento children’s hospital are allegedly ‘turning a blind eye’ to parents illegally administering medicinal cannabis to their seriously ill children.
In a recording obtained by the ABC, Brisbane father Steve Peek told a doctor he would be administering the drug while his daughter is in Hospital, to which he was told as long as staff didn't know about it, it was ‘completely fine’.
Australian Medical Association Queensland vice-president Jim Finn said specialists are under huge pressure for a patients’ wellbeing and do not condone the use of anything unregulated being administered in hospitals.
