UNREGISTERED naturopath, Fay Fain, has been issued with a permanent prohibition order, barring her from providing health services, by the NSW Health Care Complaints Commission (HCCC).
The HCCC launched an investigation into Fain's practise after receiving a number of complaints that included two clients having to be transported to Sydney's St Vincent's Hospital with fever, hypotension, acute kidney injury and systemic inflammatory response after being given IV infusions on 02 Dec 2020.
The investigation found that Fain was not trained or qualified to administer the infusions without supervision, and that she failed to recognise the seriousness of the patients' conditions when they suffered serious adverse reactions.
The HCCC said, "Fain also does not appear to have any meaningful insight with respect to the serious risk to the health and safety" of the patients.
