HONG KONG - A Hong Kong doctor has been charged in court after he allegedly made up consultation appointments to make it look like he had a full schedule, a report said Tuesday.
Michael Ho, 46, was charged with misconduct in office and fraud after faking 33 appointments using the names of relatives and patients between 2007 and 2008 so he did not have to take walk-in patients, the South China Morning Post said.
Ho -- who pleaded not guilty to the charges -- allegedly used the names of his father, mother and son to make 16 false public hospital appointments when his parents were out of town and his son was at school, according to the Post.
