Doctor indicted for faking patient chart

(ANSA) - Bari, May 6 - A Bari doctor has been indicted for forgery and attempted abuse of office, prosecution sources said Friday.
    Dr. Antonietta Cicco is charged with falsifying an elderly patient's medical chart and trying to force two nurses to posthumously write down that an anticoagulant had been given when it had not.
    "She did so to avoid sanctions for acts of omission," prosecutors said.
    The alleged incident took place April 29, 2014, when Cicco was on duty at the Mater Dei Clinic internal medicine department. The doctor, who is now retired, was reported by one of the two nurses. She goes on trial beginning July 12.
