Almost a year after Erin Patterson’s trial, and on the run up to
her appeal, one of it's most significant witnesses says his own
life has been turned upside down.

Dr Chris Webster was the rural GP who treated Ian and Heather
Wilkinson after the deadly mushroom lunch, questioned Erin
Patterson when she came to hospital, and made the call to police
that helped set the investigation in motion. His evidence became
one of the defining moments of the trial.

But after speaking publicly following the verdict, Dr Webster
found himself facing complaints to Australia's medical regulator.
He says the consequences have been devastating: restrictions on
his practice, the collapse of his medical clinic, the loss of his
livelihood and a future in doubt.

In this episode, Wayne and Caroline are joined Dr Webster to
speak about emotional toll of the case, why he believes he has
been unfairly treated and why he refuses to compromise his
principles.
