Nearly 100 complaints in three days against psychiatrist Graham Burrows

This man physically assaulted me and then sexually assaulted me in a workplace. I was never his patient. I am a professional woman, who was working on a legal case in which he was to be a medical witness. He came up behind me with no notice when no one else was around, pushed me forcibly into a room, and did what he wanted, grabbing me and sticking his tongue in mouth. If this odious orange-haired and vertically-challenged toad was alive today, he would be quivering with the fear of disclosure, but back then, it was impossible for a professional woman to make a legal report. I still do not begin to understand how a medical professional who would understand how sexual assault affects victims would sexually assault women. I would like to think I was the only one, but I doubt it. I suspect many other female professionals were also victims, given the sort of attack I suffered. Hopefully, not his patients, who were the most vulnerable of the vulnerable. It is apparently wrong to speak ill of the dead, but I would say that if as a dead man you did not want anything bad said about you, then as an alive man you should not have sexually assaulted me (or anyone else). Burrows, every time I think of you, and now it is often with the #MeToo movement, you make me incredibly sad and sick to my stomach. You should be ashamed and so should any other man (or woman) who treats another person just like a piece of meat.

Professor Burrows had a devasting impact on my life.I am deeply sorry for the many of his patients who suffered at his hands and regret the fact that he died before he could be brought to account for his mistreatment of vulnerable people who came to him seeking his help.

This is for my mum she died of mn disease I believe BC of the medication and ECG treatments for professor burrows.My mum June whyte was his patient for over 20yrs. She was in and out of the Melbourne clinic constantly since the age of 12yrs I watched this man treat my mum. Even so young I felt he was wrong!!!! No time for her just a new drug, new experiment. Creepy false man. I had no voice I was a child, no one would listen to me.
He used my mum to promote himself in the heard sun. I also witnessed the annorexic patients he treated.....scary stuff!!!
My inner voice was always right, even now saying no to the experiment vaccination, today. After witnessing what these drugs can do to people.
I will never ever trust psychiatrists.
They work for big pharma!!!
Low and behold he was connected to Astra zenneca. You killed my mum, but saved me by deplorable mistreatment.

This scum ruined my life by massively over medicating me with that horrible horrible drug Xanax. He then made me withdraw cold turkey from it simply because my wife removed me from "his" Melbourne Clinic against his wishes. He then would not release my medication, knowing full well what was going to happen to me. Three days later I was rushed to hospital in a critical condition.
It's not public knowledge but this bastard actually took his own life!
Good riddance.
I feel for the others that came into contact with this weak parasite.
I can't stop hearing him say to people in his silver tounge, condescending manner, as he pointed to his crappy little pin he would put into his jacket collar....."I bet you haven't seen one of these before! Do you know what it is? No, of course you dont. It's an order of Australia"!
Pompous Git.

Another Xanax victim

The year 2001 was a roller coaster ride for me. During a 3 month period my marriage ended, I had to sell my family home, my brother-in-law was killed in a car accident and I had to have a hysterectomy. In hindsight, I now realise that those events were significant, life changing events that resulted in a breakdown.
A close family member organised an appointment for me to see Prof Burrows. Initial consultation comprised on me filling out a lengthy questionnaire and then a face to face with Prof Burrows (15 min.) He admitted me to the Melbourne Clinic where I remained for the next 6 weeks.
I was placed Xanax and the 6 week admission now seems like a bad dream.
Prof Burrows would stick his head in the room each morning but it was more like a head count, not any sort of consultation. If I did try to raise concerns with him he would say that he was pressed for time and we could discuss it on his next visit. This was his standard response.
There came a day that I was so frustrated with his response that I wrote my concerns on a post-it note and attached it to his jacket. This outraged him as it was done in front of the other patients that I shared the room with.
During the next week an appointment was had with Prof Burrows in a private office. The purpose of the consultation was to discuss the option of having shock therapy. As I had witnessed other fellow patients having this procedure I declined the treatment.
I had 2 more stays at the Melb Clinic under Prof Burrows that year and continued taking Xanax.
A close friend suggested getting a 2nd opinion as she had concerns as to how heavily medicated I was. I took her advice and my new psychiatrist promptly weaned me off Xanax, put me on an antidepressant and referred me to a psychologist, something Prof Burrows never did.
In my opinion Prof Burrows' did not treat me or help me, all he did was over medicate me and was never interested in the underlying issues that had caused my breakdown.

My mum had been seeing Professor Burrows for years, starting in the late 80s when he diagnosed her with depression. He prescribed her anti psychotic and anti depression medications like Tolvon and others that I can%u2019t remember. Despite my mum feeling fine without the medication, she continued taking it for 20 years because Professor Burrows insisted. In August 1998, concerned about a sore and stiff thumb, she visited her own doctor, who referred her to Monash Hospital for tests. There, she was diagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease and passed away 18 months later. I strongly believe that the misuse of these long-term medications , and the initial incorrect misdiagnosis, contributed to her condition, and I feel that Professor Burrows is responsible for her death.

i was with the 'PROF'for 15 years cant recall how many times i was in the melbourne clinic . i believed for so long that he would cure me as he suggested i had terrible panic attacks over the years and every day i would experience panick modes very tense and expecting an attack any second . on weekends i was too scared to stay at home in epping i would drive down to a hospital and park outside for hours, a sort of comfort zone for me . i thought if i have an attack i,m right next door to a hospital , i know now there would be nothing they could do . on one of my stays in the melbourne clinic i was late arriving to register as i could not get on the train to travel . i told the PROF why and he straight away introduced me to don jeffries a phsycolagist who instantly put me on a tram so as i would travel some distance away and come back again to the clinic , also he had me travel into town with other patients so we could get a lift in some high buiding and look over the top and report our experiences . he had me stand on his desk so as i could jump up and down shouting i love me i love me . the last session i recall was to go with other patients and dine out if you will , later in the evening he arrived and acted like i cant describe . i was then presented with his bill of a thousand dollars which i wasn't covered for . after 15 years the prof said to me i quote....tony your one of a few that i cant cure ? that was the last visit i had with him . while i was his patient and on too high a dose of medication i seperated from my wife of 30 years i sold my home and eventually entered a relationship that lasted 12 years i,m now in a home for the aged , but not in the caring section as i,m still able to be self efficiant . i,m able to do a lot more now than when under phsiciatrists i bought myself way way down in dosage of medication fom 35 years of 25mls at least of various drugs to 3/4 of a mil . every month as i say i would visit a phsyciatrist for all those 35 years simply because i never felt well at all . i dont feel crash hot these day's as i,m about to turn 87 in may 2025 its been a rough journey and now i,m dealing with the age factor i,ve not been this old before .in closing i know the difference between overdosing if you will maybe it might work for other patients , i can only speak for myself i was introduced to valium in march 1965 and a long long journey followed . tony lee ...
