Dr Ileana Bartha was caught less than eight miles away from the hospital with two empty vodka bottles and an almost empty bottle of brandy in the passenger side footwell.

The story got plenty of responses on Twitter, with one user suggesting: "Now do a random drug test on her the same as they do our Armed Forces, or are they government afraid of what they might uncover."
