No one is perfect–but a physician charged for the tenth time for sex related allegations is still seeing patients in Canada.
How this is possible completely eludes me. Were the previous nine allegations all found to be completely unsubstantiated? Is this poor fellow being singled out? I don’t think so.
According to a report from EnergeticCity.ca, the physician was arrested in June for the first nine allegations occurring between both male and female patients, even minors.
Even so, in their infinite wisdom, the Alberta College of Physicians and Surgeons did not suspend his license. Perhaps he received fifty lashes with a wet noodle and a “hall monitor” to attend is visits with patients.
One doesn’t even have to consider the ways in which medical ethics has been violated here and that those violations have been ignored by the local medical association. It’s just plain wrong. This physician should lose his license and be looking for a new job selling boats. Then there would be no code of ethics or Hippocratic oath to get in the way of his impulses and inappropriate behavior.
