Chiropodist's registration revoked for implanting unapproved, self-designed stents without informed consent and inadequate record-keeping.
The Member, a registered chiropodist, admitted to professional misconduct for implanting unapproved stents of his own design into patients' feet instead of the Health Canada-approved stents they had consented to receive.
The Member also failed to keep adequate patient records.
The Discipline Committee of the College of Chiropodists of Ontario accepted an agreed statement of facts and a joint submission on penalty.
The Committee ordered the revocation of the Member's certificate of registration, issued a reprimand, and ordered the Member to pay $30,000 in costs.
