The appellant physician appealed a decision of the Discipline Committee of the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario imposing a seven-month suspension and a 30-day preparatory period for breaching previous practice restrictions.
The appellant admitted to prescribing prohibited substances and seeing a female patient contrary to a 2011 order.
The Divisional Court dismissed the appeal, finding that the Discipline Committee's penalty was reasonable, fell within the range of acceptable outcomes, and was owed deference.
