Some docs don’t get it
“Ontario’s doctor shortage ‘can’t be a mitigating factor’ for a Sault Ste. Marie physician who breached an order not to examine female patients except in the presence of a female nurse . . .
. . . Dr. DeLuco was first suspended from practice last January 11 after the college learned he had seen two women patients, and performed a breast examination on one, in what the panel described as “a deliberate and flagrant” violation of the earlier order.
Earlier this month, Dr. DeLuco, the chair of the Ontario Medical Association’s general and family practice section, pleaded guilty to seeing the two patients without a female monitor.”
