DISCIPLINE SUMMARIES
DR. ABC
On August 2, 2017 the Discipline Committee
released its decision in the case of Dr. ABC and
found that the allegations that he had engaged in
sexual impropriety with a patient and had engaged in
disgraceful, dishonourable or unprofessional conduct
were not proved.
The allegations pertained to two young female
patients over the period 1982 to 1985. Patient 1 was
between the ages of 4 and 7. It was alleged that Dr.
ABC sexually assaulted her during medical appoint-
ments and also required her to stand in the corner
of the room with her clothes off. Patient 2 was the
younger sister of Patient 1. It was alleged that Dr.
ABC required her to stand in the corner with her
clothes off.
The Committee held that while Patient 1 was cred-
ible, her evidence was not reliable. Some aspects of
Patient 2’s story could have happened, but the details
were unclear. The Committee concluded that the al-
legations were unproven.
