BACKGROUND

More than 100 patients of a doctor targeted for professional discipline for providing COVID mask exemption to two child patients are going to Court on March 30 to challenge the demand for their medical records by the College. Masking policies have been proven to be lacking supportive scientific evidence by Cochrane Review. Nevertheless, the College (regulating the doctor) is using its powers to investigate and discipline a doctor to unlawfully pry into the lives and lifestyles of her patients.

The College has no business and jurisdiction to go fishing for personal names and information about private citizens using the doctor as bait! The Courts have ruled that a doctor must hand over unredacted medical records EVEN if the request is unlawful and unconstitutional!

Please see attached documents including official press release, backgrounder and information on legal counsel.

The Case is scheduled to be heard on March 30, 2023 at 10:00 A.M. at 130 Queen Street West, Toronto
