Physician Convicted Of Misconduct Suspended For Six Months, Must Have Chaperon

Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 26 Sep, 2016 12:40 PM
    ST. JOHN'S, N.L. — A disciplinary tribunal has suspended a Labrador West medical doctor for six months after he was found guilty of professional misconduct.
     
    The tribunal found Dr. Adekunle Owolabi guilty on Monday of all four counts of professional misconduct after four female patients accused him of making sexual comments, and of inappropriate hugging and kissing.
     
    He must complete training on appropriate doctor-patient boundaries, and pay $75,000 in hearing costs related to the investigation and disciplinary process.
     
    When he resumes practising, he must have a chaperone when seeing female patients for two years.
     
    Owolabi has 30 days to appeal to the trial division of the Supreme Court of Newfoundland and Labrador.
