Report has it that a Nigerian medical doctor identified as
Dr. Adekunle Williams-Owolabi who lives in Canada has had his licence revoked
for a period of 6 months in the wake of making sexual remarks to patients at
his facility in Labrador West.
The doctor’s permit was suspended and he was requested to
pay the whole of $75,000 towards the expenses of holding the hearing where he
was discovered blameworthy of ethical offense towards patients which is against
the ethics of the profession.
A board set up by the College of Physicians and Surgeons of
Newfoundland and Labrador in St. Johns settled on the choice to suspend the permit
of the doctor on Monday.
As indicated by CBC News, an instructor, Arlene Johnson, who
go to Owolabi's facility, affirmed that he made some sexual remarks amid a
pelvic examination.
According the lady, after the test, he had embraced her and
whispered in her ear, “You have a beautiful cl*t, does your husband tell you
that?”
Similarly, another complainant additionally affirmed that
Owolabi made improper remarks while looking at her pelvic.
She said Owolabi asked, “Do you like big ones or small
ones?”
According to the lady the remarks was made to her when she
was pregnant, uncovered starting from the waist and her feet in stirrups, while
two female secretaries in the room viewed.
The board said that Owolabi's wrong remarks and touching of
patients demonstrated an absence of appreciation for their decency and safety.
Accordingly, it taught him to have a chaperone present at whatever point he
sees female patients in the following two years and subsequent to coming back
to therapeutic practice.
Owolabi, who confessed to embracing one of the patients,
however denied making such remarks towards the lady. His legal counsellor, Paul
Stokes, said they were frustrated in the board set up to investigate the matter
for settling on the choice.
In spite of the fact that the specialist has 30 days to plea
the board's choice in court, Stokes said that he and his customer had not chosen
on the off chance that they would go on with any appeal.
The board set up an example of conduct after four previous
patients of Owolabi held up the charges of expert offense. They affirmed before
the tribunal that his activities extended from making sexual remarks to
improper touching and kissing at his center.
