Dr. Michel Barette

The career of a doctor on the verge of retirement ends in a very bad way. He has been suspended by the College of Physicians for having sex with a patient for over a year. Dr. Michel Barette, a family physician from Magog aged 65, was removed temporarily for a period of three months and ordered to pay a fine of $ 1000. Home visits In 2005 and 2006, he maintained an intimate relationship and had sex with a patient long-suffering at the time of colon cancer. Their relationship began when the doctor paid a visit to the sick at home. He was seduced among others by their common interests. Patients When it was heard by the College of Physicians last December, Dr Barette said he would close his clinic if his removal was over a month due to lack of money. In such an alternative, he said fear of not having the time to redirect his patients to other doctors. Malg re all, the college has chosen to suspend for a period of three months, to the dismay of his attorney, Benedict Massicotte. History of love "A lot of patients are affected and in Magog, family doctors do not run the streets," he said. "It's a shame that so many people have to pay for what was a genuine love story," he adds
