Persecution of doctors in Canada
Doctors with at least one 'victory' against the college
Akbar Khan
He details his multi-year fight against the CPSO at CPSOcrimes.com. The website lists various other doctors who were able to hold onto their license for some time. For many years, he was able to retain his license but he ultimately lost it in 2022.
Khan appealed to the Ontario divisional court, which ruled against him. The court decision implicitly defers to the CPSO in determining what is and isn't the standard of care:
The use of treatments that are not part of generally accepted or “conventional” therapies or the use of “conventional medications” in an unconventional or “off-label” manner is governed by Policy Statement #3-11 issued by the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario entitled “Complementary/Alternative Medicine.”
