The College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario cannot confirm the content of nearly 70 complaints, but a group of doctors pushing for a national ban says one of its leaders is the main target
Ontario’s medical regulator says it has received dozens of complaints in the last month over doctors advocating for gun control.
But a group of doctors pushing for a national ban on privately owned handguns and assault weapons says one of its leaders is the main target.The group Doctors for Protection from Guns says most if not all the complaints are about Dr. Najma Ahmed, a Toronto trauma surgeon who treated victims of a fatal mass shooting last summer.
In a tweet last month, one of the coalition’s staff members said she was submitting a complaint because it is “immoral” for a doctor to use her influence for political purposes. “The CPSO’s legislated complaints process is generally intended to focus on clinical care or professional behaviour,” the college’s registrar, Nancy Whitmore, said in a statement.
