Malpractice

Only fee-for-service MDs, alone among professionals, get paid the same for a service regardless of how experienced they are

TORONTO | A pediatrician has been hit with another accusation of sexual assault—his third in recent years.

Dr. Bruce Liberman, the anesthesiologist who played a key role in a liposuction surgery that went wrong, leading to the high-profile death of a local real-estate agent several years ago, has lost his licence.

A lawyer has told the Toronto Star newspaper North York General Hospital has settled with most of the woman who have come forward with allegations an anesthesiologist who worked there sexually assaulted them.
