A notice on the college website states that Dr. Esther Park, whose licence was restricted to office-based gynecology in December, will effectively stop practising medicine this Wednesday.

Judge opts for euphemisms.

A former Alberta cabinet minister says an investigation called by Premier Danielle Smith’s government into multimillion-dollar health contracts looks like a whitewashing exercise.

The government's request was made last month when it filed for an injunction in the high-profile lawsuit launched by Athana Mentzelopoulos, the former chief executive of Alberta Health Services.

According to the college’s findings, some of the boundary violations included engaging in casual conversations, ‘excessive disclosure’ of personal information and exchanging gifts, among others.

A new affidavit filed Wednesday by Alberta Health Services says the agency is looking to amend its statement of defence in light of the emails, which the agency says it only became aware of last week.

Athana Mentzelopoulos, in a court document filed Thursday, alleges that far from being criticized for her work, she was praised by Health Minister Adriana LaGrange.

The ruling also rejects the claim that the original judge showed bias by saying the father tried to ‘indoctrinate’ the children by showing them ‘disturbing videos and telling them that the vaccine will kill them.’
