Committee: Discipline
Decision Date: 27 Nov 1986
Summary:
In November 1986, Dr. Etzkorn pleaded guilty to a charge of professional misconduct, as defined in s. 27(16) of Ontario Regulation 448/80, as amended, in that he falsified records in respect of the examination or treatment of his patient. The Discipline Committee accepted this plea, and found Dr. Etzkorn guilty of professional misconduct. Consequently, the Committee ordered that Dr. Etzkorn's licence to practice be suspended for a period of three months, but that the imposition of that penalty would itself be suspended indefinitely upon the condition that the Doctor pay a fine of $2000.00. In addition, the Committee ruled that Dr. Etzkorn be reprimanded, and that the fact of the reprimand be recorded on the College Register.
Appeal: No Appeal
