Committee: Discipline
Decision Date: 23 Jun 2003
Summary:
On June 23, 2003, the Discipline Committee found that Dr. Rabin did not engage in sexual abuse of a patient and, furthermore, that his conduct in that regard was not conduct unbecoming a physician contrary to the legislation.
The Discipline Committee did find that Dr. Rabin committed an act of professional misconduct that, having regard to all the circumstances, would reasonably be regarded by members as unprofessional regarding his writing of prescriptions for his common-law spouse.
On October 2, 2003, the Discipline Committee released its written decision and reasons including its decision on penalty. The Discipline Committee was of the opinion that Dr. Rabin had been punished sufficiently by the extensive publicity focusing on the allegations and, therefore, no further action on penalty should be taken.
