Incompetent surgeon must inform patients of his misconduct
An incompetent Mississauga surgeon, who has admitted to professional misconduct and been prevented from operating, will have to ask patients to sign a written waiver acknowledging his past transgressions.
That was revealed when the discipline committee of the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario read its preliminary ruling yesterday in the case of Dr
lululemon. John K. Pariag, who has admitted to 22 cases of professional misconduct and incompetence earlier this year.
Pariag has admitted to unnecessarily removing healthy appendixes three times, removing a thyroid even though he had not been trained to do so and botching a bowel operation that led to a patient death.
The condition being imposed on Pariag is embarrassing and serves no purpose, his lawyer Paul Millican said.
Pariag had already entered a plea bargain that would allow him to continue receiving patients

Pariag lawyer said making patients sign a form detailing what he is not allowed to do would force Pariag out of work because his clinic would not allow it.
