TORONTO CRIMINAL LAWYER LIAM O'CONNOR WHO IS DEFENDING TORONTO WESTERN HOSPITAL NEUROSURGEON SHAMJI POINTS OUT THAT AS LONG AS A DOCTOR IS ALIVE THE MD CAN BE CHARGED FOR FREUDIAN MISBEHAVIOUR .
THIS SEVERE RISK IS NOT EMPHASISED BY OMA LEGAL DEPARTMENT OF FOUR SALARIED LAWYERS.
IT IS IMPERATIVE TO HAVE A PROFESSIONAL WITNESS, (SAY RPN), PRESENT WHEN EXAMINING A PERSON OF ANY GENDER.
A PROBLEM EXISTS WITH PSYCHIATRY. A POSSIBLE SOLUTION IS TO RENT OFFICES
AT ORGANISATIONS SUCH AS REGUS WHICH HAVE A BUSY COMMON AREAS OR IN HOSPITAL CLINICS. PRIVATE OFFICES ARE A MAJOR RISK IN PSYCHIATRY
AS FOR UNCHAPERONED HOUSE CALLS; DIFFICULT TO DEFEND A COMPLAINT IF NO WITNESS.
IN PRESENT POLITICAL CLIMATE BEST NOT TO PUT MEDICAL LICENSE IN DANGER . BY ANY 'POLITICALLY INCORRECT' QUESTION OR STATEMENT AND BY ANY MOVEMENT OR GESTURE THAT COULD IMPLY A SENSUAL OVERTONE. BEST TO USE FORMAL SALUTATION INC FAMILY NAME. FIRST NAME ONLY FOR CHILDREN SAY UP TO 16. SOME ETHNIC COMMUNITIES DISLIKE DIFFERENT GENDERS SHAKING HANDS.
