Previous Hearings

Committee: Discipline
Decision Date: 07 Dec 1992
Summary:

In a decision which was released in December 1992, the Discipline Committee found Dr. Morissette guilty of professional misconduct, as defined in s. 27(32) of Ontario Regulation 448/80, as amended, in that he engaged in conduct or an act relevant to the practice of medicine that, having regard to all the circumstances, would reasonably be regarded by members as disgraceful, dishonourable or unprofessional. Consequently, the Committee imposed the following penalty:

1. Dr. Morissette was to be reprimanded, with the fact of the reprimand to be recorded on the Register.

2. Dr. Morissette s licence to practice was to be suspended for a period of 36 months. This suspension was itself to be suspended on the following terms and conditions:

(a) Dr. Morissette was to continue in therapy with his present psychiatrist or an alternative therapist suggested by him and approved by the Registrar.

(b) Dr. Morissette was to continue regularly to participate in the programs directed by Alcoholics Anonymous and his community s Professional Support Group.

(c) Dr. Morissette was to continue to participate in a program of psychotherapeutic training under his present Director or an alternate suggested by him and approved by the Registrar.

(d) The suspension of Dr. Morissette s suspension was to be dependent upon reports being submitted every six months to the Registrar which, in his sole judgment, were deemed to be satisfactory.

(e) Dr. Morissette was not to enter into psychotherapeutic treatment with a female patient for a period of one year; thereafter, he was to be permitted to commence such therapy upon the approval of his psychiatrist and Director, or their alternates.

3. In the event that, in the judgment of the Registrar, Dr. Morissette failed to comply with any of these terms and conditions, the full suspension was to commence on a date to be fixed by the Registrar, not to exceed sixty days from the date on which the default, in the opinion of the Registrar, had occurred.

4. If Dr. Morissette s actions were the subject of a subsequent Hearing before the Discipline Committee of the College, the record of this Hearing was to form part of that procedure.
