Committee: Discipline
Decision Date: 05 Sep 1995
Summary:
In September 1995, Dr. Brawley pleaded guilty to a charge of professional misconduct, as defined in s. 26(28) of Ontario Regulation 577/75, as amended, in that he committed sexual impropriety with a patient. He also pleaded guilty to a charge of professional misconduct, as defined in Ontario Regulation 448/80, as amended, in that he committed sexual impropriety with a patient, contrary to s. 27(29); and 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, contrary to s. 27(32). The Discipline Committee accepted Dr. Brawley's plea of guilty to these charges and found him guilty of professional misconduct. Consequently, the Committee ordered that Dr. Brawley be reprimanded, with the fact of the reprimand to be recorded on the Register, that he be fined the sum of $5000.00, and that his licence to practice medicine be revoked.
