Committee: Discipline
Decision Date: 14 Dec 2010
Summary:
On December 14, 2010, the Discipline Committee found that Dr. Albert Ross Deep committed an act of
professional misconduct in that he engaged in conduct or an act or omission relevant to the
practice of medicine that having regard to all the circumstances would reasonably be regarded by
members as disgraceful, dishonourable or unprofessional.
While his certificate of registration
was suspended, Dr. Deep engaged in the practice of medicine in accepting a referral from another
physician, ordering diagnostic blood tests, diagnosing disease and prescribing medications that
could be dispensed only on the order of a physician. Dr. Deep was fully aware that his certificate
of registration had been suspended. Dr. Deep's actions constituted a deliberate flouting of the
College's authority.
On May 24, 2011, the Discipline Committee ordered and directed that Dr. Deep
pay to the College costs in the amount of $10,950, to be paid within 30 days of the date of this
order. The Committee found that Dr. Deep has demonstrated complete ungovernability and that, if
Dr. Deep's certificate of registration had not already been revoked, revocation would have been
the appropriate penalty in this case.

1. The
Registrar revoke the certificate of registration of Dr. Albert Ross Deep effective

days of the date of this Order, unless the Committee has made an order following submissions that
