Decision Date: 22 Oct 2020
Summary:
On October 22, 2020, the Discipline Committee found that Dr. John Taliano committed
an act of professional misconduct, in that he engaged in sexual abuse of a patient; and
engaged in conduct or an act or omission relevant to the practice of medicine that,
having regard to all of the circumstances, would reasonably be regarded by members
as disgraceful, dishonourable or unprofessional.
Patient A
The Committee found that Dr. Taliano engaged in professional misconduct in that he
sexually abused Patient A by inappropriately touching his testicles and penis under the
guise of a medical examination, and that this also constitutes disgraceful, dishonourable
or unprofessional conduct.
The Committee also found that Dr. Taliano engaged in disgraceful, dishonourable or
unprofessional conduct by telling Patient “A” to “Drop his pants”, and by insisting on
examining Patient A despite his protestations and refusal of a genital examination.
Witness B
The Committee found that Dr. Taliano engaged in disgraceful, dishonourable or
unprofessional conduct by entering the shower of Witness B while naked and touching
Witness B’s penis, and by making a comment regarding Witness B's penis size in the
presence of others.
A penalty hearing is to be scheduled.
