The Ontario College of Physicians and Surgeons has put a Windsor paediatrician on a three-month suspension.
A CPSO disciplinary tribunal found Doctor Lenna Morgan guilty of professional misconduct for reportedly starting a romantic relationship with a family member of one of her patients.
“Failure to maintain boundaries can cloud judgment and compromise safe and effective care,” said a letter from the college to Morgan. “You provided comprehensive medical care to Patient A over an extended period while also developing a close and subsequent romantic relationship with Patient A’s close family member.”
She was found guilty of engaging in actions that are disgraceful, dishonourable, or unprofessional, as well as conduct unbecoming of a physician.
The suspension began on April 8, and Morgan must complete a medical ethics course within six months.
She will also be required to pay a fine of $6,000.
