I tried reporting a doctor to one of the provincial colleges and was told that until the patient is dead, there has been no malpractice.
I said that the doctor had come to a conclusion that was flat-out illegal. There were no criteria, by any stretch of the imagination, that would qualify this patient for MAID. Both the family doctor and I told the MAID provider this. The college said that until the person is dead, it's not malpractice. I said that this person is being induced to a suicide plan, has been given the belief that they will be killed and they were offered their date to be killed. The college said that it would do nothing.
I have tried, colleagues have tried and that's what we hit our heads against.
