ESTEVAN - An Estevan physician has been charged with breaching the conditions of his undertaking by the College of Physicians and Surgeons.
The college states Dr. Mehdi Horri was charged on April 14 with unprofessional conduct "for having a professional encounter with a female patient without a female practice monitor present, as required by his undertaking, and for failing to immediately report the breach of his undertaking to the college.”
Horri’s licence has not been suspended for the breach, and his profile for the college says he is on the registrar.
His hearing is listed as pending, and no hearing date is listed on the College of Physicians and Surgeons website.
The charge has not been proven.
The physician, who has been practising in Estevan since 2012, was suspended for several weeks in mid-January. His licence was reinstated on Feb. 27, but he was limited to providing services within his clinic. He agreed that he would not perform any procedures that require suturing or the use of a scalpel.
He also agreed to have a chaperone present through the entirety of any interactions with female patients, and at the time, measures were put in place to ensure it happens.
When he was reinstated, there was an ongoing investigation involving Horri, as complaints were levelled against him by two patients.
