* Four anesthesiologists from the Royal Victoria hospital in Montreal are facing disciplinary actions for questionable practices, including inadequate medical evaluations and incomplete patient records. * Dr. Thomas Schricker, a well-known anesthesiologist, has been accused of prescribing medication without meeting patients and has been recommended for a 3-month suspension. * Dr. Schricker also testified as an expert witness for the Crown in a high-profile trial in October 2024. * The hospital's department of anesthesiology has been plagued by tensions and criticisms, including a practice where anesthesiologists would delegate their responsibilities to other colleagues, putting patient safety at risk. * The hospital's administration has been criticized for not intervening despite receiving complaints about the department's practices. * The College of Physicians of Quebec is set to hold hearings in February 2025 to investigate the allegations against the four anesthesiologists. * #RoyalVictoriaHospital * #Anesthesiologists * #MedicalMalpractice * #PatientSafety * #HospitalScandals * #QuebecHealthcare * #MedicalDiscipline * #HealthcareReform https://www.journaldemontreal.com/2024/12/10/quatre-anesthesistes-de-lhopital-royal-victoria-devant-le-college-des-medecins-pour-des-pratiques-douteuses
