  This is the system working as it should. When you are a physician, you have an incredibly high burden of care towards your patients, and you have an ethical and a deontological obligation (in some cases a legal one, though doctors do have a lot of leeway, for patient-centred care, in Canada) to give them the highest standard of care. As far as I can tell, these are all examples of serious breaches of this duty. These physicians didn't just accidentally cross some fuzzy line, or slip off a tight rope. They were way off in their conduct. Heck, with the exception of one, they apparently didn't even show up in court. In all of the above cases, it is the public and the patients who are being protected.

    The ones being protected are not tbe patients. They lose access to many good doctors who should still be doctors. Many more now don't get the highest standard of care and in some cases any access to care because of these decisions. Removing experienced doctors for political reasons does not provide the highest quality of care..

      This is not a "political reason", it's a "professionalism reason" or even arguably a "malpractice reason", whether you like it or not.
