Medical condition reports: How a diagnosis can lead to a suspended licence

from This Matters · host Toronto Star

Guest: Robert Cribb, investigative reporter Imagine having your license suspended and you didn't know it was in jeopardy? It all comes down to medical condition reports (MCRs), widely used forms that some medical professionals must file when patients have potentially dangerous conditions that "warrant a licence suspension," according to the ministry. Doctors are paid to submit the form and sometimes they don't have to inform a patient. A joint investigation by the Toronto Star and the Investigative Journalism Bureau at the University of Toronto's Dalla Lana School of Public Health has found these reports and suspensions have been applied haphazardly and they have had a devastating affect on a person's life. This episode was produced by Brian Bradley, Sean Pattendon and Raju Mudhar.
