If a licensed medical doctor employs an unqualified medical assistant to perform medical tasks, that medical doctor may be in violation of the Ontario Acts that regulate our health professionals. For instance, if a provider uses a Vega machine, iridology tests, intravenous ozone, hyperbaric oxygen, or other questionable devices or procedures in their practice, and if they claim that those procedures or tests have been associated with positive outcomes for your cancer, you have a right to complain. If that provider provides nutritional evaluation for your particular medical condition, they may be in violation of another of the regulated health protection acts, that one governs Registered Dieticians in this Province. The CPSO will listen to every complaint, no matter how inconsequential. There are no guarantees.
Desperate people do desperate things.
So, if you've been referred to a specific medical doctor by the CCRG, and you question their credentials, and treatment, you have the right to contact the CPSO directly. If you are outside of Ontario, you should contact the College of Physicians and Surgeons in your Province. You may even be asked to sign a contract for additional research at several hundred, or maybe even several thousands of dollars. You have a right to have that contract reviewed by your own doctor, or a lawyer to ask them to check the validity of the claims that were made. If you ask to see the credentials of the doctor in that clinic, and they refuse, you have the right to complain.
