Toronto doctor loses medical license for having sex with 'emotionally exposed' cancer patient in hospital bed
A Toronto doctor who began sexually abusing her male patient after she diagnosed him with cancer has been found guilty of the offenses by a disciplinary panel and was stripped of her medical license.
According to The Star, 37-year-old Theepa Sundaralingam, an oncologist, had sexual intercourse with the patient, identified in court documents only as Patient A due to a publication ban, multiple times on his hospital bed, even following him to a different medical facility when he left the hospital at which she worked and treated him.
Sundaralingam pleaded no contest to her charges in front of the disciplinary committee at the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario — meaning she did not admit to guilt but consented to the panel accepting the allegations as fact.
