Dear Dr. Sherman:

REl Privileges at Capital Health Facili~ies

I
Your recent conduct at the Royal Alexandra Hospital involving both patients and other members of
I

the medical staff has hen brought to my attention. Based on the reports made to me, I believe
tllat this conduct constitutes a material failure to practise medicine to the standards required for
Ph~sicians practising wthin Capital Health f~cilities and that it is sufficient grounds to immediately
suspend your privileges pursuant to Capital Health's ~'iedical Staff BY!3VVS.
1

In light of your past Sl irvice within Capital Health facilities and the apparent possibility that your
actibns may have been caused or contributed to by health related factors, I am prepared to
I ,

withhold taking formal ilction relative to your privileges in Capital Health facilities if you will agree to
the: conditions outlined' below. Capital Health feels. that these conditions are necessary for the
protection of its patient; and staff:

•. (a) you will imrnedlatelv cease all clinical activities within Capital Health facilities;
/II¥

~ (0) you 'f/!/! lmmedlaelv take sf-ens to seel< rn·.,c!ic?1 ClSSt='ssmE"'t Bnd treatment ('no VOU INi!!
I" '.
diligently contmue-such treatments,
I . ,
if any, as rnav be recommended to you;

;1 (c) you will only returln to practising medldne within Capital Health facilities at such time as you
provide me wltbevldence which I think is acceptable, of your ability to resume practising
medicine to an apjropriate standard, from physicians involved in treating you;

•• (d) until such time as: I prlVide you with written authorization to re-commence exercising your
privileges within CapitaliHealth facilities you will not ei1ther enter onto such facilities (except to
the extent requlreji for treatment, if any) or attempt to have ant contact with Capital Health
