$3,000: The fine, in addition to a four-month suspension, that was levied against Montreal physician Dr. Barry Rabinovitch by the Quebec College of Physicians after he was discovered to have filmed his female patients with a hidden camera.
According to the disciplinary report released Tuesday, the investigation found that Rabinovitch filmed 10 to 15 women in various stages of undress in an examining room between January and May 2009.FAIL. The message their penalty actually sends is: "It'll cost you three grand and a nice vacation to sexually assault your patients."
...The professional order calls the actions "hateful and degrading" and says the penalty must send a deterrent message to all members of the profession.
