Controversial Quebec psychiatrist rebuked for misdiagnosing patients
Provided by: Canadian PressWritten by: THE CANADIAN PRESS
Nov. 9, 2009
MONTREAL - A controversial Quebec radio host and psychiatrist has been found guilty of 13 charges related to his medical practice.
A disciplinary committee found Pierre Mailloux guilty of misdiagnosing patients and prescribing large doses of two antipsychotic drugs.
The Quebec College of Physicians ruled he made hasty diagnostic judgments which he failed to revise when patients began experiencing dangerous side-effects.
The side-effects included respiratory problems, motor and vocal difficulties, anxiety, vomiting, heart palpitations and confusion.

Mailloux was also found guilty of claiming fees for services that are covered by the provincial health plan.
The outspoken psychiatrist had been taken to task previously for making derogatory comments about black people.
A date has not yet been set for sentencing but he is currently banned from treating minors.
Possible sanctions include a reprimand, temporary or permanent suspension or a fine.
