An Ontario doctor has been placed under supervision by the provincial physicians regulator after an investigation into his MAID practice found that he crossed professional boundaries and failed to adhere to protocols – including in one case where inadequate medication caused a patient to resume breathing after the doctor pronounced him dead and left.
The College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario reviewed two complaints against Dr. James MacLean relating to two 2024 medical assistance in dying cases and conducted a broader probe into his general medical practice that included a review of his charts.
