Date of Decision: 22 Sep 2011
Summary of Decision:
On September 22, 2011, the Discipline Committee found that Dr. William George Weaver committed an act of professional misconduct, in that he engaged in conduct or an act or omission relevant to the practice of medicine that, having regard to all the circumstances, would reasonably be regarded by members as disgraceful, dishonourable or unprofessional.

The Committee determined that Dr. Weaver engaged in a sexual relationship with a vulnerable patient within one day of the termination of the doctor-patient relationship.

On February 8, 2012, the Discipline Committee ordered and directed that:

1. the Registrar suspend Dr. Weaver's certificate of registration for six (6) months. This suspension is to take effect if and when Dr. Weaver's certificate of registration is reinstated, commencing on the day the certificate is reinstated.

2. the Registrar impose the following terms, conditions and limitations on Dr. Weaver's certificate of registration if and when it is reinstated:
a. Dr. Weaver shall not engage in any professional encounter or interaction with any female patient except in the presence of a monitor. Dr. Weaver will be responsible for the associated costs of the monitor;
b. that Monitor shall be a member of a health profession pursuant to the terms of the Regulated Health Professions Act, 1991, S.O. 1991, c. 18 as amended, who is acceptable to the College of Physicians and Surgeons (the "College");
c. the Monitor must remain in the examination or consulting room at all times during all professional encounters with all female patients;
d. the Monitor is required to carefully observe all physical examinations of all female patients, including but not limited to internal examinations of female patients;
e. the Monitor is required to maintain a log of all female patient encounters and that the log shall provide the name of the female patient, and the purpose and date of the appointment. The Monitor will sign and date the corresponding entry on the female patient's medical record;
f. Dr. Weaver shall post a sign in his office and consulting rooms notifying patients of subparagraphs (a) and (b) above in English;
g. Dr. Weaver shall cooperate with unannounced inspections of his practice and such other steps as the College may take for the purpose of monitoring and enforcing his compliance with the terms of this Order; and
h. Dr. Weaver shall successfully complete, at his own expense, the College's Understanding Boundary Issues and Managing the Risks Inherent in the Doctor-Patient Relationship and an educational program in ethics approved by the College.

3. Dr. Weaver appear before the panel to be reprimanded if and when he is reinstated.

4. Dr. Weaver pay costs to the College in the amount of $7,300.
