The Ontario College of Physicians and Surgeons has suspended a Windsor paediatrician for three months.
A CPSO disciplinary tribunal found Doctor Lenna Morgan guilty of professional misconduct for allegedly developing a romantic relationship with a patient's family member.
"Failure to maintain boundaries can cloud judgment and compromise safe and effective care," said a letter from the college to Morgan. "You provided comprehensive medical care to Patient A over an extended period while also developing a close and subsequent romantic relationship with Patient A's close family member."
She was found guilty of committing an act or omission that is disgraceful, dishonourable, or unprofessional, and engaging in conduct unbecoming of a physician.
The suspension took effect on April 8, and Morgan was ordered to take a medical ethics course within the next six months.
She'll also have to pay a $6,000 fine.
