A Swan River doctor has been censured and fined more than 97-hundred dollars for failing to properly care for a 62 year old woman in a personal care home.
Doctor Fayez Fouad Fahim Gouda was cited for failing to respond to what was an urgent medical situation, displaying a lack of judgment and failing to conduct himself in a professional manner.
He was on duty in the Emergency Department, which included on-call responsivities for the personal care home, in August of 2016.
The woman suffered from several chronic illnesses, with multiple sclerosis and diabetes being particularly significant.
She became ill with diarrhea for several days leading up to August 8th. Her care was generally being managed by her family physician.
The penalties brought down against Doctor Gouda come after an investigation by the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Manitoba.
The college says the doctor's actions were ``egregious'' when he failed to act on a request to have the chronically ill woman admitted to hospital when her condition began to slip.
