North Island doctor's ER suspension due to patient complaint, not public comments: Island Health
“I’m not going to get into the patient details. Port Hardy’s a small town if I get far down that road, the patient is going to be identified in 22 seconds and patients have a right to privacy,” Williams said. “The issue of his dog had nothing to do with his restriction of privileges. Dr. Nataros’ privileges were restricted because I have significant concerns about patient safety and … that has to be our number one priority.
“I wouldn’t normally be involved in an issue like that, because Dr. Nataros asked the concern be forwarded to me, I called him up,” Williams said. Williams says the restrictions on Nataros are in place until an investigation can be complete and that Nataros has the ability to appeal the decision.CHEK NewsletterSign Me Up
