A professional misconduct hearing for a Charlottetown surgeon got underway Friday morning.
The College of Physicians and Surgeons of P-E-I referred allegations made toward Dr. David Ashby to a board of inquiry. Ashby is accused of engaging in a sexual relationship with a patient and also prescribing anti-anxiety and anti-depression medications without proper diagnosis and outside the scope of his medical practice.
The hearing will be held at the college’s office in Charlottetown.
