Canadian Doctor Sentenced for Assisted Suicide

Dr. Ramesh Kumar Sharma, a British Columbian physician, pled guilty to attempting to assisted the suicide of a 92-year-old nursing home resident. The woman survived. Although he was not jailed, has been stripped of his license to practice medicine and subjected to other restrictions during his probationary period. Good. Doctors are not licensed as killers.

P.S. In an earlier incident, he was convicted of having sex with a patient. This guy really doesn’t take the Hippocratic Oath seriously which prohibits both euthanasia and sexual congress with patients.
