A class action lawsuit has been filed against a prominent Toronto doctor by patients who allege he injected a banned substance into their faces for cosmetic purposes. The doctor had already been investigated for more than three years for using the liquid silicone, a product not authorized for use in Canada.
Some patients say they are now suffering health problems and think the liquid silicone may be to blame. One of those patients is Anna Barbiero. She says her Toronto dermatologist told her he was using liquid silicone to smooth out wrinkles. What she says he didn’t tell her is that it isn’t approved for use in Canada. "I didn’t know what liquid silicone was and he just called it ’liquid gold’," Barbiero remembers. After her last treatment, Anna discovered Dr. Sheldon Pollack had been ordered to stop using the silicone two years earlier by Health Canada. Experts say silicone can migrate through the body, and cause inflammation and deformities.
"My upper lip is always numb and it bums." Barbiero says. Barbiero is spearheading (带头) a lawsuit against the doctor, who her lawyer thinks might involve up to 100 patients injected with the same material. "The fact, a physician of his stature would use an unauthorized product on a patient because he thought it was okay, is really very disturbing." says lawyer Douglas Elliott.
Ontario’s College of Physicians and Surgeons is also investigating Dr. Pollack to see if, in fact, he continued to use the silicone after agreeing to stop and whether he wrote in patient records that he used another legal product when he used silicone. However, in a letter to the College, Dr. Pollack wrote that he had always told patients that the silicone was not approved for sale in Canada, and had warned them of the risks. And in Barbiero’s case, "...at the time of her first visit, prior to her ever receiving IGLS treatment, I specifically informed her that the material was not approved for sale in Canada by tile Health Protection Branch and that I did receive the material from outside the country...I would like to emphasize that, as is evident on Ms. Barbiero’s chart, I drew a specific diagram on the chart which I carefully discussed with and explained to Ms. Barbiero as I did with every other patient to explain the nature and likelihood of complications and the reasons and consequences of those possible complications."
Dr. Pollack declined to speak to CTV News, or to have his lawyer discuss the case. None of the allegations have been proven in court. But the case raises questions about the ability of governing bodies to monitor doctors. "There’s a larger message and that is: buyer beware," says Nancy Neilsen of Cosmetic Surgery Canada, "It’s incumbent (负有义务的) on consumers to do their research."
The investigation of Ontario’s College of Physicians and Surgeons is to find ______.
选项
A、whether he still has illegal treatment on his patients
B、how many patients have been abused
C、if he told his patients about the risk
D、how much money he got from his illegal treatment
答案
A
解析
细节题。文章第四段第一句指出,安大略医学院正在调查Dr.Pollack,以便弄清他在同意停用液体硅胶后是否还在继续使用,以及他是否在使用硅胶的同时在患者的病历上写上另一种合法产品的名称,所以A正确。
