According to the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Saskatchewan, Dr. Mehdi Horri is no longer working as a doctor in Estevan. 

"He has had his license revoked," stated St Joseph's Hospital Executive Director, Greg Hoffart. "This suspension isn't from the Health Region or the Hospital, it's from the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Saskatchewan."

Bryan Salte, legal council and Associate Registrar at the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Saskatchewan, explained that the revocation came into effect on Friday when the hearing occurred. 

"If you go on to the website of the Ontario College of Physicians and Surgeons, you'll find the finding of unprofessional conduct in Ontario. All of the events that relate to this occurred in Ontario. They were the ones who took the action and then our college took action based upon what had occurred in Ontario."

Dr. Horri admitted to an inappropriate relationship with a patient too soon after the doctor-patient relationship ended. A disciplinary hearing took place in Ontario on September 26, 2016 and on March 24, 2017, Dr. Horri's was fined and had his medical licence in Ontario revoked. He appealed the decision on April 6, 2017 and was allowed to continue practicing pending that appeal subject to an understanding that he would not see any female patients without a female chaperone. There is no word yet if he is planning to appeal this ruling. 

"Physicians always have a right to apply to the courts for a review of our College's decisions. I have no idea if that's what he intends to do but every physician has a legal right to go to court to ask the court to overturn a college decision."

Mr. Salte added that the college college operates on a principle of transparency for patients and the public.

"We make sure we provide information about what actions we take and why we take them. But in terms of the events that led to the revocation of his license, that's pretty clear and once we have a chance to put this information on our website, it will be there and they can then review it for themselves and see what action we took and why we took that action."

"If you want to look to the facts, again because this is a result of a discipline hearing in Ontario, you may wish to check the Ontario College website, do a search for Dr. Horri's name there. The discipline committee decision out of Ontario is there. It is fully available just like any other court decision might be and would give you all of the facts that our council looked at when they decided that revocation was the appropriate penalty."
