Sydney Doctor Files Suit After Licence Suspension Over Allegations
Imagine a doctor, like a helper for your body, was accused of doing things that made a patient uncomfortable.
This doctor, Dr. Balasingham, is in Sydney, Australia.
A woman went to see him because she wasn't feeling well.
The doctor allegedly asked personal questions and performed a vaginal exam without permission.
Because of this, a special group decided he couldn't be a doctor for three years.
Dr. Balasingham denies everything and says the accusations are false, and he's seeking compensation.
Dr. Mohanadas Balasingham, an Indian-origin doctor, had his medical license suspended in Sydney for three years.
The suspension followed allegations of inappropriate questions and an unauthorized vaginal exam.
Balasingham denies all allegations and has filed a AUD 20-million counter-claim.
The woman visited Balasingham's clinic in September 2020 and later complained to the Health Care Complaints Commission.
Balasingham was found guilty of both unsatisfactory professional conduct and professional misconduct.
