Kadri's address to his suspension at the hospital

A local doctor held a press conference Saturday to talk about his suspension from the Windsor Regional Hospital.

Albert Kadri was suspended indefinitely on Friday.

He said that he was targeted by the hospital.

Kadri said that there has been a change in hospital policy leading to limited interaction between patients and their physician. I have targeted with regard to the suspension of my privileges as a result of my opposition to what they do, "he said.

His lawyer, Norm Assiff, goes further." He defended the right of his patients and this has consequences because now he is considered to be the whistleblower. "

Kadri is one of only five nephrologists working at WRH.

L & rsquo; Kadri had been suspended under the direction of the Medical Advisory Committee (MAC).

MAC gave five reasons for the suspension, including the billing of health insurance, even though 39, he was not on call The College of Physicians and Surgeons was also notified of the suspension.

Kadri requested a hearing on his suspension under the Public Hospitals Act

This hearing will begin at the end of October.

The hospital said communicated with all patients and referring physicians and will continue to provide patient care.

"The suspension has no impact on Dr. Kadri's ability to see patients in his private practice," said the hospital in a statement. T.
