A doctor in northern Saskatchewan is facing eleven charges of unprofessional conduct alleging sex with a number of patients.The College of Physicians and Surgeons of Saskatchewan says the charges were brought against Dr. Josias Furstenberg.
Furstenberg prescribed large quantities of opioids over a long period of time to a patient he was having sex with and failed to properly deal with the patient’s drug dependency.
He is also accused of attempting to kiss a patient who was a tenant in one of his rental properties and who had come to his home to pay the rent. Another charge alleges Furstenberg accessed the health information of a person thought the Saskatchewan eHealth computer system without the consent of that person.
The charges against Dr. Furstenberg are disciplinary, not criminal, and none of them have been proven.
