Former Ontario physician Dr. Patrick Phillips entered a plea of no contest in his case with the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario (CPSO). .“As a result, I was convicted of multiple counts of professional misconduct, was declared incompetent, and my medical licence was revoked,” said Phillips in a Wednesday tweet. .The CPSO ordered he appear before a panel to be reprimanded, the registrar revoke his licence, and costs of $6,000 which he has to pay by July 6. .Phillips started to be investigated in 2021 after going public about seeing his patients suffering harms from lockdowns, including those with advanced cancer walking into emergency rooms. .READ MORE: SLOBODIAN: Docs who speak out about COVID facing brutal suppression.“I’ve never seen so many suicidal children,” he said. .He said there is “something bigger than my medical career at this point because lives are being lost and we need to speak out.”.Phillips and Ontario physicians Dr. Crystal Luchkiw and Dr. Mark Trozzi were ordered to go to disciplinary hearings in January after failing to prove the CPSO should not have investigated them. .READ MORE: Ontario doctors critical of COVID restrictions lose case to have disciplinary hearings dropped.“We will be seeking a review of the college motion decision because the hearing panel simply refused to address our key submission, which was the registrar, Dr. Nancy Whitmore, did not have reasonable and probable grounds to order investigations of the doctors,” said the doctors’ lawyer Michael Alexander. .“Also, the panel ignored our submission the college failed to establish the doctors had violated a standard of practice.” .While it seems to crazy to say, Phillips said he's been filled with peace, forgiveness, and gratitude from this experience. He holds no ill will towards the Ontario government or CPSO. .The former physician went on to say this shows how much he changed his perspective over the last year. Through countless hours of meditation and sitting with the pain and misery, he said “the light on the other side grows brighter and brighter.”.While he has been exploring this inward path, Phillips said he has been fighting the legal one of trying to find justice to change the world and organizations such as the CPSO. Needless to say, the latter course was met with consistent failures and no peace..Phillips continued by saying he realized people cannot have true peace in their hearts when they put their trust in material or worldly items. As long as he believed in his medical licence, job, or institutions such as courts would keep him safe, he would never be. .He called true safety “realizing we are actually spiritual beings who are dreaming a separate, miserable, human bodily existence.”.Many people have asked Phillips what he is going to do for work now. He does not know, but says he has hope for the future..“You don't always feel it when disaster hits, but, like riding a bike, you learn to bring yourself back to the truth that we are always safe.”
