藤兒點評：在Dr.John Pariag的潛意識中，可能已經無法找到他自己為了成為一名救死扶傷的白衣天使時，曾經作出的莊嚴宣誓——希波克拉底誓言。Dr.John Pariag給病人及其家人造成的巨大痛苦和傷害，讓古代希臘北邊馬其頓王國的御醫、歐洲醫學奠基人——希波克拉底，也無顏再見江東父老。

希波克拉底是公元前5～公元前4世紀著名的希臘醫生。以他的名字命名的希波克拉底誓言，已經沿用的2000多年，被視為一名醫生的行為規範。如今，在很多國家，每一位醫學生完成了自己的學業之後，必須按照希波克拉底誓言進行莊嚴的宣誓，才能正式成為一名執業醫師。希波克拉底誓言對人類醫學事業的影響相當深遠。

希波克拉底誓言的原文為希臘語。後來被翻譯成了英文（分經典版、現代版、普通版）。除了英文之外，還相繼被後人翻譯成其他的不同的文字。希波克拉底誓言的中文版最早是文言文。現將中文白話譯文摘錄如下：

Incompetent surgeon must inform patients of his misconduct

·        An incompetent Mississauga surgeon, who has admitted to professional misconduct and been prevented from operating, will have to make patients sign a written waiver acknowledging his past transgressions if he is to continue seeing patients at all.

·        The discipline committee of the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario read the preliminary ruling Monday, but may still alter it in a final decision expected within two weeks.

·        Dr. John K. Pariag admitted to 22 cases of professional misconduct and incompetence earlier this year including unnecessarily removing healthy appendixes three times, removing a thyroid even though he had not been trained to do so and botching a bowel operation that led to a patient’s death.

·        The additional condition imposed on Pariag is embarrassing and serves no purpose, his lawyer Paul Millican said.

·        Pariag had already accepted a plea bargain that would allow him to continue receiving patients, though he is not allowed to perform any major surgery or work in a hospital, except as a surgical assistant.

·        Unlike in criminal court, a plea bargain made with the College, which supervises all doctors in Ontario, isn’t binding. The discipline committee may add or take away from the agreed-upon penalty, Millican said.

·        Dr. Pamela Chart, who chaired the five-person decision panel, said that in addition to his surgery restrictions, Pariag should have to inform all patients at the Mississauga Walk-In Clinic where he works of the limitations on his practice in writing.

·        Patients would have to sign the form before being seen by the doctor and this form would have to be kept permanently with the patient’s medical chart, she said.

·        “This is not the first time the committee has ordered a doctor to notify patients of their practice restrictions,” said College spokesperson Kathryn Clarke.

·        All restrictions on Ontario doctors are posted on the College’s website.

·        Pariag’s lawyer said making patients sign a form detailing what he is not allowed to do would force Pariag out of work because his clinic would not allow it.

·        “Dr Pariag has good skills and good judgment in spite of the mistakes he’s made,” Millican said.

·        The College has kept secret the full details of Pariag’s misconduct, despite repeated requests by the Star.

·        Millican complained that disclosure would “be prejudicial to Dr. Pariag and without benefit.”

·        Regardless of his admission of guilt, it is unclear where and when the 22 cases of misconduct occurred.

·        Pariag received his medical degree in 1978 from the University of the West Indies in Trinidad. In the 1990s, he trained as a general surgeon in Jamaica.

·        He worked as a surgical assistant in Newfoundland in 2003 and 2004 before receiving additional surgical training at the University of Western Ontario from 2004 to 2006.

·        Later, he was posted at Temiskaming Hospital in New Liskeard, Ont., where his professional misconduct first came to light. His privileges there were suspended in April 2009 and he has not performed major surgery since.

·        Pariag was also ordered to pay $3,650 to reimburse the College for the cost of the proceeding against him.
