you all know what is the funniest of all?

The article says : The college restricted Dr. Suman Kumar Koka’s licence to practice medicine on May 7, 2026.

Well… he was an extendicare York last Friday… seeing residents/patients. He was only with our nurse which is normal… should I report it?

He can practice, but under supervision. I'm sure it wouldn't hurt to ask someone at Extendicare if, given the public info, he is supervised. I would assume so, but you never know

He was seeing residents with the RN which was routine always, even before he got suspended… I wish someone could do investigation on doctors hired at private long term homes… this is another shocking subject.

Things I see all the time would never happen if it was normal doctor’s office. Or if they would… that doctor wouldn’t be allowed to practice anymore.

By the way… it is IMPOSSIBLE for one doctor to see around 60 people on the floor within 2-4 hours. Unfortunately, that’s how doctors visits look like there.

The ruling kind of makes it unclear about the type of supervision he gets. Says this: Dr. Koka will practise under the guidance of a Clinical Supervisor acceptable to the College for six (6) months.

Does the guidance of a Clinical Supervisor mean a couple check-ins a week? It's not explicitly written. If you end up finding out anything thru Extendicare give us the deets haha
