An Ontario doctor, barred from prescribing ivermectin to treat COVID-19, has launched a telehealth service offering the unapproved treatment. A Global News investigation has uncovered that he is exploiting a loophole, and experts say it shows the cracks in a system that's supposed to protect patients.
Family Doctor Patrick Phillips' medical licence has been restricted since the fall. As part of his suspension, the northern Ontario physican is not allowed to prescribe ivermectin for COVID. But Global News has learned the doctor is now a director of a new provincial telehealth service, Canadian Covid Teleheath inc, offering the antiparasitic drug. Jamie Mauracher reports.
