A petition is calling for the reinstatement of a doctor who says he was suspended from his medical residency at the University of Ottawa after posting pro-Palestinian messages on social media.
Earlier this month, Dr. Yoni Freedhoff, an associate professor of family medicine at the University of Ottawa, drew attention to a number of Ge’s posts.
When asked whether Ge was suspended, and for what reason, University of Ottawa spokesperson Jesse Robichaud said that it had received complaints about an alleged breach of professional standards by a medical resident.
Ge confirmed to CBC over social media that he was suspended about two weeks ago, but declined to comment further on the situation, as did his lawyer.
In June 2020, the University of Ottawa featured Ge in an article that celebrated him for turning “passion into action for health and social equity.”
Last month, a nephrologist at Mackenzie Richmond Hill Hospital was suspended after posting pro-Palestinian views on social media.
