The Quebec College of Physicians' disciplinary committee has confirmed the one month suspension of a Montreal doctor for having botched 31 circumcisions.
Dr. Raymond Rezaie was also fined $20,000 and is no longer allowed to perform circumcisions.
The doctor pleaded guilty to the infractions in December. The comittee decided to follow the recommendations on sanctions by lawyers for both parties.
The operations resulted in "significant complications" that needed new surgery to correct the damage.
