The National Council of the Order of Physicians appeals to the 3rd of December in Pr Didier Raoult for promoting Hydroxychloroquine as the treatment of COVID-19, said the board on Friday in a statement. This call is made “at least”, said the Cnom. This means that he asks for the worsening of the penalty, or that it remains at least the same.
The blame is the second sanction in importance after the simple warning and before the prohibition of exercising or even radiation. It had been inflicted at PR Raoul at first instance by the Disciplinary Chamber of the Order of Physicians of New Aquitaine. The disciplinary proceedings of the doctors’ order are independent of the National Council.
This Chamber had reproached RAOUUOUL for providing “information that did not rely on any confirmed data” promoting hydroxychloroquine as a treatment for COVID-19, according to the text of the decision. On the other hand, it had not retained the charges of “charlatanism” and “unjustified risk” for prescribing this treatment to patients despite his lack of proven effect.
Director of the Hospital-University Institute in Infectious Diseases (IHU Mediterranean Infection) of Marseille, Prof. Raoult was continued by the order of doctors of Bouches-du-Rhône, then by the Cnom. They replaced him for breaking several articles of the code of medical ethics by promoting and prescribing a treatment based on hydroxychloroquine against CVIV-19 despite its lack of proven effect. The hearing had been shifted in Bordeaux.
“A new process of insufficiently proven treatment”
“Professor Raoult has, through different media, and in particular his own chain within the Youtube media, given information that did not rely on any confirmed data, without the necessary caution when existed Very rapidly deep uncertainties on appropriate treatments at CVIV-19, “had judged the disciplinary chamber in its decision.
She had considered that Didier Raoult had infringed article 12 of the Code of Ethics, which obliges doctors to communicate with “CAUTION” to the general public and on the basis of “scientific” data “confirmed”. The Chamber had also felt that Didier Raoult had “disclosed in medical circles a new process of insufficiently proven treatment” without the “reserves needed”.
Didier Raoult also “missed his duty of good confraternity” by speaking “in a little correct way, discourteoise, even aggressive” against other doctors, had added the room. In the wake, Prof. Prof. Raoult, M e Fabrice di Vizio, had felt that this “tap on the fingers” was “a victory” for his client.
Specialist Recognized Tropical Diseases, Didier Raoult saw his flawed image in the global scientific community by his position on CVIV-19, which earned him to become the muse of “antisystem”.
