The expulsion meant she couldn’t practise medicine in Canada, but a CBC News investigation found Kehar moved to British Columbia and started an electrical muscle stimulation company — and called herself an MD.
In July 2022, Labine won a default judgment against Kehar in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice but hasn’t received a penny back.
Kehar was investigated by the University of Manitoba for altering emails and faking a serious illness to get her medical colleagues to lend her a substantial amount of money.
She also acknowledged that she lied to two of her medical colleagues about her personal circumstances and health to garner support, and that they had loaned her “substantial sums of money in response to requests from her for assistance on multiple occasions.”
A competing business lodged a complaint against Prestige with the Fraser Health Authority, raising concerns that Kehar was representing herself as a doctor, Judge said.
The College of Physicians and Surgeons of British Columbia says individuals who obtain a medical degree are allowed to call themselves doctor or indicate they have an MD, even if they are not actively practising medicine.
