The University of Calgary and Alberta Health Services quietly fired a surgical resident in 2012 after he admitted to planting a hidden camera in a unisex public washroom at Foothills Medical Centre.
But the Calgary Police Service now admits the Crown declined to lay charges against Hisham Sultan, the young surgeon in training, because one of its constables botched the investigation
....
Sultan's residency was terminated.
The female employee found on the camera's recording was notified of the incident.
Sultan appealed his termination and was initially supported by the Professional Association of Resident Physicians of Alberta. The association later withdrew its support and Sultan's grievance was ultimately denied.
Sultan declined repeated interview requests over the past three weeks. In a phone conversation, he said he now works in a Calgary fast-food business. He said he and his wife, who have a newborn baby, are struggling financially.
He said he has unsuccessfully tried to get a "clinical observership" in a hospital, which would be a first step to possibly regaining entry to a residency.
"Do you understand how this (story) could potentially prevent me from working here again in the medical field?" Sultan said. "Right now I am struggling to do other observerships, get back into the clinical scene, and this will do nothing for me.
"I have been struggling with this for four years now and you have no idea what I have gone through," said Sultan. He did not respond to a CBC News email query in which he was asked if he had sought professional counselling as part of any attempt to salvage his career.

The resident confesses and gets fired. CPS botches the investigation and no charges are laid. The resident has trouble finding a spot to continue his residency and feels sorry for himself. Not a bad outcome considering the cops botched the investigation. This guy really threw it all away. Im sure he must love all the questions from friends and family he hasnt seen in a while about how his career as a doc is going.
