The College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario yesterday approved two rule changes that will make it less likely that patients seeking cosmetic surgery will find themselves in the hands of a general practitioner with no special training in the field.
The rules are a key element in the college's efforts to protect the public, particularly in the field of cosmetic surgery.
"There is actually no such term as cosmetic surgery," CPSO president Preston Zuliani told reporters. "That is a term that has been made up."
The rules come nearly seven months after the death of Krista Stryland, a 32-year-old real-estate agent, after a liposuction procedure performed by a family doctor advertising herself as a cosmetic surgeon.
