Two married doctors trained in South Africa have lost their licences to practise medicine in B.C. — and approximately 1,200 former patients are being advised to seek medical advice from other doctors.
In 2011, Dr. Rosemarie Cambridge, 42 and Dr. Sean Cambridge, 50 — who was one of the top-billing doctors in the province for four years — were given provisional licences to practice family medicine in Chilliwack, because it was an under-serviced area.
But they repeatedly failed their qualifying exams.
Some former patients now want to know if they received proper diagnoses in the six years the Cambridges practised at the Valley Family Practice in Chilliwack, about 120 kilometres east of Vancouver.
However, the doctor shortage could make it very hard to get a second opinion....
CBC News has learned that after passing their initial evaluating exam, the couple repeatedly failed their crucial qualifying exams. Rosemarie Cambridge failed four times in six years,. Her husband, Sean Cambridge, failed five times in the same period.

The opportunity to take advantage of Canadian generosty has never been so starkly illustrated than in this story.
Reminds me of the old joke:
What do you call the person that graduated at the bottom of his class in Medical School?
DOCTOR.........................
“I think that what you have is Grmblsrfnrt.”
“What the heck is that?”
“Did you go to medical school? Well, neither did I, but I’ve got to write down something on this form where it says ‘Diagnosis’.”
“With a nick nack Chilliwack, give the patient a pill,
This old Doctor goes rolling home!.....in a Mercedes.”
Chilliwack...I remember that band.
“...have lost their licences to practise medicine in B.C.”
I didn’t think doctors had to worry about licencing until well into the AD.
Truck drivers would never be allowed on the road if they failed the required tests, he said.
“People that come from other countries ... still have to qualify immediately before getting behind the wheel of a truck. So it should apply to everybody — doctors, lawyers, everybody,” he said.
“It’s public safety.”
Gone gone gone she been gone so long.....
Any bets on how long until charges of racism hit the press?
They must be mental midgets!
Well, how did the 1200 patients fare? Any die because of this? If not, why not?
I think they were already high and dry, they just didn’t know it.
