Court orders Toronto plastic surgeon to pay $22.5-million after filming patients without consent

An Ontario Superior Court judge ordered Toronto plastic surgeon 'Dr. 6ix' to pay $22.5 million to 7,000 patients who were filmed in his clinic without consent. The case centers on privacy violations and legal liability in a healthcare setting. The ruling is materially negative for the surgeon and his practice, but likely has limited broader market impact.
