Stanley Gore, 56, told the hearing before the Ontario College of Physician and Surgeons that high blood pressure and stress are causing him to forget details of his job and possibly misstate evidence. "I'm honestly getting confused and I'm terrified of it," he told the hearing.

Dr. Gore said if he made mistakes in verifying information on the 24,212 prescriptions that he handled, other Canadian doctors should have followed up because that wasn't his job.
