Doctor facing racism complaints no longer licensed to practise medicine in N.L. Zachary Kuehner's medical licence was deactivated on June 10

(CBC) The doctor at the centre of racism and bigotry complaints can no longer practise medicine in Newfoundland and Labrador.

According to the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Newfoundland and Labrador, Dr. Zachary Kuehner’s licence was no longer active as of June 10 — one day after CBC News published a story detailing complaints against the second-year medical resident.
