WINDSOR, Ont. - A doctor who performed mistaken mastectomies at a southwestern Ontario hospital has had her privileges restored.
A panel heard arguments from Dr. Barbara Heartwell's legal team as well as arguments from the medical advisory committee from the Hotel-Dieu Grace Hospital.
The hearing took nearly six hours and was closed to the public.
The panel gave its decision Thursday afternoon, restoring Heartwell's privileges.
Heartwell voluntarily withdrew her surgical privileges on Feb. 23 after a second report of mistaken mastectomies came forward.
Three days later she withdrew her voluntary agreement.
