The first accusation of sexual impropriety refers to an accident of 1 November 2018 with a 19 -year -old patient who came to the clinic to request a disease note, according to the committee’s decision. It was the first time that the patient saw Izekor.

The patient, who witnessed the disciplinary hearing, said while examining it, said: “Are you sure you are sick? You are fine”, in what the decision says was “a penetting way”.

He also asked if he could call her to plan a follow-up appointment and asked for his personal number, which he later called from his personal phone.

In an answer to his complaint, Izekor said that although he did not believe that the patient was sick, he did not record him in his registers, according to the decision.

However, he said after a “far and backwards,” he agreed to give her a sick note because she was “very brazen”, says the decision.

“Shocked”, “shameful”: 16 -year -old patient

The patient says that Izekor told her that he could get the results of the blood tests from his home if he wanted. He also says that during his appointment, he asked for his personal phone number, which he then called from his personal number.

The patient described herself “shocked”, “shameful” and “frightened” before leaving the doctor’s office, according to the decision.

In his testimony, Izekor said that his questions to the patient were “necessary from a medical point of view to determine the cause of his jaundice, including questions about sexual activity and drug use”.

He said he had to ask for information on his sexual activity and the use of drugs because HIV, hepatitis B or hepatitis C was possible could have been the cause of his condition.

However, the patient said that Izekor did not discuss with her, nor did he discussed his diagnosis of jaundice or his possible causes.

Izekor also denied having asked her to go out for dinner, he suggested that he could receive test results at his home, he told her that “boys have needs” or have made sexual movements with his hips, according to the decision.

● Stop three times: employee

The third accusation against Izekor came from a former employee who declared that he had worked at the Avonhurst and Northgate clinics as a medical receptionist from 2017 to 2018.

He said: “Or before or after”, he started his work at the clinics and Izekor invited her to discuss work at his home.

He testified that he showed her around the house and sentenced her to her basement, where they sat on a sofa to speak, according to the decision.

Izekor told his men that his age did not know how to take care of women and who needed an older man, “says the decision.

Then she touched her leg and led her to a basement bedroom, where she committed to sexual relations with her despite her protests, she says.

He said later, he handed her the money and said, saying something similar to “you helped me and I will help you”, according to the decision.

Izekor has made progress towards her in the clinic, including inviting her to her office for a “meeting”, where she would proceed to touch her inappropriately and try to embrace and kiss her, says the decision.

He also watched her from a surveillance camera on his workstation and commented how it appeared, he says.

The employee said that his mental and physical health deteriorated after he started working for Izekor, including weight loss, hair loss and stomach problems.

When he spoke with Izekor of his mental health after calling a sick day, he provided her a prescription for depression and anxiety, despite not being his doctor or leading an adequate medical examination, says the decision.

He tried to stop three times, he says the decision. The first two convinced him to return. The third time, he asked them to go to lunch to discuss work.

During lunch, Izekor continued his sexual progress, so he did not return to work for the clinic, according to the decision.
