A former Trail doctor who left behind criminal charges in Trail has resurfaced in Winnipeg—albeit with a similar result. Dr. Randy Raymond Allan pleaded guilty to professional misconduct charges at a Sept. 11 College of Physicians and Surgeons of Manitoba inquiry, convicted of trading OxyContin prescriptions for sex, according to an article last week in the Winnipeg Free Press.
Allan was suspended for 18 months by the college. In 1994, Allan was charged with five criminal counts relating to a certificate obtained in the name of an infant who died in 1961. At the time he was working as a pathologist in Trail, had been vicepresident of Trail Regional Hospital medical staff and was part owner of the Medical Associates Clinic laboratory. He was granted leave of absence at the time.
