In March of this year, Dr. Ramesh Sharma pleaded guilty to attempted assisted suicide and is no longer allowed to practice medicine.Petition organizer and a patient, Surry Massoud says, patients came from all over the Okanagan to sign the petition.Massoud says, the petition has been sent to the BC College of Physicians and the presiding judge for consideration. Dr. Sharma will be in court on June 11th to receive his sentencing for the matter. Susan Prins with the BC college of Physicians says, a petition could possibly carry weight when the board makes a ruling on whether Dr. Sharma can return to his practice.
