Update: Husband charged with first degree murder.

Neighbours interviewed on CP24 are shocked. Said they were a nice couple. Guess one never knows what happens behind closed doors.

People act shocked that the doctors facebook and twitter feed painted a picture of being happy.

But in reality the woman had filed for divorce recently...... according to two colleagues.

It irks me that certain articles talk about them being a power couple and prominent doctors as if this could never happen to high profile doctors.

 

[SkyRider]

Apparently, they were both excellent doctors. This is a tragic story all round. The kids will be missing their parents. The patients will be missing their doctors.

Divorces happens all the time and rarely ends in murder. Just goes to show you just never know what happens behind the happy facade.

 

[frankcastle]

Tragic for sure. Especially for the three kids.

While articles say nice things about the doctors...... it is rare that people interviewed would take this time to critique those doctors. But whether they were the greatest or worst you are right..... divorce shouldnt end like this.

Thats the thing with professional doctors, they never have enough time for each other and shit just starts to fall apart. I myself know 4 doctors and all of them are either divorced or re-married.

i know 7 or 8 personally..... most i have known most of my life and they are all married to first spouses for 15 to 20 years.

Maybe things have changed. These doctors have time for their kids hockey and extracurriculars. so perhaps they ard purposely controlling their work schedule.

Also there has been a shift in med school applications where things other than marks are considered.

Two reports from johns hopkins and harvard suggest divorce rates are in the 30s percent range. Overall divorce rate for canada is around 40%.

Apparently, Dr. Mohammed Shamji is a superstar neurosurgeon who is the only specialist in his specialty (connective tissues?) in Canada. One of his patients was scheduled for an operation to-day, she may have to go to the U.S. now.

At this point is just allegations..... but i cant help but wonder if the guy is an arrogant narcicist who went into a rage when his wife took one too many verbal low blows.

I have met doctors at the top of their game who are grounded great guys. I am just trying to imagine what happened. Not out of pleasure but when something crazy happens i try to make sense of it.

I saw her quite a few times at the walk in clinic I go to. She was the smartest and most competent of their staff. Truly tragic news.

 

[SkyRider]

I wonder if he will plead mental illness? (Not sure I would want a mentally ill doctor to operate on me.)

 

[whynot888]

Or maybe jealousy played a factor

 

[onthebottom]

A girl I grew up next door to (a real bitch but hot as hell), was poisoned by her Dr. husband many years ago, he was never charged and doesn't allow her parents to see their 3 children.

Another doctor murderer. Killed his two kids.

This is true. There are plenty of doctors in my social circle and virtually every couple has at least one partner who's working some kind of reduced hours arrangement. The culture has dramatically changed -- it's no longer an onerous profession if they don't want it to be. Surgeons are a different breed though.

I can never get an appointment on a Monday or a Friday. I think they only work 3 day weeks. The AG recently commented about this.

This is true... I have known some very shady doctors in my time,,, I no longer put that career on a pedestal.

Yes, you do hear of the occasional sexual harassment/assault/ molestation stories. One of the doctors I saw at a walk-in was arrested for sexual assault (no, it wasn't me).

Most of them are still very decent people. But there's one guy in my social circle who's a raging alcoholic and should not be seeing patients in that state. The CMPA circles its wagons whenever these dudes make mistakes so it's hard to clear them out, but the nurses know and do talk.

News saying he use to beat her all the time. He wanted his wife to have an abortion because he was worried the kid would ruin his medical career.
