She joined a local gym in 2015, where one of the gym trainers later became a complainant. The trainer stated he initially received vitamin therapy from her, which later shifted to physical therapy for muscle recovery.<\/p>\n<p>Court documents reveal that Khulbe \u201cwould do breathing exercises while she had her hands on his genitals,\u201d according to the trainer.<\/p>\n<p>He alleged that the sexual acts included her performing oral sex, kissing, and manual stimulation, adding that he was under the influence of procaine during these incidents.<\/p>\n<p>In 2018, Khulbe left family practice and launched an executive practice offering patients a holistic approach to healthcare. She and the trainer also discussed starting a sports nutrition business together.<\/p>\n<p>Other patients claimed they were administered procaine by Khulbe, who allegedly told them that she loved them. Khulbe has previously described the case as a \u201cwitch hunt\u201d and an extortion tactic, asserting that she had a close relationship with the gym trainer whose statements, she said, \u201chave been weaponized in the case.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Indian-origin physician Suman Khulbe has had her medical licence revoked in Canada after being found guilty of sexual&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":59272,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[275],"tags":[42653,18,135,475,474,19,42649,17,42651,42652,42650],"class_list":{"0":"post-59271","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-healthcare","8":"tag-college-of-physicians-and-surgeons-of-ontario","9":"tag-eire","10":"tag-health","11":"tag-health-care","12":"tag-healthcare","13":"tag-ie","14":"tag-indian-origin-physician","15":"tag-ireland","16":"tag-medical-licence-revoked","17":"tag-sexual-abuse","18":"tag-suman-khulbe"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/59271","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=59271"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/59271\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/59272"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=59271"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=59271"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=59271"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
