The Parry Sound hospital is investigating its chief of surgery over allegations from six nurses of lewd, bullying behaviour and making crude, sexual gestures with a toe he amputated from a patient. In a statement Wednesday in response to detailed questions from the Star, hospital CEO Donald Sanderson said a probe is underway. Smyth joined the medical team in Parry Sound as an orthopedic surgeon in 2009, and was appointed chief of surgery in 2015. Perhaps the oddest allegation in Parry Sound deals with what happened during a recent operation to remove a man’s toe. The motorcycle-driving surgeon has become a well-known figure in Parry Sound.
