The Supreme Court of Poland partially upheld the National Medical Council's decision against Dr. Henryk S., reducing his suspended license from three to two years. The court found the doctor guilty of violating the Medical Code of Ethics by using his title in an unlicensed bioenergetic therapy company. Although the court rejected the argument that the doctor's cooperation with unlicensed practitioners violated the code, it confirmed that using his medical title for commercial purposes in such a business was unethical.
