This is ether going to be appealed, or alot of shit going to hit the fan, as doctors could most likely get away with rape now.

I always thought male docs were to have a female nurse with them in surgery and vice versa. And don't docs usually have teams anyway? How did this guy even do what he did?

You're not alone in this making you angry, Plaidman. But I think it's one of those things that you read and say "ha, that won't last long." He'll get his in one way or another.

Shocking and ridiculous ruling.

*Note -
Plaidman, if you haven't already joined www.fratching.com, may I suggest joining and posting these types of stories there?

I notice you do find a lot of the more 'controversial' news stories that seem more suited for that type of board. ~Ree

That's a crock. If it had been the judge's wife, daughter, mother or even himself that had been inappropriately touched he'd be singing a different tune.

I'd want to know so that I'd could do something...painful to the idiot. Would I sue the guy? Maybe, if I'd be allowed to give him a swift kick in the snardlees.

Ignorance might be bliss but how many of his former patients are now wondering if he did this to them?

This opens up a whole nasty can of worms... confidence in doctors out the window.
