Thank you for this further report ...Dear Anonymous<br /><br />Thank you for this further report on your sister's situation. From what you describe it sounds as if the plastic surgeon received a severe, but fair, disciplinary response from his state medical board. But I am sorry to hear how much suffering your sister is experiencing. Unfortunately, the kind of harm she has received from the sexual/romantic relationship with her physician is not infrequent. The risk that a sexual/romantic relationship will cause that kind of harm is one of the two primary reasons that the medical profession correctly regards relationships of this kind as an unethical betrayal of professional responsibility. (The other reason is that even if the relationship causes no harm to the patient it contributes to loss of trust in the medical profession.)<br /><br />Your sister is lucky to have a sister who is so concerned about her and so supportive!<br /><br />Best<br /><br />JimJim Sabinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03087828142188534542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7476621888383604834.post-74649225873573057092013-03-11T09:25:10.920-04:002013-03-11T09:25:10.920-04:00Jim,
On december 21, 2012 I started a discussion ...Jim,<br /><br />On december 21, 2012 I started a discussion with regards to my sister having sex with her plastic surgeon. Three events have transpired since then. The plastic surgeon was found guilty of patient abuse and morally unfit to pratice medicine. He received a $10,000 fine and 3 years loss of his medical license. He was held to the same standard as a psychiatist. as far as my sister, her husband has filed for divorce and she has had a breakdown that requires in-patienet care. We are all standing bye her, but I believe she is going to have a long road to travel. Her business is suffering and will probably fail since it is directly built around her talents. The doctor will be able to return to pratice, but my sister has lost more than a license.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
