sexual exploitation of patients

December 7, 2020 Attorney Kevin Madison Comments Off on Settlement Against North Texas Doctor for Sexual Exploitation of Patient

Settlement Against North Texas Doctor for Sexual Exploitation of Patient

Attorney Kevin R. Madison recently obtained a $75,000 settlement against a Waco area physician for inappropriately hugging his patient and then sending her several lewd text messages with pornographic videos, attached. The doctor was aware of the fact that his patient had anxiety, ADHD, and depression issues and was actually treating her for those mental health issues when he sexually exploited her.  Our law firm was able to settle this case two weeks after our client hired us.

We are honored to represent the unfortunate victims of sexual abuse and sexual exploitation throughout the State of Texas. Since the State Board of Medical Examiners has a poor record of taking action against predatory physicians, we are happy to take the reins!  Please note that the overwhelming majority of physicians are honorable and ethical doctors, as my father was, whose sole interests are to care for and heal their patients.  

For over 15 years I have served as a First Responder Emergency Services Healthcare Provider (volunteer Firefighter/EMT). My wife is a Registered Nurse with over 34 years of service. However, we have an ethical obligation to weed out the few predatory physicians who violate the law and their Hippocratic Oath. The same is true with mental health professionals – therapists, clergy, and rabbis – who violate their position.

We also vigorously pursue claims against attorneys and other professionals (professors, teachers, etc.) who sexually abuse, molest, or harass women.  For over 25 years I have used my training and skills from having served as a police officer, investigator, and Assistant District Attorney to pursue predators who harass, exploit or molest women, men, and children. I do not charge hourly fees or ask for a retainer. All of our contracts are based on a percentage contingency fee. I am paid only if I obtain a settlement for my client. My fee is based on a percentage of the recovery. Therefore, there is no risk for my clients.

I would be honored to review your case and, of course, there is no charge for a telephone or Facetime consultation nor is there any legal obligation to hire me. Most cases are settled without a lawsuit having to be filed.

Call (512) 708-1650 or email me at kevin@kevinmadison.com for a free consultation. All reviews are held in the strictest confidence.  Female nurse on staff for clients who may prefer to speak to a woman.

Medical Boards Seeing an Increase in Disciplining Physicians for Online Sexually Inappropriate Behavior

Medical Boards Discipline Physicians for Online Behavior

Medical licensing boards are beginning to see complaints about unprofessional online behavior by physicians, and many of these complaints resulted in serious disciplinary actions, including license revocation, according to a research letter published in the March 21 issue of JAMA. Dr. Ryan Greysen, MD, Division of Hospital Medicine at The University of California, San Francisco, and his colleagues report that 48 of the 68 executive directors of medical licensing boards responded to the study survey. Of those 48 Medical Ethics Boards who responded, 44 (98%) indicated receiving at least 1 complaint about an online professional breach. The most common complaints reported inappropriate communication with a patient, such as sexual misconduct, which was reported to 33 of the 48 boards who responded.

“We’ve just found a new way to violate our own standards,” Jason Jent, PhD, assistant professor of clinical pediatrics, Division of Clinical Psychology, Department of Pediatrics, University of Miami Miller School of Medicine, Florida, said to Medscape Medical News. Dr. Jent, who has published about physician online behavior, has no association with the JAMA letter. “Some of the violations we’ve seen in face-to-face communication, or over the phone, or by mail have now extended to online behavior. This is something we have to pay attention to,” he added. The study authors say much the same: “Furthermore, these violations also may be important online manifestations of serious and common violations offline, including substance abuse, sexual misconduct, and abuse of prescription privileges.”  Dr. Jent said that these violations may actually be underreported. “People come across these, and it’s so new they’re not sure they should report it,” he said. “Or, on the flip side, are we seeing an increasing prevalence of online professional violations that may call for more specific training for online behaviors?”
