Oregon doctor jailed for billing for sex

[CShine]

PORTLAND, Oregon - An Oregon doctor, who had sex with a patient and then charged the state about $5,000 for his “treatments,” has been jailed for 60 days and stripped of his license, officials said on Friday.

Dr. Randall J. Smith, 50, told the woman that massaging her "trigger points" would ease her pelvic pain. The treatments led to sexual intercourse and Smith billed the Oregon Health Plan for the 45-minute sessions at the Adventist Health Medical Group clinic in Gresham, Ore., near Portland.

Never seemed to at the bar...

7. LOL

"never seemed to at the bar" -- that's funny! :)

[enough]

8. Was it the treatment that was wrong ....

or charging for it?

9. This reminds me of that Virginia fertility clinic where

all the kids came out looking the guy who ran the clinic. He told these women that the semen came from scientists but he was just jerking off into petri dishes.

18. I always that that case (from VA if I recall) was interesting--if the guy

had looked like Brad Pitt instead of a middle aged shlub he still would've been wrong but I bet there wouldn't have been a tenth the outrage.

10. doctor!doctor! give me the news

Ah it must have been written as "for services rendered". But is it covered by Blue Cross?

[hightime]

11. The real question is, did the bastard charge her a co-pay.

[PurityOfEssence]

12. Reminds me of one of the funniest jokes ever

Woman: Doctor, Doctor...kiss me!

Doctor: I'm afraid I can't.

Woman: But please Doctor, please! Why can't you? Please!

Doctor: I...just can't; it would be against my professional ethics. In fact, I shouldn't even be fucking you right now.

17. ROFLMAO

aaaahhhhhhhhhh

[maggrwaggr]

13. doctors in the victorian era actually performed a similar service

they would manually stimulate the women to orgasm to induce relief from "hysteria".

No joke.

15. One of Hamilton Beach's first products....

Was an electric vibrator, to "relieve Doctors of the drudgery of Hysteria treatments..." and they CHARGED for it back then! Boy, like we've come a long wqay or wahat?

So you thought Frank Zappa invented the line "I poked and I stroked till my wrist got numb, but I still didn't hear no Dynamo Hum...."

From 1902...

[maggrwaggr]

16. wow, and hear I thought nobody would believe my post

you've even provided photographic evidence that advances the story further

[LiberalFighter]

21. That thing looks dangerous

[TahitiNut]

25. That's what she said.

:rimshot: (I'll be here all week, folks.)

[BiggJawn]

27. Yes, no 3-wire plug or GFI...

Shocking!

[TahitiNut]

24. Then they fed them Graham Crackers.

:shrug:

14. Ph-D

Prostitute-ho Doctor?

19. "Is it really necessary for me to be on all 4's for this exam?"

"Who's the doctor here?"

[LiberalFighter]

22. What do you mean on all 4's?

That's what the stirrups are for.

[testing123]

20. What kind of a Doctor is he?

I didn't know that was one of the courses that they were teaching in med school these days.

[SupportRapeVictims]

23. What a horrible, horrible man

n/t

[TahitiNut]

26. After $5,000 in billings, seems the patient didn't mind the "treatments"

... as much as the insurance company minded the billings. $5,000 sure as hell wasn't for just a couple of sessions; more like 10-20 times, I'd say. :shrug:


I'd also say it gives a whole new meaning to "in-patient services."

[maggrwaggr]

28. "Don't worry. You'll only feel a little prick."

sorry, couldn't resist
