California is rated at #19...which doesn't seem too bad. But my assault and exploitation perpetrated by a psychiatrist occurred in an extremely poor and isolated area. If you didn't have a car, you had to use whatever limited medical or mental health help available...or not use it at all. Interestingly, there was another case of a different psychiatrist having sex with his female patients just 20 minutes away in another small isolated town...happening near the same time.

Now, looking back, I understand if you wanted quality mental health care you had to traverse mountain passes, deserts and long stretches of interstate highways. The poorer people had no choice, really.

I think that many times, the medical community refers around their unethical colleagues. If these unethical professionals want to treat clients they must move to remote, isolated and under-served areas. Apparently, we wound up with more # than our share of these a$$holes.
