This thread doesn't shock me, but it does make me sad.

The relationship with Pdoc confused and hurt me so much, I ended up consulting with a female psychologist. She hospitalized me. The day I was released I came home and a friend came over. He carried a copy of the local paper saying PerpDoc had been arrested for doing outrageous unlawful things with a young adult female patient.
<<which was not me..it was with someone else...while I was in the hospital! >>
Later I found out I was second of seven women to come forward about this one doctor. I was told that when a psychiatrist offends like this it's usually not just with one patient. There are usually multiple victims.
The legal system was another trauma.
The DA decided to drop the criminal charges due to lack of evidence. Perp doc never went to prison.
The medical board revoked his license in one state, but I searched and found he still had an active license in NY. I contacted them, sent them info about his revocation.....and they revoked his license, too. It makes me angry that the states medical boards don't know what each other is doing...They would have let him practice if I hadn't said anything.
The civil case was long, convoluted and expensive. I had to travel to three or four cities for depositions. I had to pay for my own gas and motel. I was required to attend his deposition. Mine were audio/video taped separately.
Ends up he didn't have malpractice insurance.
I turned him into Medicare and Medicaid. They sanctioned him- they would not let him be a Medicare or Medicaid provider.
I took it as far as I could...legally.
