Doctor sued over sex treatment for back pain

[photoshopfreak]

SEATTLE - An Oregon woman whose doctor convinced her that he could cure her lower back pain by having sex with her is suing him and his medical clinic for $4 million, according to legal documents obtained Monday.

The doctor, Randall Smith, who was 50 at the time, was stripped of his license and sent to jail for 60 days last year for charging the state’s Oregon Health Plan $5,000 for his 45-minute “treatments” involving the woman.

“Dr. Smith’s medical treatment included intercourse in which he told plaintiff was needed to help alleviate plaintiff’s lower back and lower extremity pain,” the former patient said in the lawsuit.

Agreed. The news gets dumber/stranger every day.

You really have to be stupid to agree to that sort of treatment. Of course then she could just be smart, and the plan all along was to sue.

"Though he pleaded guilty to submitting false health care claims, a felony, Smith maintained the sex with the 47-year-old woman was consensual."

The fact that there were multiple treatments over an extended time period shoot holes in the woman's story for me. I could almost believe a once time occurance happening against a confused patient, but for her to return again for the same treatment is just silly. Did she never bother to research it or mention it to family or friends after the first time?

It was a bad idea for the Doc to get greedy and submit papers to the health insurance claiming treatment. No doubt thats where this woman got the idea to run with this lawsuit. (Doc was claming visits as treatment) But unless she's mentally disabled, there's no way it wasn't consensual.
