‘Sadistic’ and ‘disgusting’ doctor sexually abused dozens of patients in New York hospital for years: Lawsuit
The victims in this case are male. I am including this story in my blog because it is a good example of how, even in horrific abuse, medical establishments allegedly fail to protect patients. ‘During this time, [Paduch] acted as a disgusting, sadistic, and perverted sexual predator who used his esteemed and trusted position with [defendants] to sexually groom, exploit, abuse, rape, molest, fondle, sodomize, and commit various acts of physical, verbal, and sexual assault and battery on thousands of patients, including the plaintiffs herein, all under the pretense of providing legitimate, medically necessary, medical care,’ the lawsuit continued. . . “Despite what was apparently going on, Fox News reported…

94 Women Allege a Utah Doctor Sexually Assaulted Them. Here’s Why a Judge Threw Out Their Case.
“Mateer was shocked, she said, when Dr. David Broadbent reached under her gown to grab and squeeze her breasts, started a vaginal exam without warning, then followed it with an extremely painful examination of her rectum. . . “Under Utah’s rules of medical malpractice, claims made by victims who allege a health care worker sexually assaulted them are literally worth less than lawsuits brought by someone who was assaulted in other settings — even if a jury rules in their favor, a judge is required to limit how much money they receive.

Sexual Misconduct
“Examination of the breast or genitals without appropriate consent from a patient or surrogate decision maker qualifies as sexual misconduct under both of these categories. Sexual misconduct may be grounds for disciplinary action, and sexual misconduct that falls under the category of sexual violation also may meet the criteria for criminal prosecution . . . “Physical examinations should be explained appropriately, undertaken only with the patient’s consent, and performed with the minimum amount of physical contact required to obtain data for diagnosis and treatment.

In 2023, Gynecologist, Robert Harden, 64, who sexually abused over 200 patients for over two decades at prestigious New York hospital was sentenced to 20 years in jail.
. . . “Over two decades later, Monson saw a television report in which abuse similar to what she endured was described by Evelyn Yang, whose husband Andrew Yang ran for president in 2020 and New York City mayor in 2022. Yang said Hadden sexually assaulted her years ago when she was seven months pregnant. She also said Columbia had denied knowing about Hadden’s abuse until 2012. Monson said she recalled her 1994 complaint to Columbia and the hospital’s response, and thought: “That’s a total lie and I have the evidence that will prove that’s a total lie.” “Hall praised her, saying: “I honestly think you are the only reason…
