Doctor rapes patients and gets a slap on the wrist.

Ok so I will admit, this is a purely pissed off post. This story written by the Chicago Tribune outlines a nasty, demented man who was trusted by women to provide proper care and instead they were sexually assaulted and raped! According to this story, many reports were made against Dr. Smith from numerous women over at least 9 years from 2000 till 2009. The complaints ranged from unwanted touching to full on penetration with his penis! Since when is this kind of behavior acceptable? The answer, it is NEVER acceptable. One would think that this would constitute losing ones license to practice, right? Well apparently they felt it was better to only suspend his license for 9 months. So, because he is a doctor, he can assault and rape women and not only get away with it, but will in the future be allowed to practice again. This man has proved he is unable to control himself and takes advantage of his patients at their most vulnerable time. This makes me physically ill, that not only did they NOT press any charges, but they are actually going to allow him to continue to practice medicine!
