新州医生涉嫌性侵女病人 起诉后仍有行医资格
2010年10月11日 悉尼晨锋报
一名67岁外科男医生向前来进行丰胸手术的病人表示,自己手头上有手术需要的植入物质,只要她同意与自己发生性关系,他便为其进行整形手术,并且帮她付清手术款项。近日,该男子因此事面临指控。
据悉,该医生名叫Chris Howe,是纽卡斯尔医学界的一名官员,在当地有一名声誉。十八年前,他致力于查处医生渎职以及徇私等行为,最终居然导致了国家卫生部门不得不将Hunter地区的卫生服务中心解散,原因是该中心无法对超支的五百万美元作出解释。
但是如今,新南威尔士医学特别法庭宣布他在行医过程中与女病人存在不正当关系,因此现在每次他在病房中检查女病人身体时,都会有监督人在场。
据了解,在一次诊治过程中,他竟然向女病人展示自己的阳物,法庭随即确认了该桉件,并在一个月后作出了此规定。
上月晚些时候审理委员会对此案进行了相关审讯,指出, Howe医生曾在2006年的八个月时间里,私自前往一名47岁女病人家里,并送给女病人礼物,与其共进晚餐,两人还两度进行海外旅行。据悉,该女子现在的五个孩子中就有一个是 Howe医生的。
该女子表示,自己之前曾在 Howe医生那里看病,由此两人的关系发展了起来。该女子手术后三个星期,他自掏腰包为女病人租了一辆车子。
在法庭上,该女子称自己是为了病情才故意接近医生的,因为每次只要自己愿意在 Howe家里过夜,问题就可以解决。她还透露出,有时 Howe医生会抓住自己的乳房发泄感情,还说“它们是我的,我拥有它们。”
该女子事后向警方报警,但是此案并没有审判,因为 Howe医生表示,自己的园丁可以证明当天什么事情都没有发生。他完全拒绝承认自己曾对其进行性侵犯。
但是反对党卫生部门发言人 Jillian Skinner表示,医生涉嫌对女病人心境性侵犯,审讯的结果也只是派出监督人员在现场进行看管,这是对医生和病人关系的莫大讽刺。
然而澳洲医疗委员会主席Andrew Pesce对此表示反对,称审理委员会是在一系列调查之后对医生们的行为表示信任的,这也表明了对整个社会的信任。

Doctor on register despite sex allegations
October 11, 2010
A plastic surgeon who allegedly told a patient he ''owned'' her breast implants and would continue paying off her car if she had sex with him, has avoided being struck off the medical register.
Chris Howe, a visiting medical officer in Newcastle, is no stranger to the limelight. He played an instrumental role in exposing incompetence and nepotism among health bureaucrats 18 years ago, forcing the Health Department to sack the board of the Hunter Area Health Service after it overspent its budget by more than $5 million.
Now he has been ordered to have a chaperone in the room whenever he examines female patients after being found guilty of professional misconduct by the NSW Medical Tribunal.

The ruling comes a month after a Wahroonga chiropractor was able to keep his registration despite being convicted of indecent exposure after showing his penis to a shopkeeper.
At a hearing late last month, the tribunal was told that Dr Howe, 67, had called or visited a patient, 47, at her home for eight months in 2006, buying her gifts, providing groceries for her family, taking her to dinner and on three trips overseas, including one with her five children.
The patient said she had consulted Dr Howe, the founder of the Newcastle Melanoma Unit and a former branch president of the Australian Medical Association, for a breast augmentation and a personal relationship had developed.
Three weeks after the surgery, Dr Howe, who works at Newcastle Hospital, Newcastle Private and the Mater, leased a car for the patient and made the repayments, but when the relationship soured, she sought to sell it because she could not afford the running costs.
She told the tribunal she had approached Dr Howe about the matter and was allegedly told they could ''make the problem go away'' if she spent the night at his house. She said Dr Howe then grabbed her breast and twisted it, saying ''they're mine. I own these''.
The woman contacted the police and made a complaint, but her evidence did not proceed to court because Dr Howe said his gardener had been present and would testify the incident did not occur. He ''absolutely and categorically denied'' he had touched her that day.
The opposition's spokeswoman on health, Jillian Skinner, said ''no one wanted another Graham Reeves'', the doctor accused of mutilating and sexually abusing hundreds of women at Bega and Pambula hospitals, but using chaperones in a surgery made a mockery of the doctor/patient relationship.
The president of the Australian Medical Association, Andrew Pesce, disagreed, saying the tribunal had the confidence of doctors and should have the confidence of the community. |
