Doctor Billed State After Sex With Patient

An Oregon City doctor will spend two months in jail after he advised a patient that having sex with him would help her pelvic pain, then billed the Oregon Health Plan for his time during their sessions.

Dr. Randall J. Smith, 50, must also perform 200 hours of community service and pay $1,105 in fines as part of a plea agreement, Rodney Hopkinson, a senior assistant attorney general for the Oregon Department of Justice, told The Oregonian newspaper.

The news keeps getting wackier every year. When you read stuff like this, a part of you thinks that it HAS to be made up. Here's this 50 year old doctor, with presumably no other blemishes on his record, who decides that he wants to have sex with this female patient so bad, he uses his position as leverage; Moreover, she agrees to it!!! This is the real comedy in the world.
