Now, this doc deserves every bit of the bitch slap, and more, if the allegation is true. https://nypost.com/2023/06/03/...yn-conference-video/ By Dana Kennedy June 3, 2023 10:02am A man strode up to a panel of OB/GYNs last month in Baltimore and abruptly slapped the speaker – claiming the Long Island-based physician had sexually assaulted his wife. Video of the scene went viral after an anonymous user put it on Twitter Friday. In the clip, the man can be seen stepping up onto the stage, grabbing the stunned doctor’s shirt collar, and appears to push him back a step or two. The physician appears to look around as the much taller man holds him at the neck, points at him and then turns to the crowd and says, “This motherf—er sexually assaulted my wife,” the footage shows. Baltimore Police confirmed to WMAR that the physical assault on the doctor occurred at the May 20 conference. The doctor, who has not been publicly identified, has not been charged with any crime. He practices at Stony Brook University Medical Center, WMAR reported. “The assaulted individual stated that he did not want to file criminal charges or file a report against the individual who physically assaulted him and that he would prefer the individual be escorted off the premises,” a police spokesperson said. The American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology sent an email about the incident to its physicians, prompting one doctor to reach out to the group for clarification. The ACOG then posted a statement about the incident to Twitter Thursday. “We recognize that those who witnessed the incident in person or online may have experienced trauma as a result, including many of you who have experienced sexual assault or other violence in the past,” the group said in the statement. The clip was apparently posted in response to the ACOG and has garnered 1.3 million views. “We take this matter seriously. Stony Brook University officials are reviewing the circumstances and taking the necessary measures to address any issues resulting from this incident,” Stony Brook University Medical Center told WMAR in a statement. The Post was unable to immediately reach the doctor. https://twitter.com/i/status/1664951425070243841 Q | ||

I should think not, because if he did, there may be a court case, with depositions, discovery and career-damaging testimony becoming public record. This is symptomatic of our culture today. So fragile. You've never seen anyone get slapped? Grow up. | |||

^ Yup. Lucky the guy handled it as well as he did. Plenty of people around here would have caught him outside after the conference and really tuned him up for doing what he's alleged to have done. Messing with a man's wife is sure fire way to shorten your life expectancy by a couple decades in many places. A Perpetual Disappointment... | |||

How the husband learned of the incident may be enlightening. For example, if she threw her sexual experience in his face in the heat of an argument, and later claimed assault. Sure seem to be a lot of professors getting major nookie in our institutes of higher learning! | |||

I don't like either sides reactions based off the allegations: If he assaulted her, cut his GD hands off and let ants eat at him for a day or two. If he genuinely her, the husbands reaction was tame at best. He deserved to have his eyes gouged out and to be castrated. Bottom line was the reaction was years late and far too lenient. I know I know victims don't come forward but I'm approaching this from the opinions that he is probably guilty and his ass deserves far more. 10 years to retirement! Just waiting! | |||

Why in the world would you even think that? How did he learn about it? She told him. | |||

Yea I think you guys are nuts. You watch that 2 minutes and you are taking sides? Really? Because some guy claims something happened 7 years ago secondhand? And you think the fact that the Dr isn’t pressing charges is proof that it happened? If it happened then he deserved it. That video isn’t proof of anything. One of the most uncomfortable conversations I ever was a part of was listening to my wives friend describing her assault at the hands of her ob/gyn. It also sounded like every exam my wife every got during her 4 pregnancies. Even my wife was a little dumbfounded on the ride home. I might not press charges either because it’s a fucking slap and because I wouldn’t want to deal with this guy any more than I had to. Whatever happened to innocent until proven guilty? He might be guilty. That couple might be crazy. I’m not taking sides with that video as the evidence. | |||

That applies to a court of law, not the court of public opinion. | |||

This. Sexual assault is a serious allegation with extralegal implications. The burden of proof is on the State to prove that it happened beyond a reasonable doubt in a competent court, after referral by a Grand Jury. What is shown on the video is a simple assault, and a lot of people don't want to go through the headaches of charges and all that. Anything about any alleged criminal conduct on the part of the doctor would be inadmissible as irrelevant to the case at hand. The couple could choose to pursue civil litigation, but slapping the alleged suspect doesn't help their case. | |||

After seven years, I doubt anything could be proven and probably, the statute of imitations has run out anyway. Y'know, living in the world, accumulating life experience through decades, we sometimes have to rely on our sense of intuition and my intuition tells me that there's something to the man's claims. Yes, he could be a nutcase but it does appear that the man exercised a measure of restraint, all things considered, which is telling. No one in this thread is saying the doctor surely did that of which he is accused, but taking all into account, it looks fishy. Also, in that Twitter thread, did I see someone claiming that this is not the first time this doctor has been accused of sexual assault? Let us know if we can furnish a footstool to aid you in getting up on your high horse. | |||

I've been in those kind of arguments myself, with one ex-girlfriend in particular. She wanted to "hurt" me with a tale of how she cheated, I believe that she was lying, and just wanted to get a reaction. Of course the wife told him, but the circumstances of her "admission" seem to be relevant to the state of mind of her husband, and his subsequent over-reaction. It also casts a fair amount of doubt on her credibility. Not that this suggests a particularly high level of intelligence on his part (or hers). Bottom line? None of my business, I am merely happy that these are three people I am unlikely to ever meet. | |||

I believe the husband believes the doc sexually assaulted his wife. I cannot think of a good reason for the wife to have made that up. Children is a different story entirely, with all kinds of factors, but an adult woman doesn't make up a story like that. The fact that the doctor just wanted the husband's assault to be immediately ignored tells me he is guilty. The doc knows his reputation is seriously stained, so why wouldn't he want a crazy violent person arrested and then to defend his reputation? | |||

Adult women make that story up WAY more than children do. "And adult woman doesn't make that story up" is the fucking overstatement of the year, what were you basing that comment on? personal opinion? cause actual statistics says you're totally fucking wrong. 10 years to retirement! Just waiting! | |||

You guys are off to the races. Someone introduces pure speculation- pure speculation out of left field, and nothing more- into the thread, and now you guys are arguing its merits. It's damn silly. What happened to "don't jump to conclusions"? It was in this thread and it seems to have vaporized. | |||

No one here is trying to "prove" anything about this incident. As with thousands of other threads, just discussion and speculation, you know, a forum. As far as the guy not pressing, it is very odd behavior. He just got slapped a couple of times, accused of heinous shit, all in front of an audience of his colleagues and peers. A normal person innocent of these allegations would press charges, defend himself and his professional reputation. But he doesn't, it seems he just wants this whole thing to disappear. Very odd.

That's the funniest thing I've read all day. Adult women make up stories like that every. single. day. I'm siding with the doc as odds are that he had a female chaperone in the room with him and the patient every single time he did a pelvic exam (or a breast exam). If he didn't, then he's a damn fool, and it's worth an eyebrow raise, but I'd still side with him because crazy women say crazy things every. single. day. Seven years later? Horseshit. ________________________________________________________ "Great danger lies in the notion that we can reason with evil." Doug Patton. | |||

No, based on previously being married to a child sex abuse survivor and having done a lot of research on the topic. Women do make up stories of rape after the fact for a variety of reasons. Morning after regrets, cheating is discovered and she tries to cover it up, etc. Women do make up stories of sexual assaults or sexual harassment at work for a variety of reasons. But a grown woman making up a story about her gyno sexually assaulting her has no logical explanation other than perhaps the woman had some other revenge motive against the gyno specifically. Or the gyno got her pregnant in a consensual affair that the husband just found out about when he discovered his child wasn't really his. So the wife lied and said it was a rape. Yeah, nope, neither motivation makes sense. Children on the other hand is a completely different situation. Children typically make false allegations based on an adult coaching or leading them. Many actual child victims never reveal it or do not reveal it until decades later. But the CSA topic is huge and irrelevant here. I can concoct a wild scenario where the wife lied to her husband about the gyno sexually assaulting her, such as knowing husband would go nuts and attack the guy. So that would be a strategy to destroy her husband. But she'd be caught up in the defamation lawsuit which a false allegation could well bring on. | |||

How many women tell their husband that their gyno sexually assaulted her years ago? That is what seems very unusual to me. Not that a woman claimed a sexual assault of some sort, because yes those happen all the damn time, but specifically that a woman many years later says that her gyno assaulted her somehow. How many here would be totally happy to have their wife or daughter go to this doc now? That is the gut test, and why the doc immediately trying to make it quietly go away tells me he is guilty. Docs do assault women. Dentists have done it. It does happen. But in this case I am skeptical. | |||
