Doctor sued for issuing sex treatment for back pain

SEATTLE (Reuters) - An Oregon woman whose doctor convinced her that he could cure her lower back pain by having sex with her is suing him and his medical clinic for $4 million, according to legal documents obtained on Monday.

The doctor, Randall Smith, who was 50 at the time, was stripped of his license and sent to jail for 60 days last year for charging the state's Oregon Health Plan $5,000 for his 45-minute "treatments" involving the woman.

"Dr. Smith's medical treatment included intercourse in which he told plaintiff was needed to help alleviate plaintiff's lower back and lower extremity pain," the former patient said in the lawsuit.

The lawsuit, which charges battery, negligence and intentional and negligent infliction of emotional distress, was filed on Friday in Multnomah County court.

"We never comment on lawsuits," said a spokesman for the Adventist Medical Group clinic in Gresham, Oregon where Smith worked. Smith could not be located for comment.

Though he pleaded guilty to submitting false health care claims, a felony, Smith maintained the sex with the 47-year-old woman was consensual.

Okay, so the doctor's a lying sack of shyt. But don't you think she should have been a little suspicious when he recommended sex as a treatment for back pain? How dumb is she?

So if a woman pretends to go along with a doctors "sex treatments" with the idea of suing him for lots of money, does that make her a hooker or an escort?

Apparently you're a hooker or escort based on the company you keep, and since a doctor is pretty high class...

Hooker. An escort would require dinner/drinks first.

If she's taking advantage of such a low life scum, then she's the smarter of the two.

LOL, I can imagine the doctor talking to his buddies about this.

"And then I told her that sex was the only cure."
"AND SHE BOUGHT THAT LINE?!?!"
"NO WAY!"

Well it is has to be the patient who is orgasming, not the doctor. Besides, any respectable doctor that would even consider offering that as a treatment would have the patient go buy a vibrator, not administer the "treatment" personally.

Your tax dollars? Where in the article does this say that her treatments were paid for by Medicare?

The google ads at the bottom of this thread make it all the more funnier "Don't live with pain", etc.
