[QUOTE="Mattsmom277, post: 441024, member: 4264"] I don't think my mother in law knows yet. We did call her and leave a message but she's out and about today so I'm sure she'll call us later tonight. I doubt she's going to be pleased especially because she's enjoyed him as her doctor and she had a hard time FINDING a doctor in her very rural area after her doctor retired. She's got many medical issues and they require supervision regularly. On the other hand, she's of that age where she's going to be thinking "oh no, he's examined me and seen me naked" although I know she'd have said if she ever felt he was inappropriate or anything towards her. I'm sure the rumor mill is flying and its a small place where she's always lived so I know she'll hear a ton of things round the town. I'm going to tell her to ignore it all since she wasn't harmed by him and try to focus her on finding a new doctor who can take her into their practice, even if she has to look in the nearby bigger city. I don't believe police jumped the gun at all. The newspaper stated the investigation was ongoing for several months before the arrest. I was incorrect at him being arrested today. It went in the paper today but he was arrested on Friday and is in custody awaiting a bail hearing tomorrow, which I'm sure he'll get. His wife I feel very horrible for (after his victims of course). She has a medical practice as well. Lucky for her she carries her maiden name. I don't know his childrens age but their names are plastered on his personal web site. This guy was all over our local network tv station with this mini-infomercials with medical information in a series of health topics. He has authored many self help books etc and has I believe 3 more in the process of going to print (something tells me that will be put on hold by the publisher). Certainly the network is going to cancel his spots they sponsored on television. It is such a disappointment to hear people in places of such trust who abuse that power and position. I guess he could be innocent and if so I hope that comes out and people don't hold it against him. I know my pediatrician as a child had this happen and it was false accusations. We continued being taken to him and he remained my doctor until I had Matt, at which time Matt was his patient until this doctor retired to Arizona. I never felt a wit of concern with him at all and to this day wish he was still practicing. [/QUOTE]
