One plaintiff says she witnessed Dr. Louis Kwong sticking his finger in surgical hip wounds on an unconscious patient while making sexual sounds and saying he was “finding the G-spot.”
Three leading female physicians at Harbor-UCLA Medical Center in Torrance, California, filed suit last week against Los Angeles County, the overseer of the giant teaching hospital, contending that its management ignored years of complaints alleging sexual harassment, retaliation and discriminatory behavior by Dr. Louis Kwong, who until recently was the head of the facility’s orthopedics department.
Kwong’s activities created a toxic work environment and put patients at risk, the physicians said in their suits, contending in one that he committed sexual misconduct on unconscious patients in the operating room, delayed acute surgery for county residents to perform elective procedures and once demanded that an operating room television on which a patient’s operation was being monitored be switched to a baseball game he wanted to watch during the operation. They say he also wore a gun at the hospital, including in the operating room; Kwong is a volunteer deputy sheriff in Los Angeles County, the county confirmed.
What the actual fuck… And then the medical community wonders why more and more people are trusting them less and less. I still trust my doctor, but I also understand the growing distrust from patients who experience/witness shit like this at the hands of their doctors.
