Been watching this for a while; here's the fallout:

BALTIMORE (AP) — A gynecologist who secretly used a pen-like camera to record hundreds of videos and photos of his patients' sex organs during pelvic exams will cost one of the world's most prestigious medical centers $190 million in a settlement with more than 8,000 women.

I'm surprised the guy got to commit suicide....how was he not in jail?
 
I would assert that this scandal will cause women to be even less likely to choose a male OB/GYN than they currently are.

Lol, what? $190 mil is nothing for an institution like Hopkins. I'm actually surprised it wasn't much much higher.
 
:nailbiting: Man. More motivation to do good in the world to balance out the Karma s#*t storm he's created in the medical universe.

How sad. It's sexist, but I'll be the first to admit, I've never in the past nor future planned to see any OB/GYN other then a fellow female of the species.
