Physician Predators Among Us: It Ain't Brain Surgery. We Reap What We Sow
University of Southern California administration has thoroughly embarrassed a fine institution
In Los Angeles more than 50 women have come forward to accuse a former USC physician of sexual misconduct - and it's beginning to look like most of them will file lawsuits against both the doctor and school. The women contend that USC administration knew full well that one of their staff MDs was routinely abusing young patients, yet continued to shield him from prosecution for more than 30 years.
Doctor George Tyndall was the University of Southern California's only full-time gynecologist for three decades, and is believed to have treated thousands of students since he was hired in 1988.

Here's another sobering view of just how far modern 'healthcare' ethics have fallen:
