Gynecologist's practice certificate revoked for 'misbehavior'

Doctor L. - who was accused of "misconduct" during a gynecological examination - was fined 70 million VND and had his license revoked.

The Inspector of the Dong Nai Province Department of Health said that he is preparing a file to decide to fine Dr. L. 70 million VND and revoke his medical certificate for 9 months.

During recent inspections by the authorities, Dr. L. admitted that this facility had committed violations such as examining patients and selling medicine at the same time. The operating license only allows for internal medicine examination and treatment, but the facility still performs gynecological examinations.

When the scandal broke out, crowds of people gathered around the clinic.

Doctor L., owner of a private clinic in Long Binh Tan ward, Bien Hoa city, Dong Nai province, is the person who has been accused of "misbehaving" during a gynecological examination in recent days.

As reported by the Lao Dong Newspaper, on the afternoon of October 3, Ms. TTK (18 years old; residing in Long Binh Tan Ward) and her family members went to Dr. L's clinic, screaming and pressuring her, claiming that Ms. K. was raped when she came here for a gynecological examination. The incident forced the local police to be present to restore order.

Meanwhile, Dr. L. asserted that he was "wrongly accused" because his examination and check of the patient's private area was normal and followed proper procedure.

Bien Hoa City Police are continuing to investigate the case.
