  • New York City Urologist Found Guilty Of Sexual Misconduct, Including The Inappropriate Use Of Sex Toys On Patients

    New York City Urologist Found Guilty Of Sexual Misconduct, Including The Inappropriate Use Of Sex Toys On Patients

    A urologist in Manhattan, Darius Paduch, was found guilty on all 13 counts of sexually assaulting his patients, reports NY Post. The victims included six boys, and the abuse took place from 2015 to 2019. Paduch, who worked at NewYork-Presbyterian Weill Cornell Medical Center and Northwell Health, would abuse his patients during private consultations. He would instruct them to masturbate or do it himself, use sex toys, and perform unnecessary rectal exams without gloves.

    “As a unanimous jury has just found, Darius A. Paduch leveraged his position of trust as a medical doctor for his own perverse gratification,”

    Manhattan US Attorney Damian Williams said in a statement.

    “For years, patients seeking needed medical care, many of them children, left his office as victims.”

    Darius Paduch is being sued by over 130 former patients for alleged sexual abuse and unnecessary medical procedures conducted without anesthesia.

    “For nearly twenty years, patients who trusted him for their medical care and treatment were instead brutalized by his degrading, sexually violating, and medically unfounded acts while the hospitals where he worked looked the other way,”

    Mallory Allen, a lawyer representing his victims said in a statement.

    “The jury verdict in the criminal case affirms that these heinous acts will not be overlooked, and the pending civil cases will ensure that the institutions who repeatedly prioritized profits over their patients will face consequences for their indifference in ignoring years of complaints,”

    the statement concluded.

    Darius Paduch, who has been in jail since his arrest in April 2023, could be sentenced to up to 60 years in prison for inducing minors to travel for unlawful sexual activity and other related crimes.

  • Woman Accidentally Shot In The Buttocks While Entering An MRI Machine With A Loaded Gun

    Woman Accidentally Shot In The Buttocks While Entering An MRI Machine With A Loaded Gun

    Doctors were left scratching their heads when a woman from Wisconsin found herself with an extra pair of holes in her backside after she slid into an MRI with a loaded gun. 

    According to records from the Food and Drug Administration, the 57-year-old unknowingly brought a loaded firearm into an MRI machine during a routine doctor’s visit in June, per The Post. As she was being loaded into the machine’s bore, the

    “powerful magnets”

    activated, causing the metal trigger to accidentally trip and the gun to discharge, reports reveal. 

    “Patient received a gunshot wound in the right buttock area,”

    the Use of Device Problem report submitted by the woman’s insurance company to the FDA in July read.

    “The patient was examined by a physician at the site who described the entry and exit holes as very small and superficial, only penetrating subcutaneous tissue.”

    The woman received medical treatment for her injuries and has fully recovered from the incident. It remains unclear how she managed to bring a weapon into the MRI room. The report states that she underwent a routine screening for metal objects before entering and claimed to have none on her.

    According to the outlet, MRI machines, which utilize strong magnetic fields to produce images of the human body, require patients to remove all metal objects due to the intense magnetism. Additionally, all items entering the machine rooms are carefully monitored to prevent everyday objects from becoming dangerous weapons.

  • Doctor Kidnapped and Fatally Shot His Ex-Girlfriend, A Nursing Student, Calls Parents To Confess Before Taking His Own Life

    Doctor Kidnapped and Fatally Shot His Ex-Girlfriend, A Nursing Student, Calls Parents To Confess Before Taking His Own Life

    A nursing student in Michigan was kidnapped and killed by her ex-boyfriend, who was a doctor, reports the NY Post. 

    The victim, Gina Nicole Bryant, 25, was fatally shot by her ex-boyfriend Dr. Justin Wendling, 26, at a gas station in La Salle, Illinois. 

    The suspect later took his own life in Iowa after committing the heinous act. 

    Wendling was reportedly a medical resident at Ascension Genesys Hospital in Grand Blanc Township, according to La Salle Detective Sgt. Brian Camenisch. Bryant attended the University of Michigan-Flint as a nursing student. 

    According to Bryant’s oldest sister, Angelica Gintner, she had been living with Wendling in Grand Blanc Township for 11 months since they started dating. However, in late September, Bryant’s mother and sister took action after she revealed that she had been enduring months of abuse from Wendling. They moved her out of the apartment to ensure her safety. 

    Bryant’s best friend, Charlotte Jolly, expressed her sorrow on Facebook,

    “It’s with a heavy heart that we write this post… The family has suffered an unspeakable and tragic loss due to domestic violence.” 

    Bryant was reported missing after she failed to return to work after her lunch break. Her co-workers said they started receiving concerning messages from her phone. 

    Surveillance footage revealed that Wendling was waiting for her at her home when she returned home for lunch and showed him leading her to his car at 1:42 p.m. that day. The next day, Wendling contacted his parents and confessed to the crime before taking his own life. They promptly informed the authorities of Wendling’s whereabouts but it was too late. 

    “The suspect fled to Bettendorf, Iowa. It was reported to the MCSO that as local officers approached the vehicle, the suspect shot and killed himself,”

    police said.

  • Yale Physician Says All Doctors Should Be Required To Wear Bodycams After Witnessing Several Encounters Of Black Patients Being Mistreated

    Yale Physician Says All Doctors Should Be Required To Wear Bodycams After Witnessing Several Encounters Of Black Patients Being Mistreated

    A Yale University physician says hospitals should mandate doctors to wear body cameras after experiencing several racist encounters from some of her colleagues, according to the Daily Mail. 

    Dr. Amanda Calhoun, who is a third-year resident doctor at Yale, said she has seen racist behavior coming from her colleagues toward black patients.

    “I have witnessed countless racist behaviors toward Black patients, often coupled with conscious and cruel statements,”

    Calhoun, wrote in a recent opinion piece for The Boston Globe.

    “I have heard White nurses joke that young Black children will probably join gangs and doctors describe the natural hair of Black people as ‘wild’ and ‘unkempt.’”

    The 28-year-old who described herself as an

    “expert in the mental health effects of anti-Black racism,”

    said in the article that she had

    “seen Black patients unnecessarily physically restrained.”

    She added,

    “I have stood in the emergency department as a Black teenager died from a gunshot wound while White staff chuckled, saying he was ‘just another criminal.’”

    Dr. Calhoun said she urges medical institutions to implement body and to ensure a safer and more liable work environment.

    “Monitoring the actions of individuals can result in self-checking behavior,”

    she wrote.

    “If we want to see a reduction in poor health outcomes for Black patients, we must hold health care professionals accountable in real time.”

  • Doctors Shocked After Discovering Octopus In Patient’s Throat

    Doctors Shocked After Discovering Octopus In Patient’s Throat

    Doctors were shocked after learning that an octopus was the cause of an unidentified man’s throat pain. According to the New York Post, doctors discovered that the eight-legged octopus was surprisingly stuck in his throat. The unnamed man realized there was an issue when he began to vomit after consuming a meal that contained the cephalopod, which is an entity of the molluscan class which includes octopus, squid, and more. 

    The man also had issues swallowing causing him to go to the hospital. Officials conducted a scan that showcased a dense view of his esophagus. Luckily, medical experts were able to extract the octopus after guiding

    “an endoscope past the octopus into the stomach and retroflexed it,”

    reports The Post. Reports added,

    “They then used forceps to grasp the critter’s head and remove it from the patient.” 

    Thankfully, the man had a successful recovery following the procedure

    According to the medical team,

    “The ‘push technique’ is the primary method recommended with high success rates, however applying excessive force can cause esophageal perforation.”

  • Researchers Have Discovered An Increase In Average ‘Penis Lengths’ Over The Past 29 Years, Doctors Say They Are Concerned

    Researchers Have Discovered An Increase In Average ‘Penis Lengths’ Over The Past 29 Years, Doctors Say They Are Concerned

    According to a new study done by the World Journal of Men’s Health, researchers have seen a growth in the average length of erect penises which they say is a cause for concern, Complex reported. 

    After extensive analysis, researchers found that

    “the average erect penis length has increased over the past three decades across the world.”

    The trend was uncovered after researchers looked through numerous studies originally published from 1942 – 2021, eventually bringing forth

    “penis-related data”

    from over 55,000 men. Researchers studied different categories of length, including measurements of the

    “flaccid” and “stretched”

    variety and erect penises showed the most increase. 

    According to the data,

    “erect penis length has increased by 24 percent over the past 29 years when adjusted for region, age, and population.”

    Stanford urologist Michael Eisenberg, MD believes this to be

    “concerning.”

    “The increase happened over a relatively short period of time,”

    Eisenberg brought up.

    “Any overall change in development is concerning because our reproductive system is one of the most important pieces of human biology. If we’re seeing this fast of a change, it means that something powerful is happening to our bodies. We should try to confirm these findings and if confirmed, we must determine the cause of these changes,”

    he explained.
