The decision revives a lawsuit filed by 94 women who said their OB-GYN sexually abused them. Previously, a lower court determined that the actions they alleged had to be treated as medical malpractice.

    I’m guessing this is really an issue of insurance companies not wanting to pay for criminal activity, hence why it’s more difficult to pursue the malpractice route.

    The victims were pursuing the correct path- civil suit against the physician and hospitals directly. Stupid that they had no recourse to sue for damages because of a poorly written law (since corrected) and a poor interpretation of that law. So frustrating to fight the system.

      Wonder what the ICD code for ‘Healthcare provider induced molestation’ is.
