Doctor Inspects Way Too Much of Patients

2007_10_stetho.jpgYikes: A Carroll Gardens doctor was arrested for molesting two teen patients last week.

The teens, who are 13- and 16-year-old brothers, were going in for "treatment of skin conditions." According to the Daily News, Dr. Cesar Veloso allegedly gave them rectal exams, measured their genitals, and asked them sexual questions. Unsurprisingly, the boys' lawyer says they were traumatized: The 16-year-old left the office "stunned" and the younger brother left "screaming."

Veloso, who was given a license for practice medicine 34 years ago (he's registered through January 2008), was charged with sexual abuse and endangering the welfare of a minor. The NY State Health Department has information about reporting physician misconduct, but they recommend that you read this PDF before you do; it also has a FAQ about professional medical conduct. You can also look up physicians here.

34 years ago? I wonder how many anal exams and genital measurements he has given to young boys during that time...

This is when all the little boys he has worked on who are all grown up come out of the woodwork and accuse him of buggery.

 

ideally, the fine doctor will be going to jail where he'll have his rectum examined by many, many of his fellow inmates.

 

All A or B Misdemeanors. Insane. I just looked up all the arrest charges on him...

A Misdemeanor, 2 count, Arrest charge, Arraignment charge
Description: ACT MANR INJUR CHILD

B Misdemeanor, 2 count, Arrest charge, Arraignment charge
Description: SEXUAL ABUSE 3RD

A Misdemeanor, 1 count, Not an arrest charge, Arraignment charge
Description: SX CNTCT W/IN>17 INCP CST

 

nothing like a comprehensive Physical exam.

 

ideally, the fine doctor will be going to jail where he'll have his rectum examined by many, many of his fellow inmates.

Unfortunately, this doesn't happen enough. He will probably be sent to a low level security prison. When he gets out, he will just molest neighborhood kids. Someone should just beat him with a shovel.

 

Remember when they used to tell you as a child, "the only person allowed to touch your private places is your doctor?"

Now what?

 

Ho do you measure ones genitals? Especially the nut sack? By weight?
