Pediatric surgeon arrested for child porn. Missouri revokes license two years later

FEDERAL BUREAU OF PRISONS


The Missouri medical board revoked the license of pediatric surgeon Guy Rosenschein last week — more than two years after he was arrested in New Mexico on child pornography charges.

Rosenschein had been licensed in Missouri since 2000 and worked in Joplin and at the University of Missouri Health Care in Columbia until 2013.

Federal agents arrested him in November 2016 after they served a search warrant at his house and found a cache of hundreds of pornographic images and videos on a USB flash drive. They also discovered a 16-year-old boy, wearing only his underwear, in Rosenschein’s bed. Rosenschein and the boy, a former patient, both said nothing sexual occurred between them.

. . .

Rosenschein is facing at least 16 lawsuits from the families of former patients who allege that he inappropriately touched or photographed their children during exams or surgeries.

1. TWO YEARS Later?

Jesus H. Christ!

2. Truly creepy. Doesn't make sense, at all. What could it harm, for them to pick up the pace?

3. The bureaucracy moves at its own stately pace.

Meanwhile, in this case, the good doctor has been in jail since his arrest a few years ago, no bail. So he hasn't been practicing any medicine with minors.

I'm sure that revoking a license involves some sort of "due process". Not always a bad thing.

4. Not surprising.

Medical licensing boards can be really slow, that is IF they act at all.

I've read of doctors in jail for multiple rapes, selling dope, even murder, still keeping their license.

The politicians tell the public "tort reform" will help.
Never does.

5. After a review by forum hosts...locking.
