I Am Very Confused What Should I Do?


[b]For sometime now i have been trying to hide this problem of mine,but now i can't hide it any longer because its really getting out of hand i just had to muster courage to type this because a problem shared ,they say is Half solved.

whenever i see a girl i like i would want to get her and assure my self that i will date her and eventually marry her i will also tell my friends that once i get her am not going to date any other lady.but when the lady agrees to date me after highest a month i would get tired of her and break-up with her. the longest relationship i ever had was 2months and it made me feel bitter when i heard a guy saying he is in the 3rd year now with his g.f i was just wondering how he did that. its really not funny i told my bestie bout it and she said maybe its because am an introvert and its because i don't have sex with my g.f so it gets boring for me and currently am dating a girl but am getting bored again as usually and i really love this lady but i fear i will soon break-up with her again and i don't want this to happen...pls how can i enjoy a relationship without involving sex ??

Matured minds please its really important and perhaps others might benefit from your advice also.thanks![/b]

from what i deduce from your post
1.It is either you dont love the ladies enough to keep them or the ladies dont have what it takes in contributing to meaningful topics.

2. A spiritual wife could be lurking around wanting to keep you all to herself.(this will be evident in your dreams once in a while).

My advise is to be prayerful and try to analyse where the problem lies.There is nothing wrong in seeing a woman you love everyday,i once had a no sex relationship with my wife for 5 years until we got married.Everything is still like new till this moment.Try see your girlfriend like your favourite sister who you can share all your future goals and aspirations with.All the best.

Apart from d bold misrepresentation of facts in ur comment, there is also an absence of factor of logic... How would u compare d danger of 'indecent' dressing to that of under- age marriages... There are direct health implications for a girl not up to 16 having sex or even having babies... But because of ur religious sentiments u have decided to ignore this not to mention d issue of lack of choice on the part of d bride

I was replying a comment made by Orikinla if you read clearly.Show me your research where having sex with under 16 have health implications.In Sweden a girl is allowed to have sex once they turn 14 ,she is taught sex education,different styles,condoms ( condoms are readily available for free) and birth control in school. Gay sex positions was shown early morning on national TV (SVT) but cannot buy Alcohol until she is 18.Abortions are performed on girls in hospital without parents knowledge as a law.What kind of contradiction is that? Underaged girls can have sex and commit abortions but not get married.Always read clearly before you jump to comment on someone's post.

Even in your Mighty america an under age can get married once she seek the consent of her parents and the state.

Question: "How old was Mary when Jesus was born?"

Answer: While the Bible does not specifically state how old Mary was when Jesus was born, most Christian historians speculate that she was around 15—16 years of age at the time of Jesus’ birth. According to Jewish customs at the time, a young woman might become betrothed to a young man as early as 12 years of age, though the consummation of their marriage through ceremony and physical intimacy would not happen until they were legally married, many months or even years later.

In Luke 1:39–56, we learn that Mary traveled from Galilee to Judah to visit her relative Elizabeth. She would have had to cross a great distance though the territory of Samaria. We do not know if she traveled alone, with servants, or in the company of other family members. However, there is a great likelihood that, even with adult escorts, Mary would have needed to be both physically and emotionally mature enough to handle such a journey.

No matter what Mary’s age when Jesus was born, her spiritual maturity is indeed evident. The mother of Jesus is described by God as “highly favored” (Luke 1:28). When presented with the news that she would conceive the holy Son of God, Mary responds with pure faith and obedience by saying, “Behold, I am the servant of the Lord; let it be to me according to your word” (Luke 1:35–38). Her song (Luke 1:46–55) is full of Scripture—by some counts, there are 10 quotations of and allusions to the Old Testament in the Magnificat—another strong proof of Mary’s learning and spiritual maturity.

[size=20pt]Muslim girls are the most promiscuous in Nigeria.
Majority of them lose their virginity before 15 to older men.[/size].

If Northerners getting married before 15 is what you regard as promiscuity ,i wonder what you will call the baby factories in the East.

For your information ,indians,chinese and asians get married before 15 its just a matter of culture not religion per se .There is no age limit for marriage in the holy books.It only says puberty which is left for society to interprete on what suits them.In Europe the legal minimum age for marriage is 15 years .

CBN Has Blocked All Transfers Into The Country Except Via Western Union, MoneyGram & Ria

BY OSARUMEN OSAMUYI
NEWSAUGUST 3, 2016

Nigeria’s Central Bank (CBN) recently passed a regulation that blocks almost all money transfer operators (MTOS) from making transfers into the country. “Almost all” because as of now, only three MTOs – Western Union, MoneyGram and Ria – are authorised to make transfers. At least those are the ones that have a net asset value of US$1 billion and have been operational for at least 10 years.

If you were using some other service (say, WorldRemit for instance), you’re definitely not going to like this. And you’re not alone; the other MTOs don’t like it either. WorldRemit released a statement yesterday calling for the CBN to rethink their stance.

In the words of founder and CEO, Ismail Ahmed, ‘This move is arbitrary, inexplicable and hugely detrimental to the Nigerian diaspora who rely on hundreds of money transfer companies and banks, providing them with choice, convenience and competitive pricing.


The funniest (or saddest, depending on how you want to look at it) thing about this whole mess is Nigeria receives more than $20bn in remittances annually from migrants around the world. This is basically a case of shooting yourself in the foot.

The Chinese beauty

A Dutchman recently found out the hard way that online dating doesn’t always go as planned.

Alexander Cirk was hospitalized for exhaustion after waiting 10 days at Changsha Huanghua International Airport in China for a woman he met online, according to the BBC.

His online girlfriend, identified only as Zhang never showed up.
According to CCTV, the 41-year-old flew to China from Holland after a two-month online courtship with Zhang.
Zhang told a Hunan TV outlet that she thought Cirk was joking when he told her he was flying to China, CCTV reported.
“One day he sent me a photo of air tickets abruptly, and I thought it was a joke,” Zhang said. “He didn’t contact me later.”

When Cirk landed and tried to contact the 26-year-old, her phone was off because she was in another city having plastic surgery, CCTV reported.
But while many might think that was the end of the line for the online lovers, Zhang told the news station she is open to continuing the relationship.

No word on whether Cirk wants to give it another go.

Alcohol linked to at least seven cancers – not just liver cancer

Put down that drink. There is strong evidence that alcohol causes at least seven types of cancer, a review has concluded. Writing in the journal Addiction, Jennie Connor at the University of Otago in New Zealand says alcohol is estimated to have caused about half a million deaths from cancer in 2012 alone – 5.8 per cent of cancer Deaths worldwide. She found evidence of a link between drinking and cancer of the mouth and throat, larynx, oesophagus, liver, colon, bowel and breast. “We see the risk increasing as the amount of alcohol consumed increases, and we agree that there is solid evidence to conclude that alcohol consumption directly causes cancer,” says Susannah Brown, science programme manager for the World Cancer Research Fund.

Although the highest risks are from heavy drinking, people who drink at low levels are still at risk. According to Connor, there is no safe level of drinking when it comes to cancer.

This sentiment is in line with UK guidance. In January, the UK’s chief medical officers said that no level of regular drinking is without risks to health, and reduced the weekly recommended limit for men down to 14 units, to match advice for women.

The exact biological reasons for why alcohol causes cancer remain unclear. One theory is that alcohol can damage DNA, causing harmful mutations.

It peaked in the general election of 1991 when it won 6.7 percent of the vote and 25 seats in parliament, the same year that Carola Haggkvist, Karlsson's biggest musical act, won the Eurovision song contest. Three years later the party lost all of its seats and never recovered.

BALLOONING COST

Karlsson says his company saves Sweden money by housing asylum seekers more cheaply than competitors. He criticized government costs for care for unaccompanied children seeking asylum, which he said he could do at a quarter of the 1,900 crowns per day ($225) the migration agency pays municipalities per child.

More than 12,500 such children have already arrived since the start of the year, more than the agency penciled in for all of 2015 at an estimated cost of 9.1 billion crowns in its latest forecast just two months ago.

Karlsson's competitors include care provider Attendo, owned by private equity firm IK Investment Partners. Aleris, the healthcare firm owned by the Wallenberg family's investment vehicle Investor AB (INVEb.ST), operates six homes for unaccompanied asylum seeking children.

In the first eight months of this year, the migration agency paid out 894 million crowns to the 50 biggest suppliers of temporary housing for refugees, already close to the 1 billion crowns for all of 2014. Nearly a fifth of that went to Jokarjo.

"We are satisfied with Jokarjo. We are satisfied with most suppliers," said Tolle Furugard, who oversees housing for asylum seekers at the migration agency.

"It is often said in the debate that they are unserious dealers just out to make money, but that's not our view."

Most Swedes accept the role of private business in housing migrants, but there has been an outcry against exorbitant fees charged to overwhelmed municipalities. The town of Molndal in southwestern Sweden has had to pay around 50,000 crowns per month for one-room apartments for youths in some cases.

"It's not ok. But it is an emergency solution," said Marie Osth Karlsson, no relation to Bert, who chairs Molndal's municipal board.

Having opened five new sites over the previous week, Karlsson said he had 12 additional facilities ready to take on 2,000 or more immigrants over the coming weeks.

One things seems certain - demand will remain strong.

Residents waved as Karlsson arrived at Stora Ekeberg, a former sanatorium in the countryside which now houses more than 500 immigrants from countries such as Syria and Iraq.

Inside, children from Somalia were playing table tennis, while other residents worked out in the gym. Corridors and spaces were clean and the atmosphere relaxed.

Despite the money he has earned off Sweden's well-publicized generosity to immigrants, he was still critical of the lavish government expenditure.

"If they want the Sweden Democrats at 50 percent, they should continue on the exact same course," he said, referring to the rise of the anti-immigration party that became Sweden's third biggest in elections last year.

Sweden has long prided itself on its reputation for taking in refugees. A former prime minister proclaimed the country a "humanitarian superpower". Since the civil war began in Syria four years ago it has been out in front of its EU neighbors in offering Syrian refugees immediate permanent resident status and allowing them to swiftly bring family members to join them.

But a growing minority of Swedes say such policies are simply unsustainable.

Karlsson himself has stayed out of politics since his own populist anti-immigration party, New Democracy, collapsed in infighting.

Sweden, a country of just 9.8 million people, received 81,000 refugees last year and is on course to top that this year. The government has penciled in 40 billion Swedish crowns ($4.8 billion) to spend on immigration and integration, around 4 percent of Sweden's total budget for 2016.

Having run out of apartments for asylum seekers, the Swedish Migration Agency has been paying companies to house them in buildings like unused hotels and hostels.

The growing field has attracted some of the country's major names, including the Wallenbergs, Sweden's most prominent industrialist family. But none has taken a bigger slice of the pie than Karlsson's Jokarjo, which billed the migration agency 170 million crowns for temporary shelter so far this year alone, more than three times as much as its biggest competitor.

The migration agency believes housing for asylum seekers will cost 3 billion Swedish crowns this year, not including the cost of looking after unaccompanied children.

CHILDREN

Stopping in a cafe to down three cups of coffee while trading stocks over the phone, Karlsson chatted to an Iranian immigrant working at the cashier's till. He ended up offering him a job, either at one of his asylum homes or his food plant.

Reuters) - A Swedish pop music tycoon turned TV celebrity who once founded an anti-immigration political party might well be the most unlikely beneficiary of Europe's migration crisis.

But as long as the country is taking in the most asylum seekers per capita of any in Europe, Bert Karlsson is happy to earn a fortune from the government for housing them.

Sweden's answer to Simon Cowell, Karlsson founded a record label and later appeared as a ubiquitous judge on reality TV talent shows.

He launched an anti-immigration political party that briefly held the balance of power in parliament before flaming out in the mid-1990s, and still says Sweden needs to spend less on migrants.

But that hasn't stopped his company, Jokarjo, from housing around 5,000 migrants at 30 sites, becoming the leading supplier of temporary asylum seeker housing to Sweden's government, a business he expects to double this year after tripling in 2014.

"I'm the best in Sweden at entrepreneurship," he proclaims, sounding a bit like Donald Trump, a figure whose anti-establishment moxie he says he admires, as he speeds from his native town Skara to his first and biggest site for refugees.

The venture is a reminder that the European migration crisis is also big business, from the Turkish market traders selling life vests on the beach in Bodrum, to the Balkan coach operators selling bus tickets from border to border.

With one hand driving his Saab - plastered with stickers from his lakeside summer resort - and the other holding an iPhone discussing business, Karlsson says he spotted the need for immigrant housing early and set out three years ago to provide it at half the price the state was paying at the time.

University Of Ibadan Doctors Discover Cure For AIDS, Publish In Accredited Scientific Journals
-
Nigerian physicians and researchers have discovered a tested cure for HIV virus, the cause of AIDS.

The team of researchers who found this cure in pilot studies, Dr. Onifade Abdulfattah Adekunle, M.B.B.S., M.S., Ph.D of the Immunology unit, College of Medicine, University of Ibadan, Jewell AP from India, and Dr. Adedeji WA, converted several patients from an HIV positive status to a negative status in four months after first eliminating most symptoms of AIDS in the first three weeks on the remedy.

The cure which is a well known and recognized herb/seed has been promised according to Muslim scripture to “hold a cure to every disease except death,” in a statement credited to Islam’s Prophet, Mohammed(s).

The studies below were published in the African Journal Traditional, Complementary and Alternative Medicine and the second study in the Journal of Herbal Medicine.By no coincidence, mainstream media has been silent about these ground-breaking results since it was discovered.

The Cure

Natural Society reports:

Nigella Sativa, also known as “black seed,” is experiencing a boom in popularity as the number of scientific studies affirming its long-supposed benefits are coming to light. Now, a remarkable case study stands to add “HIV treatment” to its list of potential benefits.

MUSLIM HADITH

Abu Hurayrah, may Allah be pleased with him, narrated that the Prophet sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam ( may Allah exalt his mention ) said: “Use this Black Seed regularly, because it is a cure for every disease, except death.” [Al-Bukhari and Muslim]

First Study

The study, published in the African Journal of Traditional, Complementary, and Alternative Medicine, tells the story of an HIV patient who went into complete remission after black seed treatment.

As published in the first study, the patient was treated with Nigella sativa for a period of six months, after which there was no detectable HIV virus or antibodies against HIV in his bloodstream. Further, the HIV stayed gone.

The study abstract explains that the patient, who saw an herbalist, was suffering with symptoms common in HIV, including chronic fever, weight loss, lesions, and diarrhea. But the black seed treatment had impressive and near-immediate results.

“The patient was commenced on Nigella sativa concoction 10 mls twice daily for 6 months.. He was contacted daily to monitor side-effects and drug efficacy. Fever, diarrhoea and multiple pruritic lesions disappeared on 5th, 7th and 20th day respectively on Nigella sativa therapy. “

On the 187th day, HIV tests came back negative. Further, 24 months after the therapy was stopped, the tests remained negative for HIV and HIV antibodies, researchers, Onifade AA1, Jewell AP, and Adedeji WA published.

Abstract contd. Examination revealed moderate weight loss, and the laboratory tests of ELISA (Genscreen) and western blot (new blot 1 & 2) confirmed sero-positivity to HIV infection with pre-treatment viral (HIV-RNA) load and CD4 count of 27,000 copies/ml and CD4 count of 250 cells/ mm(3) respectively. The patient was commenced on Nigella sativa concoction 10 mls twice daily for 6 months.. He was contacted daily to monitor side-effects and drug efficacy. Fever, diarrhoea and multiple pruritic lesions disappeared on 5th, 7th and 20th day respectively on Nigella sativa therapy. The CD4 count decreased to 160 cells/ mm3 despite significant reduction in viral load (≤1000 copies/ml) on 30th day on N. sativa. Repeated EIA and Western blot tests on 187th day on Nigella sativa therapy was sero-negative. The post therapy CD4 count was 650 cells/ mm(3) with undetectable viral (HIV-RNA) load.

Generally, HIV is treated with highly active anti-retroviral therapy (HAART). This conventional therapy is controversial because the side-effects are often far worse than the viral symptoms to begin with. There are indications that the treatment, and not the HIV virus at all, can be blamed for many HIV-credited fatalities.

“This case report reflects the fact that there are possible therapeutic agents in Nigella sativa that may effectively control HIV infection,” concluded the study authors, adding HIV treatment to the long list of potential black seed benefits.

As we reported a few months ago on the benefits of black seed (Part I and Part II), the seed has been used for centuries as a healing remedy. A few of the known benefits include treatment of:
•Various type of cancer
•Epilepsy
•Type 2 diabetes
•MRSA
•Brain damage from lead
•Asthma
•Radiation damage
•High blood pressure

Nigella sativa can be found online and in health stores under the names black seed and occasionally black cumin. However, because “black cumin” is a common name applied to a completely different seed, make sure the product is labeled as Nigella sativa.

Second study

As can be seen in the abstract below, in the second study, six patients were converted to a sero-negative status four months post therapy on a special preparation of black seed with honey called α-Zam.

Effectiveness of a herbal remedy in six HIV patients in Nigeria

Abstract

The failure of conventional medicine to cure the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection compels many people living with the virus to seek alternative therapy. This pilot study determined the effectiveness (clinical and laboratory responses) of α-Zam (defined by the herbal therapist as Nigella sativa and honey), which is used by patients seeking herbal remedies for HIV infection in Nigeria. Six patients taking this herbal concoction as an alternative therapy for HIV infection were recruited into the study and monitored for 4 months. All six patients were infected by HIV, as confirmed by Western blot analysis in the nearest teaching hospital, i.e. LAUTECH teaching hospital or Ahmadu Bello University Teaching Hospital, before commencing preliminary clinical and laboratory examinations using World Health Organization (WHO) and Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) criteria. The patients were contacted daily and visited regularly after commencement of herbal medications to assess the efficacy (disappearance of presenting signs and symptoms associated with HIV infection), side-effects, drug toxicity, and compliance. The symptoms and signs associated with HIV infection disappeared within 20 days of commencement of herbal therapy with significant difference (p < 0.05) before treatment and at periodic intervals on α-Zam therapy. Body weight increased from an average of 53 ± 2 kg to 63 ± 2 kg, viral load (HIV-RNA) decreased from 42,300 ± 1500 copies/ml to an undetectable level (≤50 copies/ml), and CD4+ count increased from an average of 227 ± 9 to 680 ± 12 mm3/μL at 4 months post-therapy. This study concluded that the herbal remedy (α-Zam) is effective in the treatment of HIV infection based on a significant improvement in both the clinical features and laboratory results of HIV infection. However, a longer follow-up is suggested to ensure that the observed improvement is sustained. In addition, a large population study is needed to confirm our observation in this cohort of people.

Several other HIV patients in various countries including the United States have described the same results with the use of Black seed.

May 4, 2016 (KHARTOUM) – The United Nations High Commission for Refugees (UNHCR), has provided $ 10 million to the government of Sudan in support to the Syrian refugees who fled war in their country to Sudan.

On Wednesday, UNHCR Representative in Sudan, Mohamed Adar, met senior officials at the Ministry of Interior and Sudanese Commission of Refugees. After the meeting he stated he handed over the international support for the over 100,000 Syrian refugees.

Last April, an international team from UNHCR visited Sudan and explored with government officials ways to assist the Syrian refugees in Sudan.

Senior Sudanese officials expect that the number of Syrian refugees may rise as the conflict is escalating in their country.

Last March, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Ibrahim Ghandour, briefed an international conference, held in Geneva, for supporting Syrian refugees, on the situation of Syrian refugees in Sudan.

“Sudan is hosting over 2 million refugees form the neighbouring countries and freely provide them with health and education services,” Ghandour told the senior donors meeting in Geneva in March.

“I have discussed with the Sudanese officials mechanisms for supporting Syrian refugees and ways to support refugees living in Sudanese towns,” UNHCR Representative in Sudan, Mohamed Adar told the press in Khartoum, adding that a high level meeting will be held within two days to discuss refugees programme for the rest of the year.

The interior ministry and Sudanese refugees body, on their part, urged UNHCR to increase the assistance extended to refugees from the neighbouring countries and making basic services available in refugee camps.

More than 2,400 U.S. doctors have been sanctioned for sexually abusing their patients, according to a new report that, for the first time, surveyed records from all 50 states and reveals the nationwide scope of a problem that may be almost as far-reaching as the scandal involving Catholic priests.

State medical boards, which oversee physicians, allowed more than half the sanctioned doctors to keep their licenses even after the accusations of sexual abuse were determined to be true, according to a yearlong investigation by The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

“We found a culture of secrecy,” said Carrie Teegardin, a reporter on the paper’s investigative team for the project.

“It’s treated with a sort of secrecy that we don’t see in other arenas when we’re talking about allegations this serious,” she told ABC News. “It’s still swept under the rug in so many cases.”

Some high-profile cases have led to criminal prosecutions.

In New York City the former head of clinical research at the Mount Sinai hospital emergency room, Dr. David Newman, is facing charges that he abused four of his female patients, including one he allegedly drugged while she was in the ER.

Newman has pleaded not guilty to charges, and the hospital said he no longer works there.

If convicted, he could face up to seven years in prison.

“It doesn’t matter if you’re a famous physician or if you’re a famous anything, you got to follow the law,” said Michael Hestrin, the district attorney in Riverside County, California.

Hestrin’s office is prosecuting a doctor in his county accused of 26 felony counts of sexual assault.

Dr. John McGuire has pleaded not guilty to the charges and is being held in jail on a $3 million bond. His license has been suspended by the state medical board.

According to a civil complaint, McGuire sexually assaulted a patient recovering in a private room from the effects of anesthesia. He allegedly lifted the “plaintiff’s gown and placed his ungloved hands on her bare breasts and felt all around looking for ‘swelling.’”

In another alleged incident, the lawsuit claims McGuire “rubbed plaintiff’s vagina with an ungloved hand and fingers,” supposedly to check on a rash.

“Dr. McGuire stands charged of at least three forcible rapes,” according to John Mittelman, a lawyer representing a group of female patients suing McGuire.

“When you have a predator like Dr. McGuire, they’re not thinking like the rest of us, the rest of doctors,” said Mittelman. “They’re concerned only about one thing, and that’s their personal gratification. How else can you explain a doctor having sex with an unconscious patient?”

Even after being convicted of sex crimes and losing their licenses, doctors are often able to reapply to practice again.

Dr. David Mata, once praised on the floor of Congress as a “great humanitarian” and named doctor of the year in Oregon, was accused of 140 counts of sexual abuse of patients.

He pleaded guilty to six counts of sexual acts with patients but was not sentenced to prison and served his probation at home.

The California medical board revoked his license, but only after a three-year investigation, during which he was able to see patients, as long as an observer was in the examination room.

Asked if he wanted to apologize to his patients, Mata told ABC News, through a screen door, that he “empathized” with them but maintained his innocence.


He is eligible to reapply for his license, although he said he is now retired and does not plan to practice again.

The Journal-Constitution investigation began with a story about one Georgia doctor that led to efforts to document the problem nationwide.

By combing through news reports, state medical board records and court files going back 16 years, the Journal-Constitution's reporters compiled a list of physicians who were either convicted in criminal cases or disciplined by state medical boards.

The reporters found many of the doctors were accused by large numbers of their patients, in most cases females being seen by male doctors.

“One thing we found that was shocking to us is some of these doctors are the most prolific sex offenders in the country, with hundreds and, in some cases, thousands of victims,” Teegardin said.

She said doctors who abuse trade on the trust their patients put in them.

“When you go to a physician, you’re in a private room, and you disrobe because you need to have an exam,” she said.

Reminiscent of the early days of the Vatican’s handling of sexual abuse allegations involving priests, the American medical establishment has sought to downplay or ignore the issue with doctors.

“Those who are in charge of licensing physicians have a belief that they can be safely returned to exam rooms,” said Teegardin.

There are around 900,000 doctors licensed the practice in the U.S., according to the Journal-Constitution. Requests from ABC News to interview the newly elected president of the American Medical Association, Dr. Andrew Gurman, were turned down by association officials.

The AMA declined to comment specifically on the new report and, when pressed, provided only a copy of the AMA ethical guidelines on sexual misconduct.

New Sex Abuse Scandal: 2,400 Doctors Implicated by Patients

More than 2,400 U.S. doctors have been sanctioned for sexually abusing their patients, according to a new report that, for the first time, surveyed records from all 50 states and reveals the nationwide scope of a problem that may be almost as far-reaching as the scandal involving Catholic priests.

State medical boards, which oversee physicians, allowed more than half the sanctioned doctors to keep their licenses even after the accusations of sexual abuse were determined to be true, according to a yearlong investigation by The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

“We found a culture of secrecy,” said Carrie Teegardin, a reporter on the paper’s investigative team for the project.

“It’s treated with a sort of secrecy that we don’t see in other arenas when we’re talking about allegations this serious,” she told ABC News. “It’s still swept under the rug in so many cases.”

Some high-profile cases have led to criminal prosecutions.

In New York City the former head of clinical research at the Mount Sinai hospital emergency room, Dr. David Newman, is facing charges that he abused four of his female patients, including one he allegedly drugged while she was in the ER.

Newman has pleaded not guilty to charges, and the hospital said he no longer works there.

If convicted, he could face up to seven years in prison.

“It doesn’t matter if you’re a famous physician or if you’re a famous anything, you got to follow the law,” said Michael Hestrin, the district attorney in Riverside County, California.

Hestrin’s office is prosecuting a doctor in his county accused of 26 felony counts of sexual assault.

Dr. John McGuire has pleaded not guilty to the charges and is being held in jail on a $3 million bond. His license has been suspended by the state medical board.

According to a civil complaint, McGuire sexually assaulted a patient recovering in a private room from the effects of anesthesia. He allegedly lifted the “plaintiff’s gown and placed his ungloved hands on her bare breasts and felt all around looking for ‘swelling.’”

In another alleged incident, the lawsuit claims McGuire “rubbed plaintiff’s vagina with an ungloved hand and fingers,” supposedly to check on a rash.

“Dr. McGuire stands charged of at least three forcible rapes,” according to John Mittelman, a lawyer representing a group of female patients suing McGuire.

“When you have a predator like Dr. McGuire, they’re not thinking like the rest of us, the rest of doctors,” said Mittelman. “They’re concerned only about one thing, and that’s their personal gratification. How else can you explain a doctor having sex with an unconscious patient?”

Even after being convicted of sex crimes and losing their licenses, doctors are often able to reapply to practice again.

Dr. David Mata, once praised on the floor of Congress as a “great humanitarian” and named doctor of the year in Oregon, was accused of 140 counts of sexual abuse of patients.

He pleaded guilty to six counts of sexual acts with patients but was not sentenced to prison and served his probation at home.

The California medical board revoked his license, but only after a three-year investigation, during which he was able to see patients, as long as an observer was in the examination room.

Asked if he wanted to apologize to his patients, Mata told ABC News, through a screen door, that he “empathized” with them but maintained his innocence.
