Wisconsin Doctor Forfeits License

by Administrator 27. July 2010 02:58

According to News Line 9 (WOAW), "A former Marshfield doctor accused of illegally touching sedated patients surrenders his license to practice medicine." This surrender allows him to escape legal action by the Wisconsin Department of Regulation and Licensing. The Wisconsin Medical Board declared Dr. Kevin Lang guilty of sexual contact with a patient. He also volunteered that he had additional inappropriate contact with patients before this incident. Lang was a practicing gastroenterologist.

Lang is being sued by former patients for malpractice. The county is also prosecuting him for felony sexual assault. WEAU reports, "Kevin Lang is facing five counts of second degree sexual assault of an intoxicated victim."

Lang can apply for a license in the future, but the board has to authorize it. They can place any restrictions or limitations on a license, if he decides to reapply.

Inappropriate actions by a doctor can harm you both physically and mentally. If you or someone you know has been mistreated by a doctor, contact the Sheboygan Medical Malpractice Lawyers at Habush Habush & Rottier, S.C., by dialing 1-800-2-HABUSH.

Safety Tips for the Season of Road Trips

by Administrator 14. July 2010 01:56

ABC's Good Morning America reports that summer is the time of roadtrips, and, while most of us are aware of the dangers in the car, there is one area that we always overlook. George Clark of Wisconsin learned this lesson the hard way.

Clark was coming back from a Boyscout Leader retreat when a car pulled in front of them. Their vehicle hit the car while traveling 50 miles an hour when, "the untethered child booster seat next to Clark slammed into his head, crushing his cheekbone and jaw," reports Good Morning America. After multiple reconstructive surgeries, Clark is ok but wants to warn others of the dangers of unsecured items in the car.

Good Morning America writes that anything that is not secured can become a projectile in a crash scenario. The faster your car is driving, the more force the projectile will have when it hits you. When you pack for your next roadtrip, make sure you secure all items. It's best to just store all your travel belongings in the trunk. Good Morning America reports, "At 55 miles per hour, a 20-pound object hits with 1,000 pounds of force -- so powerful that a suitcase can literally sever the arm of a crash test dummy." It's best not to take any chances.
