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.

A Senate bill that has just passed will allow more people to file medical malpractice lawsuits if it clears the House. The bill allows adult children to file a lawsuit if their parent dies due to medical malpractice. It also allows the parents of an adult child to file a lawsuit if their children die due to medical malpractice. Currently, neither group  has legal standing and so cannot file a lawsuit if a relative dies due to medical malpractice. The Democrat sponsor of the bill feels that everyone deserves their day in court while a Republican that is in opposition of the bill feels that the client pool should not be expanded when the budget is already running a deficit.
