Christian Hypocrisy at it's Finest |
http://tinyurl.com/bcbcq
A doctor refused to prescribe birth control pills and Viagra to his
unmarried patients, citing his Christian beliefs. But his Christian
beliefs did not prevent him from engaging in "several forms of sexual
activity" with a female patient. Both the doctor and patient were
experiencing marital difficulties at the time. And in a final irony,
both doctor and patient were part of a Bible study group.

I like this part: "At the end of the hearing, Dr. Dawson eluded news
photographers waiting at the front of the college building by going out
through an emergency exit, which triggered an alarm."
If you wrote this story into Desperate Housewives, people would protest that
they were unfairly characterizing Christians in a bad light, and they would
complain it was too contrived to be believable.

Boy, what a perfect little microcosm of the Christian experience.

A while ago, for a few months, I had a female flatmate who was
a right wing monarchist fundamentalist catholic (mass should be in latin
and that kind of crap)... and, as I can attest from the number of guys who
stayed in her room for the night and the kind of noise they made, sorta
nymphomaniac.
When I would point to her, in a friendly way, the discrepancy between her
words and her actions, she would get all ballistic. Funny stuff.

And when, at last, the police came by
Sing rickety-tickety-tin!
And when, at last, the police came by
Her horrible deeds she did not deny
For to do so, she would have had to lie
And lying, she knew, was a sin. A sin!
And lying, she knew, was a sin.

It only applies to other people. It's a big sin for everybody else but
a little one for them - akin to transparently lying for God. They know
they shouldn't really do it themselves but their non-existent
situational ethics lets them because they're forgiven for it. Which is
why so many are sanctimonious hypocrites.

Barrie physician stripped of licence
Doctor, 51, pleads no contest to charge of engaging in sexual acts
with a patient
By JAMES RUSK
Tuesday, May 10, 2005 Updated at 3:23 PM EDT
A Barrie doctor who refused to prescribe birth control pills or Viagra
to unmarried patients because of his Christian beliefs lost his
licence to practise medicine yesterday because he engaged in sexual
acts with a patient.
"I have lasting emotional scars in the form of recurrent nightmares of
being held down, kissed and groped against my wishes; I cannot get
free, I panic and cannot breathe," the 40-year-old woman, who was also
in the doctor's Bible study group, told a disciplinary hearing panel
of the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario. The patient
cannot be identified.
At the outset of the hearing, Stephen Dawson, 51, pleaded no contest
to a charge that he had engaged in several forms of sexual activity,
including oral sex and masturbation but not intercourse, with the
patient in November and December, 1999.
The revocation of his licence for such sexual misconduct is mandatory
under Ontario law, although he may apply in five years for
reinstatement.
The college also formally reprimanded Dr. Dawson and charged him an
administrative penalty that partially offsets the cost of the
college's investigation and hearing.
The patient, who was 35, married and on medical leave for chronic
fatigue syndrome at the time, became Dr. Dawson's patient, according
to an agreed statement of fact.
In October, 1999, the patient was experiencing severe marital discord,
and told the doctor that she thought her marriage was over. He met
with her and her former husband and encouraged her to try to resolve
their problems, the statement said.
Later that fall they met outside his office for coffee, and the
doctor, who had been separated from his wife since spring of that
year, invited her to his new home in Barrie. Their sexual relationship
soon began, according to the statement.
Dr. Dawson said in the statement that he feels the relationship was
consensual. She stated it was not.
"Afterwards, however, Dr. Dawson's Christian faith became increasingly
important to him. He advised patient A that he felt compelled to
reconcile with his spouse, and he encouraged Patient A to do the
same," the statement said.
The affair ended; the reconciliation between Dr. Dawson and his spouse
took place on Christmas Day, 1999.
However, he continued to see the victim as a patient in 2000, 2001 and
2002, and she continued to attend his Bible study group until 2002.
The patient, who was in tears by the time she finished her
victim-impact statement, said that when she went to the doctor, she
was a shell of a person, caught in a marriage to a "perfectionist
tyrant," and at first the doctor encouraged and counselled her about
her health and how to endure a difficult marriage.
The patient, who has since divorced and remarried, said that what
upsets her most about the affair is that Dr. Dawson "exercised his
power, authority and used confidential, detailed knowledge of my
history and vulnerability for his own selfishness and sexual
gratification at the expense of a broken human being who had nowhere
else to turn."
The most significant trauma was in overcoming how he tricked her, she
said.
"How dare he come into my home, a home that was already full of
turmoil and pain, under the pretense of reading the Bible, and put me
in such a dangerous state?"
The woman said she has been living on sick pay and the possibility of
returning to work at full capacity is limited. A year after the end of
the relationship, she planned to kill herself, but could not do so
because of her children.
"At that time, I felt no position I took mattered. . . I felt that my
only worth was for someone else's advantage, I was only put on the
Earth to be used," she said.
At the end of the hearing, Dr. Dawson eluded news photographers
waiting at the front of the college building by going out through an
emergency exit, which triggered an alarm.
