[...] An Inland Empire doctor has been arrested and charged with sexually assaulting two patients. More from: http://losangeles.cbslocal.com… [...]

In the San Francisco Bay Area corrupt DEA where skimming evidence and giving it to gang members to resell. They would get a cut of the sales proceeds.

They where also providing cover for a large prostitution ring centered in San Francisco that was involved in human trafficking.

knowing that there a multitude of horses that call norco home, i was actually relieved to read the article to discover the patients were human. then, relief was replaced by disgust, of course.

Why not just let him retire on medical leave ? Cops get to do that all the time when they get caught doing something wrong

doctors should never see anybody unless they have a partner with them then these quacks could not make these claims. it is just hard for me to be-leave that someone who spent so many years studying to become a doctor would toss it away for some cheap thrills . now a cop i can be-leave because i know many girls that if they could of got knocked up by fingers many cops would be daddy all over the hood

@Big John: Who are you to judge calling people quacks for coming forward? What isn’t there to “believe”? A patient claims they’ve been sexually assaulted. While investigating the case, another women claims she too been sexually assaulted. You probably think priests aren’t capable of molestation because they’re a man of god too.

The same way you can judge this man by what you hear, I can place judgement by saying that these women just want money. A 32 year old with chest pains? hmm. Yeah im being just as judgmental as all of you guys.

This man has a family and children. This is normal procedure in any case and the media as well as SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY, IS CORRUPT.

@ Tuenchi great response. I smell corrupt media and authority. Its sad that they are posting this man’s photo as if he’s already convicted. I’m praying for him and his family that the justice system won’t fail him. I know he is innocent, but it really doesn’t matter now. they made him seem like a villain anyway.

The law says that this man is INNOCENT until proven guilty, but this trashy media has already made him guilty in the court of public opinion. I am strongly against providing mugshots of a standup citizen and smearing his name all on the news – this is total injustice. Praying that the justice system holds up to its standards of innocent until proven guilty. These are not allegations to be taken lightly, especially considering he’s had a scotch-free medical license for 6 years, has a family, and has had spectacular reviews (you can find them online). #criminaldefenseattorney

i’ve heard that hospital has had some issues about not reporting things in the past. maybe they’re trying to cover their butts? who knows what really happened….

@PatricParamedic

Knowing a few medical terms doesn’t make you an expert, nor does it make you smart. People are just sharing their opinions. If you can judge, so can others.

Octotrio -

“Who knows what really happened”

Read “America’s Dumbest Doctors” for a start.

Then you’ll know what’s happening.

Angel -

You might want to look up the word “judging.” I’m thinking you don’t know what it means.

You did see that I wrote, “Fakhoury may well be innocent,” right?

That’s called being objective. I have 11,000 lab coat lunatic behavior cases in my files, nearly all of whom were staunchly defended by folks who just couldn’t believe an MD could/would commit crimes.

But 2,500 doctors will be found guilty this year of truly stupid behavior, and Fakhourly MD might well be one of them.

Oh man so is he gona have a fill in doc i hope? man my ultrasound is in the morn an got to see Doc 3 days after lol poor doc hes cool…..Looks like he tokes but not a perv haha an iv been seen by him lots lol

Dr Fakhoury has been mine and my children’s physician for quite a long time – He is very professional, extremely thorough, and has a genuine caring attitude. Due to medical conditions, I had to see him approximately every 2 weeks for the past 6 months. I received not only the best medical care by him and his office staff but was also shown consideration and concern at all points of my care. I am very familiar with how he not only treated me and my children, but also how he treated the many people in our town that use him as their primary care physician. He is a wonderful physician – the best I’ve ever been to! And not only is he a wonderful physician, but he’s a fabulous medical teacher that donates much of his time to helping those in need, both to medical students as well as to low-income people in need of care. I am not saying that there aren’t people out there that do bad things but I will GUARANTEE you that Dr Fakhoury is NOT one of them!

Dr Fakhoury
Lets all remember we live in a country that you are innocent until proven guilty! The media likes to jump on “news” and decide what they want to share to the public and since most of us get our information that way we are all quick to judge. The picture they are showing of course one who doesn’t know this man would be quick to say he is guilty but to all of us who are his patients and have dealt one on one with a man who has only shown compassion and complete professionalism know that he will be proven innocent. Dr. Fakhoury is in the heart of his career doing great things for people simply because he cares, he is a good man with a wonderful family and he comes from a family of doctors he would not risk his career and his family for something so ridiculous. In the end he knows the truth and so does God and whatever will be will be but Dr. Fakhoury your patients who know the real you and have been treated with noting but the upmost respect and kindness know you are innocent and I for one would not fear being treated by you ever. You care for your patients and you are dedicated to doing no harm to anyone you respect your oath and that will be proven!

If you haven’t mean Dr, Fakhoury before, then please use consideration before passing comments or judgements. Like many people have stated, our law says you are “innocent until proven guilty”. An arrest doesn’t make you guilty, especially when he has been so cooperative that he turned himself in. I would bet my life on this man’s innocence. My family and I are all patients of his and we are 100% standing by his side right now. Please remember that this isn’t just a news story. It’s a real man. With a real family. And lets keep in mind too that these “victims” had family members present during their examination. Does it make sense for this upright citizen to throw away his life, his family and his career, all to molest someone whose family is standing right there??!!! Oh, and one of the “victims” has already sued 5 other Doctors. Know all the facts before forming your opinion and making such hurtful statements.

“Is it safe to assume that many of the figures you present in this discussion come from your own book? Just wondering.”

Absolutely.

I did 12 years of physician misbehavior research before I wrote it, because when you write a book that names names, you’d better be sure every word is totally accurate.

This particular doctor may well be Innocent, as I’ve stated since day one. But my point is, some of the arguments people are giving for his “innocence” are the same mindless ones heard in courtrooms 50 times a week in this country.

The facts are undeniable: NO profession generates more criminal behavior, than the errant doctor population.

If L.A. gang-bangers were a “profession” then bad doctors would be second on the list.

If Loma Linda administration suspected the complaints were not credible, Fakhoury might well have been “suspended.”

But he wasn’t.

And at least part of the reason is because another physician reported what he knew about the case.

To: Trevor, Karrie & Supportive:

I honestly hope you are all 100% right.

But to put the matter into proper perspective, 11,000 doctors have been found guilty of Felony-level crimes, in just the last 8 years.

Patient sexual assault is one of the most common crimes that doctors are convicted of.

The worst sexual molesters in U.S. history? According to the FBI, 5 out of the top 9 predators were doctors, including two twin brother pediatricians in Ohio, and a pediatrician in Delaware, who not only raped hundred of kids while their parents sat in another oom, but FILMED his assaults for his own enjoyment.

Does any of this mean Fakhourly, MD is guilty? Of course not.

What it does mean, is that of the quarter-million medical miscreants that are on file at the NPDB in Washington DC – every single one of them – including the Rapists, the Murderers, the Drug-Runners, those who secretly filmed their nude patients, and those hundreds who sexually assaulted patients – every one of them had ardent supporters, telling the world what a terrific doctor he was.

One of the biggest mistakes a person can make, is assuming you “know” somebody, becuase of your own personal experience with them.

Keep in mind, after Jeffrey Dahmer was convicted of luring young boys to his house and eating them, his coworkers all reported he was, “really a nice, quiet guy.”

Moral support is terrific & commendable. “Blind” loyality kills patients. About 400+ every single day, acually.

“If you know so many details of the case maybe you should practice a little thing called HIPPA. All your investigation should have taught you this and hopefully Loma Linda doesn’t get wind of your posts and turn you in.”

As an emergency professional, I’ve honored Health Information protocols for most of the past three decades. Like most medics (and most investigators) I can recite the details of the HIPAA Act in my sleep.

So I ask you, in view of this thread, which patient involved would you say has had her privacy violated?

Mr. PatricParamedic…..Exactly what is your agenda here? We are all reading between the lines. My question to you is, how can you find time in between your researches on the “11,000 lab-coat criminal files”, your numerous “court sit-ins listening to the hundreds of cases” and the “FBI investigative file researches”, to possibly muster up enough time to plant yourself on this review board and actually argue and insult our comments, thoughts and opinions on Dr. Fakhoury? When most of these opinions are from real people sharing their genuine experiences, you on the other hand have never had ANY experience of your own, nor claim to know him, but so biased to challenge their opinions wow. Then on top of that you selfishly, disgustingly and ever so cleverly try to plug in your book which only makes for a despicable conclusion. You have spent so much time investigating these doctor claims, I wonder if you spent any of that time in investigating these patients claims. How about sharing your “back story” on these particular patient claims and share your opinion on them? Like for example the part where the 32 yr old patient returns 2 DAYS AFTER her urgent care visit to say she was raped with a foreign object but WASN’T AWARE OF IT AT THE TIME…..how about hearing your opinion on that…..oh wait……you can’t because you have pledged your allegiance to HIPPA’s policies and procedures, you simply cant share your “back story” on this, right? But you go as far as to say you know the back-story and perhaps maybe “a doctor must have contributed to this claim”…..hmmm….opinions and contributions from a “investigators” perspective who’s “investigating this case” is not a violation per HIPPA. Yeah, I’d say you’re loyal alright. So again, I’d like to ask you, exactly what is your agenda? Or better yet Pat the Paramedic…who do you really work for? I’d say the only “lunatic behavior” you missed in all your investigations was your own.

Sue -

Because you asked, here is my agenda, and it is simple and elementary:

1. Some of the finest people in the world wear lab coats, and we own them a huge debt of gratitude.

2. Some of the wackiest, most evil Americans graduated from the very same med schools as the good guys.

3. NO group of professionals on the planet cause more death & suffering – unnecessarily – than the errant doctor population

4. Bad doctoring kills 450+ innocent folks every day of the year.

And I happen to believe people deserve the right to know about it.

If you’ve paid any realt attention to what I’ve said here, it’s this:

1. This particular doctor may well be innocent.

2. But is’s childlike to believe he is, just because you happen to “know” him.

And for the record, those of us who investigate, speak on & research physician misbehavior, are forwarded cases just like this one, by people who are aware of what we do.

We get 50 reports a week as bad – and far, far worse – than this one.

Sue, you can be as upset with anybody – myself included – that you want.

But you cannot find fault with the facts. And the facts are these:

NO professional group in society does more damage to citizens than badly=behaving doctors.

NO one.

That is my agenda.

I ever have, is to warn the public in every way I can, that there is a preposterous volume of physician misbehavior going on

PatricParamedic

No one is disputing the horrendous statistics that you are throwing at us. There are a lot of bad people in the world and many bad doctors as well. But something that is not being discussed is the other side of the coin, which is how many people make false accusations to be able to sue people for money. I happen to know another doctor from this same urgent care, (and no, I do not work there) who had a patient ask for narcotics and when he refused to needlessly give them, she threatened him verbally that she would report that she had been sexually assaulted by him. People needing drugs do a lot of crazy things. i am not saying that these women are in that category but it is just as possible as what is being said against him. So many people are too quick to judge, in fact, I would go as far as to say that we are ALL guilty of it. How many times have I read a news story and judged for myself based on how “awful” the story was. But we don’t know all the facts and unless we are part of the inside investigation, we should keep our mouths shut. If the investigation concludes with a conviction, Mr. Paramedic, then you can add it to your little book of statistics, but until then, let the investigators “ON” the case handle it.

PatricParamedic

One more comment. You mentioned in one of your comments that “Bad doctoring kills 450+ innocent folks every day of the year.” I would like to respond to this comment, not necessarily in reference to this specific case, but to again point out the “other side of the coin”. Can you please give us the statistic of how many great doctors (who are all “human” by the way, that means they are allowed to make mistakes too) are out there risking their licenses and degrees to make great decisions everyday to save human lives and help care for our nations citizens. Doctors today have to carry sooooo much liability because of the sue happy population. I admire the responsiblity that they have to take on to make difficult decisions to care for people. I am not a doctor, nurse or medical provider by the way. There are very few professions that take on the responsibility and risks involved in making decisions with peoples health and lives as doctors and nurses and the rest of the medical field. We are so blessed to have people out there willing to take care of us and take those risks. And when something bad happens (not referring to this specific case!), and bad things happen sometimes because one, we are all human and two, that is life, instead of thanking our doctors and nurses for working so hard and trying, we slap them in the face with a lawsuit. It is a sad sad world and we need to remember that there is always more than one way to look at issues.
