Does this mean I can sue every man who lied to get ME into bed?

DUDE. If this woman was stupid enough to FALL FOR IT, she shouldn't be ALLOWED to sue.

SEATTLE (Reuters) - An Oregon woman whose doctor convinced her that he could cure her lower back pain by having sex with her is suing him and his medical clinic for $4 million, according to legal documents obtained on Monday.

The doctor, Randall Smith, who was 50 at the time, was stripped of his license and sent to jail for 60 days last year for charging the state's Oregon Health Plan $5,000 for his 45-minute "treatments" involving the woman.

"Dr. Smith's medical treatment included intercourse in which he told plaintiff was needed to help alleviate plaintiff's lower back and lower extremity pain," the former patient said in the lawsuit.

I think someone should sue her for being stupid.

I'm so with you on this one. The fact that she believed it and will now probably be living comfortably for the rest of her life pisses me off. And people wonder why healthcare costs so much! $4 million for her being a complete moron, no frickin way! I really have a hard time believing that anyone would fall for this. I don't know the legal standpoint here, but the fact that she agreed to it, isn't that consensual(sp?)?

Yes but he used his "position of authority" or something to "force" her consent. I think I read somewhere that that's technically sexual harrassment or rape or SOMETHING

Dr. Fred would only have 5-minute treatments.

What a moron!
And why did HE have to administer the treatments???? HUH????
Couldn't she have had the treatments with a man of her choosing?
She doesn't deserve a penny, unless she is simple minded or retarded or something.
In that case, she should get a boatload of money and the doc should have his wang chopped off.
