Tag: Dr. Nikita Levy

You are sitting there, vulnerable, on a table, naked except for a flimsy gown and waiting for the doctor to come in.  It is bad enough that you hate this exam anyway, but you grin and bear it for your health. Finally, the doctor comes in.  You lie back on the table and assume the position, this time completely vulnerable.  But this person has your best interest at heart, right?  Or does he?

Women at Johns Hopkins Medical Center were being filmed in this vulnerable position by their doctor.  Dr. Nikita Levy was carrying around a camera in his pen to take pictures of his patients as they lay in this position.

A Johns Hopkins Hospital gynecologist accused of secretly videotaping patients wore a pen around his neck that may have been used to conceal a camera, according to the employee who reported the doctor.

The employee told hospital officials of her suspicions Feb. 4, according to a letter from the hospital’s CEO, Dr. Paul B. Rothman. The letter was dated Tuesday and sent to the law firm of Silverman Thompson Slutkin & White, which is working with the Maryland Crime Victims’ Resource Center. The law firm gave a copy of the letter to The Associated Press on Wednesday.

The employee’s report to officials ultimately led to the discovery that Dr. Nikita Levy had been recording patients during exams at a Hopkins clinic.

Ths is outrageous!

Women go to the gynecologist to make sure that they are healthy. They trust their physician with their lives, so to speak, and do not expect such a breach of trust to happen to them.  Dr. Nikita Levy was under investigation for these lewd acts when he killed himself on February 18th in his home.
