According to the clinic staff, complaints of patients to the doctor have been received for 17 years.. However, the clinic management ignored them..

100 patients of the University of Southern California University Medical Center filed a lawsuit against a medical institution. Specifically, patients are accused of harassment by the former gynecologist of the Center - George Tyndall. According to the victims, during the years 2000-2017, the doctor harassed them on check-ups, photographed their genitals for a personal archive.. Most often, harassment was experienced by patients from China who knew little English and were not familiar with American medical ethics..

The police launched an investigation into this case and found out that 500 women had been injured by the unlawful actions of the doctor, seven of whom sued Tyndall. The number of victims may increase: almost ten thousand women have been examined by a doctor.

According to the clinic staff, complaints from patients to the doctor have been received for 17 years.. However, Tyndall’s actions were once prevented by the Chief Medical Officer of the Medical Center Lawrence Neinstein.. Upon learning that Tyndall photographed the genitals of his patients during the examinations, he ordered the nurse to destroy these pictures.. In 2016, Neinstein died, and in his office were found complaints from women who claimed harassment.
