We have this report from the Republican American Prospect, out of Waterbury, Connecticut. The bureaucratic speak in the news story just spin talk for "He is suspected of screwing his patients"
Jeremy August, a psychiatrist with a practice in town for 27 years, has lost his license because of what a state board called "predatory behavior and repeated boundary violations" with his patients.
On Feb. 19, the Connecticut Medical Examining Board revoked his license to practice medicine and surgery.
The board's decision came after reviewing allegations that August had been seen hugging and kissing a patient and continued to speak with her on the telephone after she moved to Illinois, according to documents filed by the board in February.
Combined with previous complaints against the psychiatrist dating back to 1999, August's actions established "a pattern of predatory behavior and repeated boundary violations that pose a real and current danger to psychiatric patients," according to a memorandum of the board's decision.
August, who closed his Waterbury Road office after his license was suspended in June, said he plans to challenge the medical examining board's decision, which he says is based on unsubstantiated allegations.
