Colleague says Dr. Jackie Maxey May Have Engaged in Sexual Misconduct
According to WMYT, Dr. Jackie Maxey is being accused by another doctor in town of engaging in unprofessional conduct and the Kentucky Board of Medical Licensure has issued an emergency order of restriction.
The Board's report give examples of misconduct by Dr. Maxey. For instance, it sayd that Patient A as referred to in the report, is a 17 year old girl who visited Dr. Maxey with strep throat, but instead she claims that Dr. Maxey asked her mother to leave, then performed a PAP smear and didn't even look at her sore throat.
The report goes on to discuss a Patient B, who is a 21 year old who claims in one year she had 20-30 pelvic exams by Dr. Maxey. She also claims she had to allow the doctor to examine her in order for Maxey to write a prescription for another ailment.
When confronted by the board Maxey told them it was his passion to find and treat Gynecological Cancer because his mother died from the disease.
Maxey must be accompanied by a chaperon when doing his exams but the Board still allowed him to practice medicine. However, the Board indicated that Dr. Maxey could face criminal charges.
Bahe Cook Cantley & Jones attorney says, "I've got a feeling that this is just the tip of the iceberg. If a doctor is performing unnecessary pelvic exams, it is a tremendous violation of his patients' trust. This is just wrong!"
