FRIENDS !!! CLICK !!! DOWN !!! THANKS !!!
A Texas doctor's medical licence was suspended after a woman claimed he sexually assaulted her while she was heavily sedated in her hospital bed.
The 27-year-old woman, who has asked to only be identified by the name Laura, said Dr. Shafeeq T. Sheikh entered her room three times that night at Ben Taub Hospital in Houston.
Laura alleges that Sheikh, 43, groped and raped her while she was being treated overnight for shortness of breath and wheezing.
Too sedated to fight back and going in and out of consciousness, Laura said she tried to press the bed's emergency call button but a nurse never came.
A few days later staff found out that the button has been unplugged, according to police records.
Laura reported the assault the the morning after the attack. At first the hospital staff didn't believe her, she told the Houston Chronicle.
A rape kit was performed on Laura and matched to a swab taken from Sheikh, but it took two years for the doctor to be arrested and charged with the sexual assault first reported in 2013.
Laura filed a lawsuit because she believes Sheikh has other victims.
'The reason I think so is because this person has everything very organized,' she told KHOU. 'He has no fear.'
'He abuses his authority, uses his power...and without thinking twice takes control over someone who is sick.'
Police also believe there may be more victims. Sheikh's medical license was temporarily suspended by the Texas Medical Board.
