Male doctor spying on his female patients, commits suicide.

Johns Hopkins: Gynecologist hid camera inside pen

BALTIMORE (AP) — 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 employee's report to officials ultimately led to the discovery that Dr. Nikita Levy had been recording patients during exams at a Hopkins clinic. Police have said Levy, 54, killed himself in his home on Feb. 18.

I'm amazed by women who feel comfortable getting naked in front of and groped/"examined" by a stranger. Especially when sex isnt involved.

Sure he might be a doctor but what does that mean? That its ok to get naked in front of a guy as long as he spent a few extra years in school??? Why not just let a slightly educated garbage man check you for breast cancer?

New flash, anyone can be a sick pervert, yes ladies, even a DOCTOR.

About 5 of my childhood friends went on to become docs, probably because their parents were docs. And I can tell you from personal experience that these were some of the perviest, horniest, sickest dudes I'd ever met.

I wouldnt let them examine my goldfish let alone a girlfriend, wife, daughter etc.

This doesn`t make any sense, the guy spends 8 hours or more a day looking at and touching women`s genitals but he isn`t satisfied with that he has to take pictures or videos to watch later when he gets home?

Yes its pretty horrible that people would do this but there are times you do need to be examined by a doctor so I'm not sure how you balance the risk.

I guess we just hope for the best during these types of visits or maybe insist on a female doctor but I suppose even some of them have the potential of being just as bad.

It would seem a bit off about him wanting to see more.....but what he looked at as a part of work is something others are quite happy to pay to see. I wonder if the good doctor had a website or other means of distributing the photos. That's what I'd be asking right about now.

At least he was not flashing and stalking little boys right?

What is creepy is that he could have been sharing the media with other perverts, getting paid for the media. Sharing photos with sickos that might have wanted to harass the women more later.

All the porn in the world and he steals from his patients. You know not every female visiting his office is going to be over 18. Sick doctor at least cured himself.

Aww shucks.

Another scumbag bites the dust.

At least the SOB was thoughtful enough to save the taxpayers in hundreds of thousands of dollars in court and jail costs.

So for that, I give him a thumbs up.

yep, your right I didn`t think of that he was probably selling the pictures and or videos to perverts on the internet.I guess being a doctor isn`t as lucrative as it use to be he needed to make a little money on the side, what a freak.

what happened to innocent until proven guilty ?
Yes he may be a pervert ( it looks that way) but we should not be judge , jury & executioner until ALL of the facts of this case are revealed .

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 Hopkins employee had noticed what she believed to be a device, like a writing pen, that Levy had worn around his neck while examining patients. She said she believed the device was a camera.

Seeing as he saw fit to kill himself over, one can only assume that his client base had less than tidy bits.

dont forget to go to the quiropractor...............hahaha.....

As my mother once said, 'I'm suspicious of any doctor who willingly goes into gynecology or proctology.'

And for gynos, she was referring to male doctors specifically. Mine is a woman.

However, as a patient, it's necessary to be able to trust them. So you can't say 'never go to them again.' It's medically important. Doctors are SUPPOSED to be professionals. If you talk to a lot [most] doctors, to them the human body is like an auto mechanic working on a car- it doesn't stimulate them at all.

They're not turned on by your naked form, they're not grossed out by your bodily functions, they're not spooked by your cold, etc. But occasionally you do come across a pervert like this. I wouldn't avoid them just because of that, though. Find one you are comfortable with.

For instance, mine is a straight woman so I know she has no interest in me. lol
