about how UCLA handled earlier complaints against him. Heaps has strongly denied all allegations of wrongdoing.
The report said that none of the five doctors — all of whom have retired or left UCLA, in some cases because of the allegations — agreed to meet with the special committee, led by former California Supreme Court Justice Carlos Moreno. The committee reported among its findings that UCLA Health’s leadership asked Heaps to begin a planned vacation ahead of schedule in 2017 after receiving a patient complaint about him that was escalated to UCLA’s Title IX office and the UCLA police department.UCLA Health administrators tasked with handling the complaint determined that, while the Title IX investigation proceeded, it was not necessary to suspend Heaps in order to protect patients, the report said.
Wiesmeier, an OB-GYN, and Kelly, a specialist in men’s health, both worked at Student Health but retired more than a decade ago, the report said. Several current and former employees who worked with Wiesmeier said they saw him ignore patients’ requests not to perform sensitive exams, become sexually aroused during exams and uneccessarily and repeatedly touch patients’ vagina and clitoris, the report stated.
The lack of clear and consistent processes for reviewing and responding to complaints of sexual misconduct;Inadequate education of patients and chaperones about sensitive exams.
This is simple folks. Unless you pay attention this will happen for eternity. So...cops, teachers, coaches, whatever, all protect each other and appreciate they get paid more than their skill level. So...they all protect each other.
No mention of who will be responsible for changing the “organizational, cultural and informational deficiencies” which hid this misconduct. No sanctions. No penalties. Institutional medicine at its finest. Pathetic response UCLAHealth
