Doctor Loses License After Harassing Patient About Jesus When She Said She Had Abortion Decades Ago

The Independent reports:

A Los Angeles gynecologist has surrendered his medical license for allegedly hectoring a patient about Jesus after she revealed having had an abortion 34 years prior. When Dr. Lucien Cox, 75, entered the room, he pressed the woman for further details about the abortion, and asked if she had “Jesus in her life,” the filing states.

When the woman told Cox she was not religious, it says Cox asked if she wanted to “go to heaven and avoid the devil,” telling her that “the devil is ruling the world.”

He then spent the next 15 minutes proselytizing before inviting her to attend his Bible study class, which Cox said offered “counseling for women who suffer from guilt following an abortion,” according to the filing. The filing cites Cox for unprofessional conduct and gross negligence, calling him out for “extreme departures from the standard of care.” The medical board pulled Cox’s license, effective November 5.
