Sex on consulting room floor psychiatrist guilty
Friday 19th August 2011, 11:30AM BST.
DR STEVEN Lomax did have sex with a married woman patient on his consulting room floor at the Castel Hospital, a disciplinary panel has ruled.
The retired psychiatrist, who worked in Guernsey between 1978 and 1991, now faces being struck off the General Medical Council’s register.
A Fitness to Practice hearing yesterday also ruled that between March 1988 and January 2001 that Dr Lomax (pictured) had an improper sexual relationship with the patient, who was called Ms A throughout the hearing.
It accepted Ms A’s evidence that on occasions between March and May 1988 Dr Lomax locked the consulting room door at the Castel and they had sex on the floor.

What is all this about ? This man aledgedly behaved in an unprofessional way 20 years ago.If this is true,why has it taken the authorities so long to act ? In the meanwhile he has been practicing for all this time,and if I may say so, he appears to be too old now to practice anyway.

Because that is how the medical proffesion works. They hate striking a member off, and do their best to dely until it will make no difference. Many other proffesions use the same tactics.
Thoroughly bad attitudes from the people who we should be able to trust.

OK, he had sex with a patient on the floor or the consulting room 20 years ago.
I`m not condoning his actions but was the lady tied up and unable to defend herself, and why wait twenty years to complain about it?
I think she may have the idea that, as with a lot of these cases in todays society, she would get a large compensation of cash into her pocket.
What else could be her motive after all these years and you needn`t think I`m going to fall for the usual excuse of trying to clear the demons from her mind?
