A gynecologist is accused of fondling himself in front of a female patient, “while asking her personal questions about her sex life and espousing the benefits of self-stimulation during an office visit.”
Is this truly an indiscretion by a 61-year old doctor with an unblemished record, or is the patient out for revenge after being refused a narcotic prescription?
No matter what happens, the physician has already lost with the story being published in the local newspaper.

I wonder if the retraction will get as much attention?
It’s possible the physician has developed this behavior following some insult to or deterioration of specific regions of the the brain associated with that kind of acting out.
I’d not be so quick to blame the patient. It’s likely her story was corroborated in some degree by others who have noticed changes in the doctor.
Only the fly on wall knows.
