Dueling medical experts differ on opinion that fat doctor's genitals touched patients

An Ontario dermatologist who argued he was too obese to have rubbed his penis against female patients has been found guilty of professional misconduct. Two patients alleged Dr. Rodion Andrew Kunynetz pressed his genitals against their legs during the course of an examination.

However, much of the discipline committee decision dealt with the measures taken by two urology experts who examined the allegations that Kunynetz had pressed his genitals against patients.

Dr. Sidney Rodomski was retained by Kunynetz’s defence to conduct an examination to assess whether it was physically possible or probable that the contact alleged by the patients could have occurred. The report says Rodomski examined Kunynetz, both without and with an erection, and concluded that it would not have been possible for the doctor to have rubbed his genitalia against the patients.

Dr. Gerald Brock examined Kunynetz for the college and conducted a series of manoeuvres, using himself to represent a patient sitting on the side of an examination couch, and Kunynetz as the physician.

These were conducted at three different table heights and he testified that he was able to feel Kunynetz’s penis at all three heights.
