More than 100 plaintiffs have now joined a series of lawsuits filed against a Boston-based physician accused of performing pelvic, breast and rectal exams on patients that were not medically necessary.
According to The Boston Globe, four separate lawsuits have now been filed against Dr. Derrick Todd on behalf of over 100 patients.
The Boston law firm of Lubin & Meyer filed a class-action suit Tuesday saying it was representing 34 patients. As of Saturday, they said that number had already risen to 91.
Todd, who was a rheumatologist at Brigham and Women's Faulkner Hospital, has agreed not to practice medicine while a state board investigates.
