			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> <a href="http://medcareforum.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/2517733900_a4c114123d.jpg" title="2517733900_a4c114123d.jpg"><img src="http://medcareforum.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/2517733900_a4c114123d.jpg" alt="2517733900_a4c114123d.jpg" /></a>    Elizabeth Mateo is suing Dr. Steven Kirshner over a temporary tattoo he place below her panty line on her stomach after surgery.</p>
<p>The doctor operated on a disc in her back and had to have placed the red rose tattoo on her afterwards. There were no witnesses.</p>
<p>He fully admits to putting the tattoo there and he says he meant no harm, that he did it to make her feel better. He goes on to say that he&#8217;s done this with other patients and no one has complained till now, in fact they seemed to like it.</p>
<p>Elizabeth discovered the tattoo when her husband was helping her to get dressed to leave the hospital, and became very upset.</p>
<p>The doctors lawyer is ridiculous in saying he did nothing wrong. This so called doctor is a whack job and I hope she wins this case.</p>
<p>Why did he put it below the panty line on her abdomen, and what else might he have done while she was unaware and he was in the area. If it was as he said, why didn&#8217;t he put it on her arm, which in my opinion is still not OK. He should have just left it by her bedside if his intent truly was to make her feel better.</p>
<p>I believe he is assuming his other patients didn&#8217;t mind because they were probably too embarrassed or ashamed to say anything. Furthermore, how many male patients is he tattooing in this manner?</p>
<p>I think this doctor needs a doctor himself. He abused her trust and his power over her while she was unable to protest. How dare he!</p>
