The conscious, the superconscious and the subconscious as well as research from the University of Stockholm “mixed” in his apology the 62-year-old doctor from eastern Crete who in 2018 was accused, initially by one of his patients, and then by three more for sexual harassment under pretext thorough examination. The man is currently sitting on the bench of the Mixed Jury Court of Heraklion, having stopped practicing medicine.

The first complaint against the ENT doctor was made in September 2018 by a girl about 22 years old from a city in eastern Crete, who after visiting the doctor with her mother and sister twice already, the third time she needed the doctor she went alone

As complained by the girl, who arrived at the doctor with an unbearable sore throat, the doctor started the examination from the neck and armpits, continuing to the chest, while asking her to pull down her pants, saying that women should check the lymph nodes near the genital area.

During this “procedure” the girl was asked to turn face down which she did, trusting the doctor, but when the latter grabbed her paws and put them in his pants, the girl realized the man’s erection, and got up furious! The man even had the audacity, seeing her upset, to be willing to … take the pressure off her, even asking her to wait a little “to change her pants, because she had become a mess”! The girl ran away and rushed to the Police and the Medical Association, filing a complaint.

Three more were subsequently added to the initial complaint, by young girls who described similar behavior from the ENT. One girl, in fact, fell victim to the doctor while she was a student and initially visited the doctor with her landlady as she had been dealing with a problem with her lymph nodes since she was 12 years old. In 2015-2016 she again found irritation in the lymph nodes and then she visited the doctor in question, to whom she had to go 3-4 times for re-examination, sometimes late at night, with the now 62-year-old doctor, examining her for 2 hours throughout the body saying that “this is how it is”. Until then, she had not suspected, but one night he had proposed to her to sleep at his house, which the girl rejected, replying that there was no reason, since her house was nearby.

In the disputed examination during which the doctor … manifested, the girl perceived the erection but also stroking her hair and buttocks, with the girl testifying to the Court that she felt discomfort which she showed. In no case, in fact, she did not accept the possibility that the defendant misinterpreted her attitude, saying that she was clear from her side.

The doctor, however, claimed that “that’s not exactly how things are” and hinted that there was some form of consent and that the girls did not react to his actions. In his apology, he said that he thought he had consent, saying that while they did not urge him, they did not react. In fact, the 62-year-old started talking about the conscious, the superconscious and the subconscious, but also about the percentage of the psychology of immorality citing research and experiments from the University of Stockholm and even said that he had developed an affair with another patient.
