UK-based Guyanese woman sues doctor over ‘pleasurable touching’

A Guyanese woman, who claims her gynaecologist – to whom she sent a lewd text message – touched her inappropriately but pleasurably, has sued him for 50,000 pounds in a British Court.

According to the British Daily Mail, Bibi Giles, 50, has sued her consultant Angus Thomson, 40, and the matter is now being tried in a Worcester County Court.
The report said the woman, who is married to a British quantity surveyor, alleged she was pleasured twice by her gynaecologist on the examination table.
It was stated that the woman said she became “infatuated” with her consultant and propositioned him minutes after he allegedly gave her two orgasms during an internal examination.

Over the following six months she bombarded him with phone calls and sent him a lewd text message.

The Daily Mail said the doctor was “furious” to receive the text while in theatre and to make matters worse he had asked a nurse to read it out because his hands were full. However, Giles is claiming that it was a “regrettable mistake” sent on her phone by a friend to encourage the consultant to contact his patient about a fibroid problem.
According to reports, the doctor, who is a married father of three, in his defence, said that the woman became obsessed with him after he operated on her for a prolapse in October of 2006.

“During a follow-up examination in November, his patient claims he ‘rhythmically’ stroked her, giving her two …involuntary orgasms in 90 seconds with a nurse chaperone standing just feet away,” the report said. Shortly before that he allegedly also kissed the patient.

The woman is accusing the doctor of putting pressure on her to start an affair by steering phone conversations about her medical problems around sex and her libido.
At one point she broke down in court shouting: “This man is absolutely evil. He has taken advantage of me and he knows that.”
The court also heard that the woman’s 65-year-old husband, Peter Giles, heard about the orgasm incident but they did not want to go to the trouble of getting a new doctor so they decided to carry on with her treatment.

The doctor said the examination had been normal until the woman professed her desire for him in a consultation minutes later.
“As a married man, I was uncomfortable talking about this, particularly when she said that I was arousing sexual feelings.
“I told her that I was a happily-married dad of three and she said she was also happily married and that happily-married people could have affairs,” the newspaper report quoted the doctor as saying in court.

The doctor later contacted the Medical Defence Union to report the woman’s alleged pestering. The court heard that she lavished the doctor with gifts, including a tie, cufflinks and a bottle of port.

Phone records showed she made regular calls to the doctor’s mobile phone.
According to the report Giles worked in the 1980s as a model and beautician in the US.
She returned to Guyana in 1989 and met her British future husband at a diplomatic event.
They married in 1992 and settled in England in 1999.  She denied telling the doctor that she was a former Miss Guyana and her husband was a Russian diplomat.
The case is continuing.
