OGDEN, Utah — A doctor has been arrested for allegedly groping an unconscious patient during a surgery at an Ogden hospital in October of last year.According to court documents, Smith was a neurosurgeon performing an"Anterior Cervical Decompression Fusion" surgery at the Ogden Regional Medical Center on Oct. 11, 2021, when the assault took place.
The person who made the report said the victim, an adult woman, was under anesthesia and was unconscious. The witness said Smith squeezed the patient's breast, which was covered only by a thin surgical sheet. Smith had allegedly been making comments about his sexuality prior to doing this. The second witness also told investigators that Smith touched the unconscious woman inappropriately a second time. The witness said Smith was resting his hands on the patient's chest area, which they said was common during surgeries, but then the surgeon made inappropriate remarks and appeared to be"patting" the patient's breasts with his wrists.
