Tampa, Florida - New details are emerging about the case of a Tampa psychologist accused of having sex with his patient.
Dr. Daniel R. Lerom is listed in documents as having a long-standing sexual relationship with his Lakeland patient, listed only as "HK" in a lawsuit filed with Hillsborough County Circuit Court.
Each time they two had sex, documents say, the doctor would bill her Blue Cross Blue Shield Insurance for their "sessions."
Text messages show that the 49-year-old doctor told his patient, "My body felt great all over after last night. "
"I wish you were here in the shower with me to warm me up."
"If I were there, I would rub you and kiss you all over."
The doctor even referred to himself as her "Red Hot Lover," or RHL for short.
A lawsuit filed by the patient and documentation from the Florida Surgeon General's Office show that the two had oral sex and intercourse in hotel rooms, his office on and the patient's home in Lakleland.
The patient also gave her doctor a key.
Ken Kramer is a researcher for the Citizens Commission on Human Rights, a group that investigates psychiatric abuse.
Kramer was very upset to learn about the details in this case. "It's a felony. It's against the hippocratic oath. It's something you just don't do."
He wants to know why this case hasn't gone to the authorities.

Dr. Lerom is now being sued by his former lover.
Documents show that he began counseling the woman back in 1995. In February of 2009, she broke off her engagement and began having a relationship with the doctor, sources say.
When the doctor's wife found out, he ended the alleged affair.
The woman was institutionalized shortly thereafter. She had reportedly suffered a mental collapse.

If anything doesn’t this count as insurance fraud?
Yawn. This is news? This is one of the reasons people take psychology.
It’s against the hippocratic oath.
As he is a Psychologist, he may or may not be a physician. Psychiatrists are MDs and do take the oath. I'm not aware that psychologists necessarily do. However, I could be wrong.
Not if she was getting better :-)
They don’t, only physicians do and not all of them. I did, but even back in Disco Days, there was talk of going to a different oath.
The woman was institutionalized shortly thereafter. She had reportedly suffered a mental collapse.
There is no excusing the psychologist’s alleged actions, but be aware that the fancy sounding Citizens Commission on Human Rights is a Scientology front. If anyone preys upon the mentally ill or addicted, it is Scientology. They are an evil, evil organization.
Contrary to popular belief, the Hippocratic Oath is not required by most modern medical schools. (according to wikpedia)
That's what I get for using the Dr. Kildare movies from the 1940s as a source.
“I get the joke but clearly she didn’t get better....
The woman was institutionalized shortly thereafter. She had reportedly suffered a mental collapse.”
But the therapy helped by keeping her out o fan institution as long as the therapy continued...;-)
There is a Code of Ethics for psychologists from the lefties at the American Psychological Association.
No fraud here. He simply wanted to have his Kate and Edith too.
Fair enough.
