Kenneth Seen, 52, of Spencer, West Virginia, was convicted of the crime in Roane County Circuit Court this week. According to State Police, the patient bit off a “significant portion” of the doctor’s tongue at the time.
Seen had originally claimed the patient, a 77-year old man with dementia and Parkinson’s disease, grabbed his tongue and forced the incident at Roane General Hospital. Troopers though said the patient, who died in October 2012, was immobilized and unable to grab anything.
Roane County Circuit Judge Tom Evans will sentence Seen on Dec. 16. Seen was no longer an employee of Roane General Hospital as of August 2012 when the incident was first reported.

Jesus christ. And how many other immobile and vulnerable people did he abuse while he was in his poistion of trust and power as a doctor before he got a small portion of what he deserved? I am so grossed out. Throw away the key
