  "account": "The Jerusalem District Court has upheld a five-year suspension of gynecologist Guy Rofe's medical license, rejecting his appeal to alter or terminate the ban. The court found that Rofe engaged in improper behavior, mixing medical advice with intimate relationships with two patients, and withheld medical records from investigators. He continued to advertise himself as a practicing gynecologist despite his suspended license. Messages exchanged with one patient, a 19-year-old soldier, included sexual comments and implied that she should not get dressed during an examination. Rofe faces additional criminal charges of rape and indecent acts against another soldier.",
  "summary": "“I will examine you as a gynecologist and as a lover,” he wrote to one patient, according to the judgment. She was a 19-year-old soldier whom he treated while serving as a military doctor.",
