Around 2009, a 16-year-old girl went to a clinic in New York City for her first gynecology exam. The doctor, a middle-aged man, disarmed her with awkward, self-deprecating jokes. Dr. Robert Hadden had delivered the girl years earlier. He allegedly instructed her to undress, climb onto the table and “get on all fours,” according to court documents related to a lawsuit that was filed in April 2019. After a prolonged exam, Hadden “proceeded to rub both of his ungloved hands up and down her body,” according to the suit, which claims that Hadden penetrated the girl with his hands during two appointments. Neither Hadden nor his lawyer responded to questions for this story.

The COVID-19 vaccine waits for no one. That s exactly what Julie Kupersmith, MD, a community physician in Westchester County north of New York City, has discovered.
Kupersmith, a plastic surgeon, is among those supposedly included in New York s first priority group for vaccination, but she has been unable to get a shot, she told
MedPage Today.
For weeks, she has phoned and emailed nearby hospitals as well as her local and state health departments, to no avail, she said. As she hears of hospital-based physicians, nurses, and administrative employees who have already received their second dose of the vaccine, she said she has no idea when she ll be able to get her first.

After Gov. Andrew Cuomo laid out his latest push for marijuana legalization, some lawmakers and advocacy groups are again concerned that not enough money will be set aside for Black and Latino communities afflicted by the war on drugs.
The two sides generally agree that New York should join a handful of other localities in approving legalizing recreational marijuana.
The divergence largely comes down to money: How much of the more than $300 million in estimated annual revenue should go toward promoting social equity as the state faces a $15 billion budget deficit over the next two years?
As part of a renewed push to pass the so-called "Death with Dignity" legislation allowing those facing certain death to choose when they die, the nonprofit Compassion & Choices is unveiling a new ad Monday as the group again petitions lawmakers to back the bill.
