  Speaker 1: during gynecological and breast exams. The sickening new lawsuit, filed

  Speaker 1: alleged misconduct of Army Major doctor Blaine mcraw and obgyn
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: at Carl R. Darnell Army Medical Center at Fort Hood
• 3:44

  Speaker 1: thought a medical provider, especially in obgyn, would take advantage
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: of both the position as well as the profession. Doe,

  Speaker 1: or eight appointments, McGraw repeatedly dismissed nurses and performed invasive
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: breast and vaginal exams that were quote unnecessary, humiliating, and

  Speaker 1: profoundly violating end quote. The procedures, she charges, quote had

  Speaker 1: nothing to do with the medical issues for which she
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: sought care end quote. The full scale of the alleged

  Speaker 1: depravity emerged when Army Criminal Investigation Division agents contacted the plaintiff.

  Speaker 1: They informed her that McGraw had covertly filmed multiple patients.

  Speaker 1: In a sub ssequent meeting, investigators showed the shocked woman
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: still photos from his confiscated phone that quote unmistakably depicted
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: her body during an exam end quote. Just three days earlier,
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: Attorney Andrew Cobos, who is now representing more than forty
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: five alleged victims, many of them wives of active duty soldiers,
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: stated that the recovered evidence is catastrophic. Quote thousands of
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: photos and videos depicting scores of female patients. End quote.
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: But the suit's gravest accusation isn't just against McGraw. It's
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: a stinging indictment of the entire military system. Here's Jane
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: Doe speaking with NBC News. Shame on you for letting
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: this happen. Shame on you for not taking action. Shame
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: on you for letting this predator continue to practice. The
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: filing charges that the Army allegedly knew about McGraw's predatory
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: behavior as far back as twenty nineteen during his previous
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: stint at Tripler Army Medical Center in Hawaii. By ignoring
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: the alarms, the army is accused of giving quote cover
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: to a predator in uniform end quote. McGraw's attorney asserts
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: he has been fully cooperative, but the victims claim the
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: military response has been quote bureaucratic, callous, and wholly inadequate.
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: End quote. McGraw has since been suspended from treating patients
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: and remains under criminal investigation. And finally, duck and cover,
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: the most quacked up lawsuit in Orlando has landed. Hillary
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: Martin is suing SeaWorld after a roller coaster ride turned
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: into an airborne assault. Martin was riding the park's massive
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: Maco coaster when suddenly an errant duck flew right into
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: her face. That's a foul move for sure. The collision
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: allegedly chaoed the Florida woman, causing disfigurement, permanent injury, and
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: loss of wages. Martina is now ensuing for at least
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: fifty thousand bucks, arguing the theme park created a quote
