The prestigious [b]Johns Hopkins Hospital[/b] in [b]Baltimore[/b] has agreed to pay $190m in compensation to 7,000 victims of a gynaecologist who secretly photographed pelvic examinations. [s]Bioedge[/s] reports that Dr Nikita Levy was dismissed in February 2013 after a female colleague noticed that he wore a pen around his neck which was really a concealed camera. He committed suicide shortly afterwards. The lawsuit charged Johns Hopkins with invasion of privacy, emotional distress and negligence in its oversight of Dr Levy.
