Female patients in California hospitals associated with USC and UCLA have been awarded millions of dollars in damages for sexual abuses over extended periods of time by Dr. James Heap and Dr. George Tyndall, according to this article.

Although a large percentage of the money awarded to the complainants will, of course, go to the legal firms representing them in these matters, there remains a huge sum of money available to the victims.
“The conduct alleged to have been committed by Heaps is reprehensible and contrary to our values,” UCLA said in a statement. “We are grateful to all those who came forward, and hope this settlement is one step toward providing some level of healing for the plaintiffs involved.”
"Healing". The word denotes a cure for a sickness or the successful treatment of a trauma. Is the award of millions of dollars to women whom have had their breasts fondled or nether regions manipulated by a perv doctor likely to heal whatever psychic or physical damage they've suffered? In terms of the physical these women were subjected to the sort of treatment they might very well have received from a boyfriend or mate. There is no intimation that these women were in worse physical condition after an examination by Heaps or Tyndall than they were before. In fact, those lady gymnasts that were victims of Larry Nassar went on to win world championships. So their damages must be strictly psychic.
If a large monetary award can alleviate the psychic damage caused by a bogus gynecological exam, heal the wound, wouldn't this be applicable to other psychic problems? Couldn't an individual diagnosed with schizophrenia be cured by a large cash payment? A kleptomaniac could conceivably no longer indulge in shoplifting with a big payment. An agoraphobic would be able to happily mingle with the crowd at a Rolling Stones concert after receiving a six-figure treatment. This leads us to the conclusion that, if the victims of Heaps, Nassar, Tyndall and other pervs can possibly be healed by money, then it follows that the entire practice of psychotherapy and psychiatry is unnecessary. Rather than have these mental cases emoting stream of consciousness answers from a couch to a psychiatrist, simply salve them with money.
Of course, treating genuine psychiatric problems with cash probably wouldn't be effective. But in America's money-fixated society money is the answer to all problems. Any issue, from AGW to Covid-19 to mass transportation, involves masses of enpixelated funds. This includes individual females that have been inappropriately touched by perverts with medical licenses.
