Doctor settles with Ore. marijuana clinic over wages

A Roseburg doctor whose acrimonious departure from a medical marijuana clinic led to allegations from both sides has settled with the clinic for unpaid wages.

The Roseburg News-Review reports ( http://bit.ly/MS8AeT ) Dr. Darryl George settled his suit against Alternative Medicine Outreach Program and its president, Donna Eide, minutes before a civil trial began.

George will receive $105,000. He says he treated medical marijuana and primary care patients at the clinic from 2004 until December 2009, when he was fired.

George has been required since 2002 to have a chaperone present while treating female patients after the state medical board placed him on probation for becoming sexually involved with a patient in September 2000 and for conducting an inappropriate medical examination of another woman earlier that year.
