George Tyndall, the former University of Southern California campus gynecologist accused of sexually abusing hundreds of women, was found dead Wednesday at his home in Los Angeles, his attorney told ABC News. He was 76.
Tyndall was found deceased in bed by a close family friend who went to his home after being unable to reach him, according to attorney Leonard Levine. It was the friend’s opinion that Tyndall had been dead for quite a while, Levine said Thursday.
An autopsy is expected to be conducted, but Levine and the friend believe Tyndall died of natural causes.
In March of 2021, USC agreed to an $852 million settlement with more than 700 women who accused Tyndall of sexual misconduct.
What the hell is a “campus gynecologist”?
Is that some US healthcare shenanigan because students can’t go to regular doctors for some reason?
Some universities offer medical services on campus. Basic services will often be covered by tuition.
Do you really think it’s strange for a large university with a large medical center to offer services to its students?
Yes, I think that’s increadibly strange.
That a hospital at a university would offer services to the students at that university? Really?
You don’t think it would be convenient for students living at a university with a hospital to get their healthcare at that hospital?
Like someplace they can walk, rather than getting transported someplace farther away?
Seems like going to the closest place for healthcare would be convenient.
Yes, really. It has a really fucked up “company town” vibe. Visting your doctors is something private, studying at uni is your education/job. It’s weird to mix those.
And most students just need to see their GP and don’t require care from a university hospital.
Do you think they don’t have GPs there? Do you think that none of the students have traveled across the world from their former GPs such that it would be impractical to return to them for every little thing? Do you think faculty and staff might also find it convenient to not have to leave the campus to get healthcare from a prestigious institute of healthcare (as all university hospitals are).?
And, you mean the public university’s hospital, which like all university hospitals are a paragon of education, is somehow a company store?
Is the campus dining hall also part this? Are the dorms company housing? What about the bookstore and the coffee shop?
Are you telling me people move accross the country and then don’t find themselves a local doctor? And how does this work on univerities where there is no hospital?
See, all students need to eat every day at roughly the same time, so a centralised cafeteria makes sense. Not all students need to see their doctor everyday at the same time. So that makes no sense.
Yes, American dorms are also very strange.
The university healthcare center is the local doctor. That’s the point. They’ll also be specialized for the needs of young adults.
All the students need to sleep as well. That’s not different. It’s also an opportunity to provide inexpensive, subsidized housing, without requiring yet more people to enter and leave the campus every day. Transportation is the major problem of a university.
And dude, I’m not the ones down voting you. You’re just not yet getting how strange you seem despite strong arguments to the contrary.
Yeah, that guy from the article sure specialised in young adults.
Usually something you do at home, not at University. And you can still have inexpensive, subsidized housing without on-campus dorms.
More like a general problem of American city planning. Try trams.
Thanks for you inputs, but your points are not making this any less strange.
