BEND â The regionâs largest health care system is being sued for allegations that one of its physicians inappropriately touched a female patient in 2020. A woman identified by her initials, M.H., filed the $1 million complaint for sexual abuse and battery against St. Charles Heath System. Oncologist Dr. Theodore Braich is named as a defendant. Calls to St. Charles Bend were not returned Friday, July 16. âDr. Braich knew that plaintiff trusted him and exploited the opportunity that arose from his training, status, employment, and agency in order to touch plaintiff in places and ways, including with his pelvis and genitals, and on her buttocks, in which she would not ordinarily allow a stranger to touch her,â the lawsuit states.
