A nurse said a state senator inappropriately touched her during a medical exam. He’s been charged with assault.
from the Washington Post 11/18/2022
Over the summer, Michigan state Sen. John Bizon walked into an urgent care clinic in Marshall, Mich., seeking an examination, police said. He was taken to patient room No. 3, where a nurse practitioner prescribed him over-the-counter medication after the senator described his symptoms.
Bizon — who was sitting on the exam table — said he did not understand her medication recommendation, the nurse practitioner told police, so she pulled up a picture of the drug on her laptop to explain further.
That’s when Bizon, 70, allegedly placed his right hand on her waist and pulled her toward him. He then squeezed the woman’s waist with his right hand “in a cupping motion,” and told her that he was an ear, nose and throat doctor, the nurse told police.
The 52-year-old nurse, whom authorities did not identify, was so shocked that she didn’t say anything at the time, she told police.
