Let the heated arguments begin......

haha Hedges sucks. And why are 22-30 y/o's going to a pediatrician?

They are the mothers of young children who are accusing him.

We have always used Dr. Jain as our pediatrician and we love him. We hope this is not true. What a shame.

Yeah, Hedges does suck, but Dr. Jain is what keeps us going back there.....for several years now! What a sad, sad day..... Dr. Jain, you are a true gentleman & I will always believe in you, to the ends of the earth & back.

I think Hedges Clinic is wonderful. My kids pediatrician and my primary care doc are there and they are GREAT - going above and beyond at all times. One (alleged) bad apple does not spoil the bunch.

Our family has been going to Dr. Jain for over 21 years. He is the best doctor we have ever had. We will continue to see Dr. Jain when he is able to once again see his patients.

Dr. Jain is a great doctor and has been the pediatritian in our family through almost two generations now. Never for a second would I or anyone in my family ever believe any of these ALLEGED "attacks." He is an outstanding gentleman and a genuinely concerning professional that doesnt deserve to have his name tainted like this especially when they are only allegations. Even when found not guilty this will always follow him and it is a disgrace. They mention in the article that the women didnt even know each other and that may be true, but you would only need one record of having an appointment with someone and see in the papers that somebody has filed a complaint already, making it so easy and tempting to jump on the band wagon.

Does everyone who is defending this man think for a minute just because he didn't try anything with you that he didn't with those women? None of us were there so there is no reason to demonize the women who filed the complaints. They would not have arrested him if they didn't have sufficient evidence to do so. He will get his day in court. Apparently the victims are getting their day in the Patch where people who weren't even there will decide if they are lying. This is exactly why abuse victims don't come forward.

where did all the other comments go?

Dr Jain saved my sisters baby's life, another doctor sent him home and dr Jain stepped in a sent him to children's memorial even though her husband had passed away and she was left with no insurance. This was 15 years ago thanks to him my nephew is alive and well. Hope this isn't true .

Just remember that a sexual predator can still be very good at his day job! It's not necessarily mutually exclusive; people often compartmentalize their behaviors, intentionally or not. Someone who saved lives/helped people, etc., etc., and was a wonderful practitioner of (fill-in-the-blank occupation) could still be a threat to others.

Well said NL mom! I wouldn't take my child to a doctor that was accused multiple times over years of groping or any other assault. Seriously. It's playing with fire. All of you who say you love this man, and will continue to see him, are taking a risk...for yourself and your children. Irresponsible at best.

I usually do not comment on stories like this. While KB and NLMom offer valid opinions (which they are entitled to express in this free country), it is obvious that they do not have first hand knowledge or experience with either side in this story. While none if us will ever know the truth, we can speculate, judge and form our own opinions. Some of us will make comments like "Hedges sucks!". The point is, this is one of the greatest flaws in our legal system. There will not be any substantial evidence in a case like this. This man will be judged by his character and the testimony of others. My opinion may be biased as Dr. Jain has treated almost every child in my family (including my daughter). I can say without reservation, having my child treated by this man was not "irresponsible". My wife and I are over protective parents with one child. We selected Dr. Jain as our pediatrician after hearing several extremely positive recommendations from other parents. In my opinion, these allegations contrast the character and integrity of a good person and an extremely kind and caring pediatrician.

I never comment either..but this is driving me crazy!! Where there is smoke there is fire! It's hard to accept a nice guy of something like this but the truth will come out and it will be a shame. But men like this need to be locked up! I'm shocked at all the support for him. Will you still deny he's a great man when he is found guilty? Will you still support him? When he gets out of jail will you still go to him? These woman did not know each other and some of them are very well respected woman not gold diggers. How about support for the VICTIMS!

Laura~ you are dead-on with your comments. That's why we have the right to a jury trial. I can guarantee maybe this time he'll be proven guilty. What goes around comes around! Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. Maybe he really is a slime-bag!!!

Only idiots accuse the victims further! I am sure they didn't ask Dr. Jain to "Please grope me"! It's insulting to society to have people be so ignorant to facts & details. Hopefully, the jury will prevail & justice will be served!!! These poor women need closure not $! I am sure they aren't gold diggers & only want money. There are other ways to obtain cash in this world. Not everyone is out for lawsuits & money. It's so easy to jump to conclusions & play the blame game. Shame on the people that do. Get your facts straight first before you go downgrading someone else & the detrimental experience they've suffered. God forbid a loved one of theirs ever suffers such an experience. Walk in their shoes first, then make these horrible comments. Intelligence is key here. Some people lack in this area!!!

To all of you defending him, answer me this? If he is so intelligent why didn't he conduct all his patient evaluations with a nurse in the room after he was accused the first time? Any honest person would have considered self-preservation and the welfare of his clients to prevent this againIF the accusations were false.........
BTW Ted Bundy was one of the most liked criminals. Infact the police officer who worked side by side with him at a crisis hotline (because he liked to help people) thought of him as her son and wanted to set him up with her daughter........Jus' sayin'

Dr. jain i hope you fry in hell

Poor dr. Jain. Such a wonderful dr being accussed of this. I pray for him and his family.

Wow people. Open your eyes. Fathers molest their own daughters everywhere. Why can you not accept with so many victims coming forward that this "dr" is just a sexual predator. Pedophilia knows no racial educational economic etc boundaries. Scum bags are all over. Watch and keep your children close. It's a scary world. And Shari. I'm with you

I'm not sure what this case and pedophilia have to do with each other. Yes, he is a pediatrician, but the story clearly states that the women were between 22 to about 30.
Dr. Jain will get his day in court if he pleads not guilty. Hopefully the truth will come out and the verdict will reflect that...either way.

The doctor allegedly touched her and two years later she is allegedly so traumatized by being touched that she is severely depressed, can't sleep, can't eat, can't go to work and can't function as a mother or contributing member of society.  Did the doctor touch her?  I don't know.  Are her symptoms real?  Combat veterans experience these symptoms.  Violent rape victims experience these symptoms.  Do people who have been touched in a busy doctor's office experience these symptoms?  Sounds a little over the top . . .

There is no proof. It's their word against his.

I've been going to Hedges since the mid 70's. I know all the faults and I know all the good points. I've taken my kids to see Dr. Jain. I read these comments and can see both sides- Just because someone is great 99.9% of the time, doesn't mean they are immune loosing control that 1/10 of a percent.

England is considering a law that would shield both victim and accused from public reports until court decision. Why do we need a have a law made to follow this common-sense approach?

The problem with all of you thinking that he is guilty is that as far as I can see, none of you have had him as a pediatrician. Accordingly, all you stereotypical critics do not recognize this as a individual case; he is a person. Observe his patients testimony; they do not label his behavior as sexually offensive. While of course he must be tried, it is my belief that all you opposing him and his innocence are working with a simple conditional logic- flawed logic. You critics seem to believe that if some doctors are tried and found to be guilty of a felony, then all doctors accused of similar actions are guilty. I am only a 16 year old, and I am on the whole astounded at the simplistic way most of you have viewed this, especially those of you resorting to profanity. The profane is only a mark of those who cannot undergo but forego complex thought process. If this sample of comments is at all representative of the world, then I can honestly shame I am ashamed to be in it. THINK before you act. Those who have thought have my respect. Lastly, this harsh speculation should end. What reason do any of you have to judge him for what a select few say? What is this world, and where has it gone.

IT IS AWFUL FUNNY THAT PEOPLE WHO ARE ACCUSING THIS MAN OF BEING GUILTY DO NOT EVEN KNOW HIM.HE HAS DONE NOTHING BUT GIVEN THE BEST CARE TO MY 2 DAUGHTERS FOR MANY MANY YRS! THIS JUST MAKES ME SICK,THEN TO SEE HIS PICTURE POSTED TOO LIKE HES BEEN PROOVEN GUILTY ALREADY.MY PRAYERS ARE WITH YOU DR JAIN.

Parents are present when a pediatrician sees their child. He would have to of groped these kids right in front of them. Why would they not have called the police at the time ut happened? I would have had him arrested right when it happened. Im not defending him, just trying to understand what happened.

how could someone write that they hope he frys in hell! that's a truly terrible thing to say. i hope "sharri" doesn't have children and is teaching them to damn a person to hell!

i agree with eric blair on his gold digger comment since i use to know one of "victims" and that's exactly what she is. These girls will get their day in court. I will continue to take my child to dr. Jain since i feel he is an outstanding Dr.

Why would several different people complain and give the same account of how he violates them. This is the same thing that happened over 10 yrs ago with this guy. He chooses who he is going to violate. I hope he is found guilty this time and he should lose his license

cal pickup
obviously youhave never taken your child to dr. jain so you have no idea of the kind of man he is. people have been found quilty of crimes they never committed and sat in jail for years only to be later found innocent. it happens all the time!

Nichole you are right that i have not taken my kids to him, nor will I. i am VERY familiar with the prior investigation, arrest and trial and all i will saw is those who go to this Dr do so at their own peril. He is a dangerous guy.

My thought is if this had happened to the one girl before why oh why did she go back to Dr Jain...She should have complained at the time it happened...People don't mind coming out and compaining about a charge but not to make a complait about a Dr. groping you is ridiculus....Like the attention than and liking it now,,,Maybe

Innocent until proven guilty. It doesn't take much to make a false statement that can ruin a person's professional career as well as his life. Even if proven innocent later, the suspicion is out there. You can't "unring a bell." Cases such as this should not get the public attention they do until the truth can be unfolded in court. If he's guilty, then he should receive just punishment. A rush to judgement serves no purpose.

One time, I can believe it may have been a personal thing... Six different people, I would have to believe he did something inapropriate. Doesn't matter what I or any of you think, it will be up to 12 people and a judge to decide his fate. I too have taken my child to Dr Jain, and never had a problem. That doesn't mean that the person in the next room had the same experience. Lets all calm down and let the justice system do its job. If he is guilty or not, it is what it is and the truth will come out in the end. If 6 total have come forward, how many more out there are too embarassed or scared to come forward? We'll never know...

I PERSONALLY HAVE WORKED RIGHT NEXT TO DR.JAIN ..IM SORRY TO SAY IT BUT YOU HAVE TO LOOK AT THE SOCIOECONOMIC STATUS OF THESE WOMEN!! A LAWSUIT WILL SURELY GET THEIR BILLS PAID! DR.JAIN IS HARDLY EVER ALONE IN HIS OFFICE..ALL PEDIATRICIANS HAVE THE PARENT HOLD THE CHILD ON THERE LAP..TO CHECK EARS,THROATS ECT....ITS AN AWKWARD POSITION, SO IF YOUR BREAST WAS GROPED WHILE HOLDINGYOUR CHILD THAT IS NOT MOLESTATION!!! THERE ARE NO ALLEGATIONS OF RAPE OR ANYTHING FARTHER THAN A GROPE!!! GIVE ME A BREAK! HE IS A GREAT MD....HE WILL BE RUINED AFTER THIS. UNTIL THERE IS EVIDENCE INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY!

I SO AGREE YOU WITH YOU RN! DR JAIN IS THE BEST DR AROUND AND WILL PROBABLY NEVER PRACTICE AGAIN! I WANT TO SEE PROOF OF GUILT.SO UNTIL PEOPLE HAVE THAT AND CAN PROOVE IT QUIT SAYING HES GUILTY! RN YOU SAID IT PERFECTLY ABOUT THE MONEY STATUS!

Has anyone looked into the background of Ms. Schubbe? The previous lawsuit was a joke, too. Dr. Jain is a very caring pediatrician, one of the few around that goes above and beyond for his patients. RN is right, it's a get rich quick witch hunt. We have a word for women like this....

i will continue to pray for Dr Jain and his family.

I've been takeing my daughter for 8 years at hedgis clinic seeing dr. Jain , he is a great doctor , you will not find anyone dr wise that will take there time , and not be in a rush to get to the other room , why I say this is for the fact I am a medical card user , many dr 's are in a hurry when they know someone in the next room has hmo , I've seen it done many of time , dr jain treats his patients equal , and always found time to fit my daughter in when I called when she has been sick , I've never got a bad vibe off dr jain , always did the best for my daugter in every single way for 8 years , I will pray for dr jains speedy return back to work , hope all works out , my prayers are with you dr jain !

Just in case you missed it on any of the other posts, those in support of Dr. Jain can express so on the petition to reinstate his license. Find it at: http://www.change.org/petitions/the-illinois-department-of-financial-and-professional-regulation-reinstate-the-medical-license-of-dr-kishor-n-jain-2#

is this inappropriate? he asked my wife after a pelvic exam...."what is a anchovie?(no answer).....a fish that smells like a finger." then he said .."hey oh!"

Your outta here fatty. This is an adult. Discussion. Your comment makes me sick.

A good question to ask: if these parents are being touched, why the hell would they continue to bring their children to see him?? Also, he was my pediatrician and I continued to see him till all of this happened (me being 21). He never did anything out of the ordinary with me. That's not to say these women are lying, but wouldn't you think (for the ones who are patients themselves) that they would have reported right away, or simply chose another doctor!? Wait, why would you continue to see a doctor that "takes advantage of you" lol k.. Anyone can say something happened to them, and in Frankfort area, I'm sure many will jump on the bandwagon with all of this. Let justice be served either way, if he's wrong he's wrong and should be punished for his doings, if not leave him alone.
