This is 36-year-old obstetrician, Kirk Michael Smith.
Kirk Smith was a well-respected obstetrician who practiced with the SouthCrest Medical Group in Tulsa, Oklahoma after graduating from the University of Iowa in 1999.
Healthgrades gives Dr. Kirk Michael Smith a good score, with no disciplinary actions in the last five years and no malpractice claims.
They might want to update that, for a number of reasons.
Healthgrades didn’t quite pick up on the fact that in November of 2001, Kirk Smith was denied a medical license, based on allegations of inappropriate contact with some of his female patients during his residency at a hospital in Kansas City, Missouri. The complaints were from women who all mentioned different levels of “weirdness” regarding Kirk Smith’s examinations. One patient reported that Smith “cupped” her breasts. Two patients reported feeling uncomfortable during pelvic exams, and another during a rectal exam. Of course there was nobody else in the room at the time of the examination.
After the Kansas City residency program placed Kirk Smith on leave in November of 2000 due to the allegations, he began seeing a psychiatrist, who diagnosed him with obsessive compulsive disorder.
According to the psychiatrist’s report, Smith testified that because of his OCD, he was extremely rigid and focused during the exams. This caused some of his patients “to feel uncomfortable and misinterpret his actions.”
Later, Kirk Smith was accepted into the University of Iowa’s residency program, and Iowa’s medical board granted Smith a restricted license in April 2002. There were conditions, however, as the board said Dr. Kirk Smith should always be accompanied by a chaperone while treating female patients and that he should definitely continue to see a psychiatrist.
That’s good medicine right there.
Was he your doctor? Would it creep you out a little bit to know that your obstetrician was also a child molester? Would it be a little weird to remember Dr. Kirk Smith’s hands on you, the same hands that he used to molest a little girl?
Dr. Kirk Michael Smith is married to a woman who brought a 10-year-old son and a 6-year-old daughter into the marriage. As Dr. Laura would tell you, stepfathers and stepmothers aren’t all that great a thing, and the statistics tend to support her argument, with stepfathers making up a sizable percentage of sexual abusers.
The journal Pediatrics reported in 2002 that:
Children residing in households with adults unrelated to them were 8 times more likely to die of maltreatment than children in households with two biological parents. Risk of maltreatment death was elevated for children residing with step, foster, or adoptive parents.
And research published in the journal Child Abuse and Neglect found that:
…a girl is seven times more likely to be molested by a stepfather than a biological father. What is more, the nature of sexual abuse by stepfathers was more severe than by biological fathers.
So I think you know what’s coming next.
On the 25th of July, 2008, a friend of Dr. Kirk Smith’s stepson stayed overnight for a sleepover, as 10-year-old boys do on a regular basis.
Well, in the morning, after Kirk Smith’s wife had left for a while, the boys got up and came downstairs to look for the 6-year-old girl. Kirk Smith got a little upset with the boys and yelled a bit, telling them to go back upstairs for a while.
Later, the boys found the door to the master bedroom had been locked. Kirk Smith was presumably inside the master bedroom with his stepdaughter.
45 minutes after that, the 6-year-old girl came out of her stepfather’s bedroom, crying.
Because his sister was upset, the 10-year-old boy and his friend asked the girl what was wrong. According to the girl, her stepdad, Dr. Kirk Michael Smith, had been doing bad things to her.
This 10-year-old boy’s friend was a good friend, and they talked for a while about what had been going on. The 10-year-old told his friend that something very similar had happened two weeks ago, but that he hadn’t told anybody.
Well, now they told somebody.
The 10-year-old’s friend called his dad, who called the police, who came to the house that Kirk built.
Police had the girl examined and signs were found that she had been sexually molested, which is a wonderful treat for a mother to find when she comes home.
Dr. Kirk Michael Smith was arrested that morning, on the 26th of July, 2008, and booked into the local jail, charged with two felony counts of lewd molestation and two counts of forcible sodomy. Detectives have gone through Kirk Smith’s house and taken a video camera, disposable cameras and his computer, which will all be examined with a fine-toothed comb.
SouthCrest Medical Group has decided that they do not want to employ child molesters and put Kirk Smith on suspension until the investigation is finished up. The medical group was good enough to point out that until he was arrested, Kirk Smith had been in no trouble with the law and had given no indication as to his predilection for pedophilia.
Kirk Smith had no problem posting his $200,000 bail and is now free.

Mandi I don’t know how it there goes, but here that kind of thing is not an usual thing! I don’t either know is it a good thing but I can’t see step parents a bad thing. I rather would encourage every parent to think very carefully what kind of a man/woman they are taking to as a partner/stepmom/stepdad. I also think that some times bad way of handeling divorce and arguing can affect on child’s life with their parents and step parents.

I am a step dad, and have been for 12 years. My “step-daughter” is now 14 years old. I take total offense to that remark.
admin - Of course you would. Any good step-father would. The problem is, not all step-fathers are good ones, just like not all step-mothers are good ones. The statistics do not lie, and of course the bad step-parents always seem to get the attention. A friend of mine at work is, by all accounts, a fantastic step-father.

My dad is a good stepfather. I actually tend to forget my older half-siblings are, in fact, half-siblings. He’s raised them since they were young and refers to them as his children, like me and my full brothers. It’s a shame that a rotten minority of stepparents give the whole of step-parenthood a bad name.

Statistics don’t lie, as you say — and they show that *most* stepparents are in the excellent-to-adequate category. Dr. Laura, as usual, emphasizes the upsetting minority for the ratings kick.
Statistically, the majority of people who abuse children are family and/or friends. Does that make family and friends bad ideas?

Though I know it won’t be popular….know your mate before you get married, and once you make a commitment to marriage, STAY MARRIED!!! I know there are extreme cases, and I do not expect anyone to stay in an abusive relationship, but for the sakes of your children, don’t leave their father because “you aren’t in love with him anymore”.
Kids need their mom and dad to be together. Period.
And if you get divorced, please, please, please don’t leave your precious little girls (or boys!) with your boyfriend, new husband, male friend, uncle, brother, guy you met on the street….you get the picture.
Kids first.
Yes, I know there are many great step parents out there.

Finally someone who can take a fucking joke.
Instant Death for this piece of shit…nothing else to say. This man was no ordinary man…this guy was a doctor you would normilay trust with your child’s life. As a father of 4, you best god damn believe i investigated and interviewed the people who would be the ones to bring my children into this world.
This is not an everyday thing, so he held a very trusted position. His actions have violated every precept that society holds towards those…the “givers of life” doctors. If anything, he should be dragged out of jail, placed against a wall, and shot in the most violate, public way possible.
Again, those who voted NO, trolls or otherwise, think on this: Next time this may be your child in the hands of some sick fuck like this. No “almighty god”, no ancient book of ridiculous superstitions is going to protect them….it’s up to you.

No, she gave birth to my children. And unless you are a board certified OBGYN…or whatever the fuck it is, neither did you…if you’ve had children anyway.
Neither my wife, nor I, are doctors…so Id say no. Any woman can give birth to a child….the trick is to have the baby in a supportive environment….aka THE HOSPITAL or with a doctor attending. I have 5 children…and after five I know no more about delivering them than i did the first….can’t speak for my heart….she was high on whatever drugs they give women when they have to pass a watermellon out of their…um love holes. So i know for a fact she doesn’t know more than I lol.
Back to the point….NO, nor has any woman who even pretends to follow modern medicine…..midwives and the like are a thing for the dark ages….the doctors AKA ob’s are in charge. So while a woman will nuture and grow a child within her womb, these days it is the doctor themselves who bring children into this world. This only means they each and every one of them must be virginal, prestine and clear……who in their right mind would wish their child being brought into this world by a human shark….a gd sicko pedo!

Per the Tulsa World: Dr. Pervert was accused several times of inappropriate sexual contact during his residency program in Missouri, reports show.
Despite the accusations, the Oklahoma Board of Medical Licensure and Supervision licensed the doctor, Kirk Michael Smith.
In November 2001, the Iowa Board of Medical Examiners denied Smith’s application for a license, citing allegations of inappropriate contact with female patients during a little more than a year at a residency program in Kansas City, Mo.
According to a report from the board, four female patients complained about unwanted contact during exams with Smith. One patient reported that Smith “cupped” her breasts. Two patients reported feeling uncomfortable during pelvic exams, and another during a rectal exam. No chaperone was present during any of the exams.
After the Kansas City residency program placed Smith on leave in November 2000, he began treatment with a psychiatrist, who diagnosed him with obsessive compulsive disorder, according to the Iowa report.
According to the report, Smith testified that because of his OCD, he was extremely rigid and focused during the exams, causing the patients “to feel uncomfortable and misinterpret his actions.”
Smith was later accepted into the University of Iowa’s residency program, and Iowa’s medical board granted Smith a restricted license in April 2002. The board said he should always be accompanied by a chaperone while treating female patients and should continue seeing a psychiatrist.
Lyle Kelsey, executive director of Oklahoma’s medical board, said Tuesday that the board was “well aware” of Smith’s past.
The board required Smith to receive further psychiatric counseling in Atlanta before it granted him a training license in May 2003, Kelsey said.
“The board wanted something a little more current that showed he would be OK to practice,” he said.
Additionally, Smith was in a “very supervised” setting and was required to continue treatment, Kelsey said, adding that “based on all that, he was safe to enter residency training.”
In 2006, Smith ended his residency and began regular practice. Oklahoma’s medical board lists no criminal history or disciplinary problems.
Smith has practiced family medicine for about two years at Tulsa’s SouthCrest Hospital. A hospital spokeswoman, Melissa Bogle, said he was suspended after his arrest.
If convicted, Bogle said, Smith would be fired. Additionally, he would likely lose his medical license, Kelsey said.

And just who the hell appoints Oklahoma’s medical board? How DARE these people decide that it’s OK for a guy with FOUR complaints against him, to go on out there and have “permission” to touch strangers?
FOUR sexual related complaints in a year? Hello??? Everyone knows that relatively few women actually will complain about an exam. They “assume” that the doctor knows what he’s doing, and it’s ok. If four women came forward in a year, that is significant!
This board allowed a predator to go out there with THEIR stamp of approval. I say they should be sued.

What are the laws about OBs anyway? Every pelvic exam I’ve ever had has been supervised by a female nurse, regardless of doctor’s gender or place of employment. Maybe that’s decided by the state? Should be a given, and I always thought it was, especially for residents. This dickwad should never have been given a license to begin with. Fail. Yeah, the board deserves some rough speculum.
As fucked up as this story is, this is my favorite part and I chuckled a little too:

But - hello? the article says there is physical evidence. That is much harder for a little kid to pull off.

Amy reply on August 16th, 2008:
Sadly i know of a woman who was raped repeatedly year after year by her mothers boyfriend. Finally she told her mother who`s reaction was: if your going to make that sort of a accusation your going to have to be the one to tell the police.
BITCH. She made it quite obvious that she didnt believe her daughter.
When the police came, the girl, thinking she wouldnt be believed no matter what she said, clammed up and said NOTHING.
So the rape continued until she finally left home and went onto a life of drug abuse and prostitution.
The saddest thing is that she now has two children of her own and hasnt a clue as to how to be a good mother to them and is failing miserably at it.
Those boys were so brave to speak up and the mother needs to be dragged outside and shot and then shot again, as does any mum who would believe a child making such a complaint is lying.
Mazzi reply on August 16th, 2008:
Amy, kids DO sometimes make stuff up. And sometimes, parents (especially moms who want a divorce w/ everything) will plant ideas. And, sometimes, well-meaning therapists will plant ideas - very vivid ideas - into a kid’s head.
These days, kids have so much more knowledge than they ever have, and most kids, by the age of 10 or so, know all about sex, what a child molestor is, etc. etc. etc… If they hate their step-daddy, making up a story might not seem like such a big deal to a troubled kid. They certainly have no idea how incredibly devestating a false accusation can be.
So? What is the mom to do if the child claims something horrible, and there is no obvious physical sign? I guess it’s this: She has no choice but to try and determine if the kid is telling the truth, by gently asking questions and putting two and two together. Then perhaps have a physical evaluation. And then, if it’s true, press charges like crazy!
Unfortunately, it all comes back to the bad parenting skills that we see so often. The mother is likely to either 1) smack the shit out of the kid and call them a liar or 2) attack the man, use the kid as a weapon, destroy whatever family the kid has, and leave the child sitting there bewildered and feeling a huge amount of guilt. And that is regardless of whether the abuse was real or fake. Or 3) hide her loser head in the sand, and pretend that the scumball is not helping himself to her kids as payment for her room and board.
It was well know within his residency program at University of Oklahoma that Dr. Kirk M. Smith was a sick and creepy wierdo. The major wierdness that was covered up at OU during his OU residency and OU OB fellowship, was that Dr. Smith took care of a patient, delivered her baby and then married her.

As far as step dads go - if step dad and bio-dad are friends, then both will look out for the children, less chance that step dad will treat the children badly.
If step dad has an axe to grind with real dad, the children may be the battle ground. Such sick fucks that use children need a striaght trip to hell, plain and simple.
this POS needs a few nights with his Bubba-Daddy as to prepare him for hell.

It becomes a sad day when you can no longer trust a Doctor, someone who you thought had your best interest to get well and become healthy. Each day I come to realize that hell is here on Earth.

Mazzi reply on August 15th, 2008:
This guy is sounding like the typical child predator.
Plan:
-Find a woman with low self-esteem
-Make sure woman has children who have not been treated well in the past
-Offer woman a better lifestyle than she had before
-Remind woman continually how bad her life was before, and how much you are giving her
-Subtly remind her that if she doesn’t cooperate, she’ll be back on the street with nothing
-Start your nasty business with the kids
-Tell the woman that the kids are bad bad children, and that they are liars, and if they don’t “behave”, you’ll have to throw them all out on the street (don’t admit that you are at ALL at fault - they are just BAD kids)
-lather, rinse, repeat
A woman with three kids from different daddies is not likely to be the most self-assured female out there. And the kids are statistically likely to have been abused/neglected already.
Many men have no natural instinct to be good fathers to other men’s children. Just like animals, it is survival of the fittest, and just like in nature, it’s OK to kill those infidel offspring. (Humans are the only ones who generally RAPE them, though although defining “rape” in nature is a tough one).
And, my apologies to the men who ARE good step-fathers. There are (fortunately) many more of them than the other kind, but the other kind are still a significant number. And when they are SPECIFICALLY targeting the mothers who qualify, it’s a disaster waiting to happen.
It’s not rocket science.
And, the kids being in state custody? That is not really a sigh of relief in my opinion. God only knows whats gonna happen to them now.
[Reply]
There is always an idiot (or 12) that think people like this don’t deserve hell. It doesn’t even matter about the whole stepfather thing. What matters is he sodomized a small child, so even if he has a pencil di** that had to hurt like hell. All I can hope is that some guy hung like a horse does the same to him in jail, if he ever goes back, so he can know how that poor little girl felt.
