Understatement or new PC-term?

From The Metro:

GP told acne patient to perform sex act on him as 'cure'

A "narcissistic" GP who persuaded a teenage acne patient to perform a sex act on him at his surgery was struck off the medical register today.

Dr Ashenford struck up a friendship with the girl during appointments at the Sutton Hill Medical Practice in Telford, Shropshire, to treat her acne and a bad back. During one consultation in March 2007 he touched her breasts and remarked "that was nice". A week later he told her to remove her top and perform oral sex on him at the surgery, the General Medical Council hearing was told. He went on to buy her an iPod for her birthday and meet up in cafes where they "snogged and kissed".

Dr Steven Ashenford abused his position of trust to gain gratification in a "most reprehensible way" with the sexually naive 17-year-old girl, a disciplinary panel ruled.


I dunno. Is "sexually naive" the new PC-term for "mentally subnormal" or "a bit of a go-er" or something?

Did the doctor tell her that sperm is good against acne? BTW, I once had a girlfriend who was a nurse who told me that, so it is quite possibly true.

I've been telling girls that for years myself. It's not bad as chat-up lines go..

BTS, it's a rubbish chat up line, surely? Because it means that you are telling somebody they have bad acne.

Haven't you heard of preventative medicine?

"it means that you are telling somebody they have bad acne."

Yeah but if they've got bad acne then they aren't likely to be spoiled for choice in the first place.

Thank you Ross. It's got to be better than asking them to don a bag after all..

I don't think so. It's more "think of the children" (despite such a child being considered as responsible enough to join the army or drive a car).

Bit of trivia: opera sopranos used to swallow the stuff because they thought it was good for the vocal chords.

One wonders why they bother - did he want to get struck off?

"sexually naive 17-year-old girl"

WHAT?

If you believe that, you'll swallow anything!

I live not a massive distance from Telford, and believe me it's not often that you'll hear "sexually naive 17-year-old girl" and "Sutton Hill" in the same paragraph. :-)
