When Dominique Lee got the results of the toxicology report confirming she had been drugged by an eminent doctor before he indecently assaulted her, she resolved to go to the police, even if it meant her career as a radiation oncologist would be over.
“It was clear I was harmed with intent,” Lee says, speaking publicly for the first time since Prof John Kearsley, the then director of radiation oncology at St George Hospital in Sydney, was convicted of indecent assault. It remains the only time a junior doctor in Australia has won such a case against a senior doctor.
