Doctor Suspended for Sexual Contact with Patient

 The Mississippi Board of Medical Licensure temporarily suspended the license of Dr. Reginald Rigsby of Madison  on November for engaging in sexual contact with a patient.  No hearing was held on the suspension. 

Dr. Rigsby consented to an indefinite suspension of his license in 1995 for sexual misconduct but managed to get reinstated in 1999.  The decades passed until a social worker submitted a complaint against Dr. Rigsby to the Board. 

The order states the Board: 

received a complaint from a licensed clinical social worker providing services to a certain patient in the Meridian, Mississippi area, Patient A, who wished to report sexual contact between Licensee and Patient A based on concerns that Licensee had committed professional sexual misconduct in his sexual contact with Patient A; and

WHEREAS, the Board’s Investigative Staff spoke with Patient A, who reported thatLicensee, while engaged in a bona fide physician-patient relationship, kissed him on the ""cheek and mouth, and hugged him while rubbing his clothed leg and/or penis on Patient A; and

WHEREAS, the conduct described by Patient A and attributed to Licensee, would constitute acts of professional sexual misconduct; and

WHEREAS, an expert was consulted and allowed to review all relevant materials, to include past treatment documents, resulting in a determination that Licensee represents an immediate threat to the public health and safety;... 

The Board continued the indefinite suspension after holding a hearing December 8.   Dr. Rigsby can apply for reinstatement after one year.

The 1995 suspension was due to things he did to patients he was seeing at River Oaks. As was reported at the time, he would inject his male victims and perform oral sex on them when they were out cold. Didn’t get found out till someone woke up a little too soon. Went to school with him in seventh grade. He was a weird kid.

Please relocate out of Mississippi . Same physician did same action several years ago. He continued to bring shame on himself the profession , the community , family and friends.

'Divorce', 12:27? You think this is the first notice she had of his inclination?

Patient A, if he was mature enough and fit, should have administered initial harsh punishment immediately, as a defensive measure, then called police.

A huge investment in time and money is required to become a medical doctor. What a shame to blow it all by fooling around with a patient.

Why don't they treat drug and alcohol addicted doctors the same way instead of allowing them to attend a brief program and stay in the operating room? Are those guys not a danger to patients? If allowed to treat patients during or after a treatment program they should, at minimum, be required to submit to random drug/alcohol analysis.

Social Worker. Receiving services. Is this a vulnerable adult? A.G's office doing anything in that area?

7:52 - Social workers, among a multitude of others, are required by law to report to the A.G.'s office any known or suspected incidents of abuse of a 'vulnerable adult'. And the A.G.'s office is required by law to investigate.

I think someone just has something against the man i have visited his office a many times thru the years and he always has hug and kiss me on the cheek and never did it in a sexual way if you read your bible it tells you to greet your brothers with a holy kiss and that’s all i ever looked at it as but for the plaintiff i think he is full of Bs!!!!!!!

It is very unfair that everyone jumps into conclusion and automatically think of the defendant as guilty. Dr Rigsby is a hard working individual who has change many lives and have saved hundreds of lives throughout his career. His compassion for his patients and love for medicine is exemplary. Rigsby is a professor and has helped training and teaching dozens of resident doctors in the last decade. I have known him for a few years as a colleague and a teacher. I do not know what happened 30 years ago but people make mistakes, he has paid the price for it. 30 years is a long time and people change. I believe this individual accusing him, had something against him, probably found out about his priors and saw an opportunity to hurt him. If you know Rigsby you would love him. Hang in there Dr. Rigsby, at the end of all this there is a good karma awaiting you.

Trollfest '09

Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.

Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).


Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.

Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".

In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.


In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.

Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.

Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!

This is definitely a Beaver production.
