Its like a joke, victim says of North Las Vegas doctors sentence

The Nevada State Board of Medical Examiners is still weighing whether a North Las Vegas doctor who pleaded guilty to lewdness involving patients may continue to practice medicine without restrictions.

The doctor, Jorge Burgos, was sentenced Thursday to three years of probation and seven days of incarceration after at least seven women came forward to report incidents of open and gross lewdness while in his examination room.

At defense attorney Crane Pomerantz’s request, Clark County District Judge Richard Scotti also agreed to allow Burgos to serve those seven days on weekends so as not to interfere with his medical practice.
