Former Canton-Potsdam Hospital Nurse Settles Sexual Harassment Lawsuit

A former nurse, Theresa Vine,settled her sexual harassment lawsuit against Canton-Potsdam Hospital and psychiatrist Ramon E. Ravelo. According to details which have been published,
Vine, worked as Dr. Ravelo's case manager in the hospital's psychiatric clinic however things began to good very bad for her. She alleged that she was repeatedly threatened and verbally abused while working for Dr. Ravelo.

Additional allegations in the lawsuit include the hospital becoming aware of how Dr. Ravelo treated other females in an unprofessional manner. In once instance the hospital moved one woman to another department after she complained about him. Dr. Ravelo would also loose his temper to the point where he would hit walls and caused a mirror to crash to the floor and fall to pieces. This guy sounds nuts! I am glad to see the case settled and Vine can move on with her life.

"When Theresa Vine approached Dr. Ravelo with work-related questions, he would become enraged," "He would yell at her, belittle her and mock her. Day by day, the level of Dr. Ravelo's anger and abuse escalated." According to the lawsuit

For some additional information on Dr. Ravelo he faces 40 misdemeanor charges for reportedly falsifying patient records and hoarding prescription medications. This guy sounds like he was crazy and I am glad they are removing him from the situation.
