Dr. Stockin, a 10-year veteran, was hired as an anesthesiologist in July 2019. The base said it stopped him from seeing patients in 2022 following the allegations but that he continued to work at the base in a different role. 

“I’m beginning to see evidence of everyone’s circling the wagons and protecting Big Army as opposed to the soldiers and their families that protect us,” Ryan Guilds, a lawyer representing multiple victims who have accused Dr. Stockin of assault, told KCPQ. 

Mr. Guilds said there are more than 20 victims, according to the report. 

According to KCPQ, the Army has said charges will be reviewed for a preliminary hearing.

At the Becker’s 32nd Annual Meeting: The Business and Operations of ASCs, taking place October 29-31 in Chicago, ASC leaders, surgeons and healthcare executives will explore strategies to drive growth, enhance operational performance, navigate reimbursement challenges and prepare for the future of ambulatory surgery.
