"Around 10 to 20 cancer center employees saw Martin in the act on Nov. 21, 2023, and reported him to hospital security and administrators. The Massachusetts Board of Registration in Medicine initially suspended Martin's license over the incident, but stayed the suspension after he agreed to five years of probation and other conditions."
"At the time of this incident, Dr. Martin was alone in his locked administrative office. He was standing behind his worktable, across the room from the window. This was not an act of exhibitionism; it was simply a very unfortunate lapse in judgement."
"Martin reached out to the Physicians Health Services Program of the Massachusetts Medical Society and entered into a behavioral health monitoring contract in May 2024. Martin resumed his practice in the fall of 2024 and has practiced without incident or blemish ever since."
Dr. Robert A. Martin, a Springfield neurologist, was disciplined by the Massachusetts Board of Registration in Medicine after 10 to 20 employees at Baystate Health's cancer center witnessed him masturbating in his locked office on November 21, 2023. The incident prompted hospital security reports and administrative action. Martin's medical license was initially suspended but the suspension was stayed after he agreed to five years of probation and entered a behavioral health monitoring contract through the Physicians Health Services Program. Martin resumed practice in fall 2024 without further incidents. His attorney characterized the incident as an unfortunate lapse in judgment rather than intentional exhibitionism, citing Martin's belief that he could not be seen through his office windows.
