Doc suit: Barred by n.Y.-Presby for rejecting perv boss

A QUEENS DOCTOR is getting a raw deal after she rebuffed her boorish boss’s creepy come-ons and a stomach-turning attempt to get her to perform oral sex on him, a new lawsuit charges.

Dr. Lisa Rosenberg is suing Dr. Daniel Skupski and New York-Presbyterian Medical Group/Queens, saying she was wrongfully barred from her 30-year practice because she didn’t give in to Skupski’s icky overtures.

Her lawsuit says Skupski, the chair of the group’s OB-GYN department, forced her “to make an evil choice” — submit to “uninvited sexual demands or suffer career debilitating retribution.”

The unwanted advances began at a 2016 Christmas party, where Skupski called Rosenberg “the prettiest attending physician on staff” and suggested she drink more Pinot grigios so he could take her home, the lawsuit says.

Rosenberg (photo), 61, told Skupski, 59, he was making her uncomfortable. But he persisted, groping her breasts and, later, her rear end during group photos, according to the lawsuit filed Wednesday in Brooklyn Federal Court.

Skupski became “cold and aloof” after the incident, the lawsuit says.

Nearly a year later, Rosenberg was discussing unrelated issues with a human resources employee when the employee suddenly said she received a patient complaint about Rosenberg smelling of alcohol.

Rosenberg emphatically disputed the charge, the suit said. When Rosenberg talked that day with Skupski about the bogus claim, he told her “maybe you made the wrong decision at the Christmas party,” the lawsuit says. Rosenberg insisted on a breath test. That’s when Skupski “grinned and began to unzip his pants, crudely suggesting that she treat his penis as a Breathalyzer and perform oral sex on him,” the lawsuit says. “You are disgusting!” a horrified Rosenberg said, according to the suit. Rosenberg underwent medical evaluations that day, which showed she wasn’t impaired at all. She didn’t get an alcohol test, the lawsuit says. However, the hospital barred her from returning to her job and treating patients. It said it won’t reinstate her until she admits she was impaired, the lawsuit says. She is also not receiving her salary.

Rosenberg, a former Navy lieutenant and medical officer, said she refuses to admit to something that’s not true. She says she has multiple evaluations showing there was no trace of alcohol or impairment.

Her lawyer, Michael Willemin of Wigdor LLP, said after his client rejected Skupski’s advances, the medical organization and Skupski “did everything they could to destroy a practice that she spent 30 years building by fabricating an outrageous and demonstrably false lie.

“This sort of behavior is precisely why women fear speaking out against their harassers and attackers, and we look forward to holding defendants accountable for their conduct,” he added.

New York-Presbyterian did not immediately respond to a request for a comment.
