LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) - A Lincoln psychiatrist accused of having affairs with two patients and revealing confidential information regarding his patients has had his medical license suspended.
A hearing for Dr. Jasung Kim has been set for March 25.
The Department of Health and Human Services says Kim's license was suspended Feb. 4.
A message left Tuesday by The Associated Press for him at his clinic was not immediately returned.
Authorities say Kim had relationships with two female patients in 2009. The first allegedly occurred in May, the second from July to September. Authorities say he obtained the latter patient's phone number from patient records.
On one occasion, according to the documents, Kim shared his patients' names and issues with that woman.
