THIRD AMENDED CLASS ACTION COMPLAINT COME NOW, Plaintiffs, via pseudonyms, and file their Third and Class Action Complaint against Michael Dick (hereinafter “Dick”), Alabama Medicine & Rheumatology, Inc. (hereinafter “AM&R”), and Fictitious Party Defendants A, B, C, D, and E, and, in support thereof, show as follows: 1 DOCUMENT 136 INTRODUCTION My goal will be to help, or at least do no harm.1 The prohibition against sexual contact between a physician and a patient is well established and is embodied in the oath taken by physicians, the Hippocratic Oath.2 Prior to his license being revoked by the Alabama Board of Medical Examiners, Michael Dick did business out of Alabama Medicine & Rheumatology, Inc. in Decatur, Alabama. He practiced for a time in California but left under unknown circumstances in 2003 before arriving in Ashland, Alabama and eventually coming to reside and work in Decatur in 2004. In 2006, the Alabama Board of Medical Examiners received complaints against Dick. However, he only paid a fine, and continued to practice and see female patients. In 2007, Dick was working at Parkway Medical Center in Decatur, which is now Decatur Morgan Hospital. A hospitalized female patient filed a formal complaint against him after he tried to kiss her on the mouth while her husband was out of the room. The hospital reported that it counseled him on appropriate behavior and Dick continued to see patients. At AM&R, Dick treated patients with chronic illnesses such as fibromyalgia and arthritis, among others. Often, the Plaintiffs were seeking treatment in order to manage chronic pain. Without ongoing medical treatment, their everyday lives are difficult if not impossible to navigate. A good number of the Plaintiffs are unable to work due to the conditions that originally brought them to AM&R. AM&R accepted payments on a sliding scale, a necessity for unemployed women needing expensive treatment. Patients such as Nancy Noe, details of interactions with Dick which are more fully set out below, were limited by their circumstances in their options for treatment and 1 Hippocratic Oath. 2 Alabama Board of Medical Examiners & Medical Licensure Commission of Alabama Rules of Professional Conduct 540-X-9-.08 (1) 2 DOCUMENT 136 were subjected to years of repeated sexual assaults by Dick in order to receive the medical treatment they needed to live a normal, active life. During visits with Plaintiffs, Dick performed the following forms of sexual assault: Uninvited hugging; Rubbing of Plaintiffs’ legs, breasts, buttocks, and genitals, both above and beneath their clothing; Inappropriate comments on their looks and bodies; Kisses on the forehead, mouth, and even on their bare buttocks; Pulling off clothes or pulling clothes down to expose breasts, buttocks and genital areas unnecessarily; and Rubbing his obviously erect penis against different parts of their bodies. The above actions were performed by Dick with and without nurses in the room. These actions constitute a trespass to person as to the term appears in ALA. CODe § 6-2-34(1). Several Plaintiffs filed police reports against Dick more than a year ago. Nothing was done until finally, Michael Dick was arrested on January 29, 2018. However, he was only charged with misdemeanor sexual assault. He returned to his practice three days later to continue seeing female patients. Once the television stations aired reports of his arrest, Plaintiffs Coe, Foe, and Jane and Mary Doe came forward and filed charges with the Decatur Police Department. Other Plaintiffs have since filed police reports, as well. Michael Dick has molested, groped, and sexually assaulted dozens of women, including the named Plaintiffs, in the offices of his business, Alabama Medicine & Rheumatology. None of the Plaintiffs invited these actions, asked for them, wished for them, or gained pleasure from them. In fact, Plaintiffs have experienced extreme and ongoing physical, mental, and emotional anguish arising from Dick’s actions. Plaintiffs’ trust in Michael Dick as their doctor was turned to fear, 3 DOCUMENT 136 distress, and anxiety for which they now seek to recover. But their larger goal is to protect other women in the North Alabama community by preventing Dick from inflicting the same sort of suffering on any other potential victim. Michael Dick is not practicing medicine. Instead, he is using his business, AM&R, to prey on vulnerable women and girls, including minor children and those that are unable to protect themselves. Perhaps even worse, he has surrounded himself with a group of nurses, employees, and associates who are willing to enable and facilitate the sexual assault of the women coming to AM&R by turning a blind eye to the suffering of those women Dick has chosen to victimize. These nurses, employees, and associates will be added to this suit as soon as their identities are discovered. As of this amended filing, Michael Dick has been charged with ten counts of misdemeanor harassment, convicted of three, and is now facing felony charges. The Alabama Board of Medical Examiners has conducted an investigation into his conduct. His license to practice medicine in Alabama has been suspended. PARTIES 1.

Bankhead Ranger District Contact: Deciding Officer: District Ranger Glen D. Gaines Biological Evaluation Preparer: Biological Scientist Allison Cochran PO Box 278 Double Springs, Alabama 35553 Telephone 205-489-5111 FAX 205-489-3427 E-mail [email protected] [email protected] Type of Document Categorical Exclusion – BE Summary The proposed project will reduce midstory and understory trees and shrubs in two sites, totaling approximately 47 acres, noted on the attached maps. The project sites are located in the Black Pond and Hickory Grove communities. They are found in Forest Service management compartments 163 and 19. The sites proposed for treatment are loblolly pine stands. They were thinned in 2005 and 2006, respectively. Selected vegetation between 1 inch and 6 inches DBH will be removed in upland pine- dominant habitat. In compartment 163, the result will be an open pine stand with reduced fuel loading and advanced hardwood regeneration. In compartment 19, the result will be an open pine stand with reduced fuel loading. The result will allow for restoration and maintenance of native forest communities, including upland oak-hickory forest in compartment 163 and fire dependent pine woodlands in compartment 19. The purpose and need for the project is to improve wildlife habitat, improve conditions for native upland plants, restore and maintain native forest communities, and to decrease the risk of catastrophic wildfires by reducing fuels.

PROCEEDINGS IN HUNTSVILLE, 1819 The movement toward statehood in the Alabama Territory, created in 1817 when Mississippi was admitted as a state, formally began in March 1819 with congressional passage of the Enabling Act. That Act authorized the people of the territory to adopt a constitution and enact laws providing for a state government.
