UTMC Doctor Accused of Breaking Into Home

Reading between the lines, it sounds like some sort of sexual motivation with the sister, maybe even with her being underage. But, that is total speculation on my part.

That is an odd story.

Will be interesting to see what further details come out. Talk about throwing away everything you've worked for...yikes!

Sounds like somebody has a good brother.

The "walking around shoeless a mile from the crime scene" aspect on the part of the doctor-perp is the weirdest component of this story. My guess is the good doctor (maybe "not-so-good doctor" would be a better fit) has some mental health issues.

I'm with JonnyMac on this one. That's the first thing that I thought of, too...

I was guessing that he was intentionally shoeless in order to be quieter when walking through the house, and when he was chased out, he didn't have time to stop and put his shoes back on.

If the shoes don't fit. You must acquit.

UTMC? At first I was confused but then I read the article and it was confirmed..."the former Medical College of Ohio".

Can anyone explain wtf is it with the blade and "the former Medical College of Ohio"?

Are you referring to "The former Toledo Blade?"

I think the Blade does that because it was MCO for so many years. Many, many people still refer to it as MCO. MCO is easier to say. UTMC doesnt exactly roll off the tongue. They were idiots for changing it, even though the name change was in their minds necessitated by the affiliation of the medical school with The University of Toledo.

If your laying in the back of an ambulance and able to talk, and MCO is where you want to go, you're going to say "Take me to MCO." and the driver will instantly know where to drive. You're not going to say take me to the UTMC.

Case in point: Franklin Park is still Franklin Park to most Toledoens. Westfield Shopping Town is about the dumbest name change I've come across. I don't care how long they put the Westifeld Shopping Town sign out there it will never change how Toledoens actually refer to it.

I believe one of the Blocks was instrumental in the bringing of the MCO to Toledo in the first place, and there is building there named for the family. Also, many believe that the Blade has it out for UT.

You realize Westfield is the name of the company that owns the mall right? It's called Westfield Franklin Park.

Yes slowsol - I know that. It was first renamed Westfield Shopping Town, as are their other shopping centers. They later renamed it AGAIN, after hearing opposition.

Right -- my spouse, a lifelong Toledoan, said that "Shopping Town" was the worst possible choice for a (corporate-mandated) name change, because there had been a cheapo discount store here named Shopping Town and that most people would remember the downscale connotation.

The Blade calls it that purely because of the Block connection.

The Publisher said so. That's why. If he was naked, and said that he was wearing suit of beautiful clothes, the editorial staff would compliment the fine cloth and stitching.

If Daniel Drake were alive, The original Medical College of Ohio. (Not the one from 1964, but the one from 1819.

From Ohiohistorycentral.org:

Medical College of Ohio

Daniel Drake founded the Medical College of Ohio in 1819 in Cincinnati. He also helped create the Commercial Hospital and Lunatic Asylum for the State of Ohio in 1820. Prior to the Medical College's establishment, most doctors learned their vocation through an apprenticeship system. Private doctors trained their students. Drake hoped to bring some of the finest doctors in the United States to Cincinnati to provide students with multiple perspectives on the practice of medicine. He also hoped that a diverse faculty would encourage discussion of medical practices and hopefully improve patient care.

Drake served as president of the Medical College until 1823. The Medical College's faculty developed a strong dislike for Drake and voted to remove him as president in 1822, but the faculty members reversed their decision due to public uproar. Unwanted at the Medical College, Drake accepted a position at Transylvania University.

The first several decades of the Medical College of Ohio's existence was rocky to say the least. The various personalities involved with the institution commonly clashed. Daniel Drake returned to Cincinnati in 1826, opening the Cincinnati Eye Infirmary in 1827. Over the next several years, he tried to form his own medical school in Cincinnati, hoping to drive the Medical College out of business. In 1835, he succeeded in establishing a medical program at Cincinnati College, but it collapsed in 1839. During the 1840s, Drake served as a professor of medicine at the Louisville Medical College in Kentucky. In 1849, he accepted a professorship at the Medical College of Ohio, only to resign that same year. In 1852, he rejoined the faculty at the Medical College of Ohio but died a few days after receiving his appointment. Another disgruntled faculty member, Reuben Mussey, established the Miami Medical College in 1852. For the remainder of the nineteenth century, the Medical College of Ohio and the Miami Medical College competed for students.

In 1896, the Medical College of Ohio merged with the University of Cincinnati. The Miami Medical College also joined the University of Cincinnati in 1909, creating the Ohio-Miami Medical College of the University of Cincinnati. In 1920, the college changed its name to the College of Medicine of the University of Cincinnati.

So, really... University of Cincinnati was the first "former Medical College of Ohio."

I think that the one in Cincinnati would be the "former MCO" and the one in Toledo would be the "latter MCO."
