A doctor in West Virginia convicted of sticking his tongue in the mouth of an elderly patient, who then partially bit off the physician’s tongue, will not serve any time in prison.

Dr. Kenneth Seen, 53, of Spencer, W. Va., was sentenced to two years probation on Monday.

WSAZ-TV reports that he must also register as a sex offender for 10 years.

Seen was also found guilty of sexually motivated battery last month.

2. Maybe a new way

of taking a patient's temp . You know he could have gotten away with it if he had told the person to drop their drawers and bend over-temp taken the old-fashioned way.

3. And he wouldn't have nearly lost his thermometer

unless the patient had had some sort of denture accident.
