Dr. Sevinor Fans Please note!

ajsidney12 — Fri, 23 Sep 2016 11:57:26 GMT

From the Boston Herald, today:

I don't know if the link will work so I cut and pasted the first paragraph for you:

A famed 70-year-old plastic surgeon from Nahant was busted buying crack Sunday night from a dealer in Lynn who was being shadowed by cops, police said.

Cops arrested Dr. Sheldon J. Sevinor on Sunday evening after an anonymous tipster told Lynn police that Johnnie Albert, 61, was selling crack cocaine from his brown Toyota, secreting the drugs away in a blue Mentos container, according to court papers.

Wow! The story doesn't say what kind of jail time, if any, he'd be facing for that kind of arrest. I'd imagine a doctor found buying crack would at least face a temporary suspension of his license, but I don't know that for sure. Wouldn't they have to suspend it while investigating just to be sure they're not letting someone operate while under the influence?

I googled "penalty for possession of a class B substance in MA." After checking a couple of web sites for law firms, it seems that he'll get some kind of probation, assuming this is his first offense. One site says you get up to a year in jail if it's your first offense, but that's the maximum. My guess would be probation and maybe he'll have to complete some kind of education program, but I really don't know.

All I know is that his product sold on HSN was a real BUST to me. :0

What the . . .???? I am shocked at this but I guess it might be more common than I realize. I have heard about doctors and dentists being addicted to and/or arrested for drugs several times in the last few months here locally. I love his Face List Serum, I have really good results with it!!

I saw the article in the Boston Herald and I kept thinking I know that name. Then I went to HSN site and saw his name and products. I'm wondering if they'll keep sellinig his products now. Sorry but a doctor buying / using crack isn't someone I'd want to purchase anything from.

@Ms X I am by no stretch a lawyer, but I would think the license would at the very least be temporarily suspended. Laws are funny that way, but if I was a patient of his or used his products I would be ticked knowing he was still "practicing" medicine while involved with these substances. I went over to the other channel's website and his stuff is still up, full price and all. I was just curious if they would pull his products down, at least until the story blows over and then they would reduce it for clearance. I cannot imagine that they will keep him.

@ajsidney12 Are the local TV stations in Boston covering it? I had no idea this happened. I agree that if I had surgery scheduled with a doctor who'd been busted like this I'd cancel it. I'd just be too nervous even if there's nothing to be nervous about and he doesn't use while on the job. It might be a good thing for him in the long run, as that kind of thing can be bad for a person's health.

With him being a doctor and having access to top-grade-pharm drugs of all kinds...why in the world would he resort to buying street drugs!!??...and risk his career to boot! Unbelievable.

I haven't tried his products but it is sad to read this. I hope he gets the help he obviously needs.

Re: Dr. Sevinor Fans Please note!

HappyDaze — Fri, 23 Sep 2016 13:19:14 GMT

I don't know who he is but geez scary to think of a plastic surgeon addicted to crack (and who knows what else?) and still performing surgeries I assume? I hope his license gets suspended until he gets help.

LOL Dr. Sevinor is a junkie. Who would have known?

Re: Dr. Sevinor Fans Please note!

ajsidney12 — Fri, 23 Sep 2016 16:28:28 GMT

@Ms X I have not seen anything on their sites. Interesting the newspaper picked it up. It's a big enough deal I would think that the tv outlets should alert the public.

I don't think it's a LOL at all. It's sad and very serious. I just happened to have seen him briefly on air a couple days. That was probably the last time he'll be on for a while, I would imagine.

He was probably high as a kite each time he was on air....and working on his patients. That is who I feel sorry for. Drug addicts are very self consumed and selfish.

I'll make no assumptions about him, his problems, or what he does or doesn't do while working on patients.

But I will assume that you are not now nor have you ever been either an expert on addiction or a drug counselor.

I agree, someone with a drug problem is never a LOL thing to me. I know too many people with drug and alcohol problems and seen wonderful lives ruined and families destroyed due to their addiction(s). It is sad and never something I take lightly or think is funny at all. Never.

I speak for myself when it comes to addiction. Thanks to my family, friends and the pros, I have been clean for many years. These people, I believe, do not and to the best of my knowledge have never considered me as "self consumed" or "selfish". I could be wrong but I truly don't think so. To say such a generalized thing is not right. People are all different and the same can be said about the people who unfortunately became addicted. We are all different.

How low can a person be to find humor in this type of situation. It's a new low, wow.

The Boston Herald reports today that Dr. Sevinor has surrendered his medical license and is retiring after a long and successful career. I see no reason why he shouldn't remain a vendor on HSN. I have no idea about the extent of his involvement with drugs, but I hope he can give that up.
