A group of women allege in a class action lawsuit that a Boston-based doctor performed inappropriate physical examinations on them that weren’t medically necessary. The suit alleges that Dr. Derrick Todd — who worked as a rheumatologist at Brigham and Women’s Hospital until his departure in July — gave pelvic, breast and rectal exams for his own sexual gratification under the guise of providing medical care to patients.
