Overstepping boundaries?

Recently, the head of the U.S. Office of Population Affairs resigned. The articles reporting his resignation indicated that he was being investigated by Massachusetts. Now, the story is starting to come out.

It looks as though he got too close to at least one of his patients - and not in a sexual way. He gave the patient money, arranged for her to get free drugs and provided some form of counseling. Yes, he was stupid. Yes, he overstepped boundaries. But the press seems to be blowing this out of proportion.

You need a license to counsel - someone should tell my mother! And what about the bartenders who have to listen to people cry all night? What a joke counseling is anyway, most of the people I know who went into that field need help themselves.
