A Lexington doctor will have to undergo a psychiatric exam.
Dr. William Weddle is accused of having sex with patients.
He will be allowed to work as an emergency room doctor, but must be chaperoned when examining female patients.
The ruling came from a Virginia Board of Medicine Panel that met Friday.
Weddle is accused having a sexual relationship with two of his patients.... he says the charges are false.
He'll appear before another medical panel next month.

Albright's military days weren't over when the war ended.
He would also serve in Korea-- which is when he decided to make the Army a career.
His service also included three tours during Vietnam--
But he doesn't feel he's been scarred by any of his experiences, especially since it gave him the opportunity to study different languages.

At age 75-- Albright doesn't plan to volunteer for any future military assignments.
But if called up-- he says there's no doubt he would be honored to serve.

(( For the first time in Florida, the world's stinkiest flower is opening up.
SOT

Discovered in the rainforests of Sumatra in 1878, the Titan Arum can grow to twelve feet. For folks brave enough to inhale its overbearing bouquet, you'd better hurry.
SOT

Historically, specimens collected from nature have died after their first bloom. Fairchild Tropical Garden has good reason to believe this one will last longer.
SOT

And if it does survive, we may be in for an odiferous treat another three to four years from now...and could possibly even break a world record.
SOT

Because this monster of plants smells like rotting flesh, some people will do almost anything to avoid a wiff.
SOT

But judging from the crowds, some may like the smell more than they're willing to admit.))
