Doctor of Love

A disgruntled New Zealand doctor has turned from pills to prostitutes, winning a licence to convert his former medical practice into a brothel. 

 

 

 

Dr. Neil Benson closed his practice in Cooper's Beach last year after a dispute with his local health organization over after-hours care. 

 

 

 

Benson, an 18-year medical veteran, said he decided to turn to the world's oldest profession after someone else considered renting his empty medical center to open a brothel.

'It's about providing a private service and maintaining confidentiality, which is what my medical practice was about'so it's not a big leap, really,' Benson said.
