Patients Try To Keep Appointment With Jailed Doctor

Patients of a northern Kentucky psychiatrist jailed on a charge he stabbed a woman with a sword have tried to keep appointments with him while he’s behind bars. Kenton County jail Chief Deputy Scott Colvin said officers have had to turn away several patients of Douglas Rank, who was charged last month with first-degree assault in an attack on a 32-year-old woman. Colvin said some patients have asked if they could drop off Rank’s prescription pad at the jail so he could write their prescriptions. The requests have been denied.
