text: Fr. Thomas R. Physician
  Diocese: Archdiocese of Detroit MI
  Status of Accusation: Sued
  In a civil lawsuit filed on 5/04, four individuals accused four priests of misconduct. One man specifically claimed that a Physician had subjected him to abuse during his time at Precious Blood parish from the ages of 14 to 17 in the early 1970s. The accused Physician, who had retired in 2002, was suspended from duty on 1/3/04. Although the police conducted an investigation, no charges were ultimately pressed. The Archdiocese acknowledged the gravity and validity of the allegations, deeming them “serious and substantive.” Sadly, the accused Physician passed away on 8/23/04. Furthermore, on 6/10/19, his name was officially included on the archdiocese’s list of individuals who were deemed to have credible accusations against them.
