Man wins $500,000 after recording female-led surgury team verbally abusing patiant

[PainPositive]

Lots of good points here. I like how this forums comments get you looking at the situation from all angles.

I think suing someone for mean words is a little bit of an American phenomenon. That being said there needs to be some way to hold people accountable for the way they conduct themselves at the workplace. Usually a complaint to a boss or a bad review solves this. I imagine this doctor has a supervisor of some kind.

Wouldn't a complaint to the hospital solve this problem?

The doctor runs a private practice then poor reviews sets it straight? (Believe it or not reviews are big with private practice)

What would be the best way to deal with this without going overboard?

I'd hate to see long lasting punishment like revocation of her license but something needs to be done.

Any pictures of the Docs?

You guys are defending a doctor that said she wanted to punch a patient in the face?
Name one profession that alone wouldn't get you fired from and possibly in legal hot water.

1. el-mechanico's profession.

Logger.

Example, the son of a lumber mill owner was out doing site inspections when he came across a grizzled old contractor running a log loader and he hears this on the radio channel "Hey Junior, is that you?...it is you! Well, your family has been fucking me in the ass for years and now its my turn" and the guy gets out of the cab of his machine, buck naked and holding a pry bar. Junior stepped on the gas and got out of there. This logger is still selling wood to this mill.

It won't. The hospital director will feign concern to your face, you know just like the doctor did before you were anesthetized, and then: Wow! Nothing will happen. The clinic will protect their own (unless they did some heinous shit like cut his dick off and glued it back on the wrong way).

What would be the best way to deal with this without going overboard?

Law #15, Crush your enemy totally. Let's say they didnt' lie about the condition. Still hit them with a law suit, even a frivolous one will bring bad publicity and then:

1. Pay someone to write a damning press release,

2) Send it and the mp3 to as many reporters as you can.

3) Do interviews on camera, upload to YouTube, try to get on the daytime talk show circuit(cry on camera)

4) ???

5) Profit.

That's pretty mild but still funny shit talking. We've done way worse in my shop. Hell, most of the military is way worse. That's one reason why it's fun.

 

[Simeon_Strangelight]

Personally I expect that kind of shit-talk all the time. The 500.000$ come from globalist insurance agencies and HMO's coffers, so it's better for the global economy.

As far as being cold, mean and deceitful (wrong diagnosis) - that is the reality for many MDs out there. I have 5 friends and even ex-GFs being MDs. One said clearly that only 5-10% at best have high ethical standards and love their job because they like to aid people. 90%+ often hate their patients and do it out of money or prestige. That is why in countries like the UK over 50% of female doctors leave the job in their 30s and never come back (no large student debt loan to force them to continue working like in the US).

Some oncologists prescribe chemotherapy or radiation while fully knowing that it won't be effective against that kind of cancer at all. Other doctors are vaccinating other people's kids religiously while not giving shots to their own kids at all (MDs vaccinate their kids at rates of 50%[Russia] to 80%[most Western countries] - far below the average population). A little mean talk during the procedure is nothing compared to that.

What is however surprising for many people is the fact that doctors think that way. It's basically the Red Pill shock for common folk.

The propaganda from all the doctor TV series like ER are painting a different picture of MDs. Just like all the cop shows portray an officer who cannot sleep because a killer is on the loose - that too is pure brain-washing.

 

[iamdegaussed]

The shit-talking I have zero problem with, as should everyone else.

Falsifying medical records and lying to a patient is something entirely different and unacceptable.

This is pretty cut and dry.

That's because most Russians believe some stupid ass shit when it comes to health care. I've had a LTR with a Russian and have talked to other guys who are also in LTRs with Russians and some of the shit they come up with will astound you.

I fully support any man who can sue any women "in a position of power" for any transgression. The more money the better.

It is long past time for MEN to start fucking over women doctors, lawyers, managers, and college professors the way that WOMEN have been fucking over men.

If I could start a law firm right now, which did nothing but file endless troll lawsuits against women, I would do it in a fucking heartbeat. By doing so, I would be doing more to to help our society, than any other thing I could possibly do.

The WOMAN SUES MEN thing is running utterly amok and destroying society as we speak. Women as a group completely ignore and belittle the damage this is doing. The only way to make them pay attention is to flip it around and shove it in their faces.

Sue the women. Sue the crap out of them. Strip them of their home equity, 401-K plans, and savings. Throw them into the streets to live as homeless bums (something that happens routinely to men who are sued). I want to see women endure all the life destruction that men have endured for so long.

It's time for "Equal Rights" you fucking scumbag Feminists. Equal Rights means we start usng the US legal system to fuck you over. Not only will you get no mercy, but your pleas for mercy will cause us to come after you even harder.

Men in the west need to start treating women more viciously.

Huh. I think I'm sort of in disagreement with this. Basically I'm just befuddled. Isn't this the type of thing that should end up in a bad Yelp review or something?

A Yelp review?

Doctors are held to a higher standard than a burrito shop.

On the other hand, there are "customer" review services like Healthgrades that are indeed like Yelp. They are not a substitute for medical licensing however.

Among other things she violated the Hippocratic oath:

I wonder if she will lose her medical license?

It will definitely go on her record with the state medical board (by the way, this is available to the public. You can find your doctor's details there).

Russia is one thing, but countries like Switzerland and entire areas in Austria and Germany which have avg. vaccination rates of 85% while the medical establishment screams murder when it falls below 98.5% in most countries? Also there the MDs have even lower rates than 80%. Keep in mind that the vaccination rate of Russians is much much higher than 50%. It just shows you the dichotomy in thinking. MDs just calculate the risk and many choose otherwise.

 

[civpro]

I wonder what the patient looked like.

 

[Titan]

Man I can understand these bitches talking shit about the guy, who sounds like a massive faggot to be honest. But falsely diagnosing him with fucking hemorrhoids? just lol. Also, kinda funny this happened at DC.

I find it hard to believe that anyone is defending these guys. I saw the picture of the doctor in another news story. He looked like a fat nerdy version of Harry Potter. He has absolutely has no standing to criticize others for looking and acting soft.

A couple of points:

A.) The patient didn't sue the doc for "saying mean things". He sued the team for slander because they said untrue things about his dick rash in front of 3rd parties. Like it or not slander is a civil offense and not covered under the first amendment. Personally while I agree with allowing people to be sued for slander I'd happily do away with it if the government would agree to not list assault charges on background checks in exchange. A vicious beating is quicker, cheaper, more satisfying, and often more effective.

B.). Not only did they slander the guy. They were derelict in their duties by not giving him post procedure instructions, then lying about it, then trying to cover it up by having someone give them a fake emergancy page.

C.) On top of it all they falsified medical records out of spite!

Not only should these idiots be fired (I don't believe the doctor was), but they should be banned from the medical field.

Adding the fake medical diagnosis was stupid, making fun of patients is part of what makes a career in medicine so fulfilling.

So does performing surgeries and abortions :angel:

 

[SlickyBoy]

My father works in the medical field and this recording is tame compared to the stories he's told me.

It wasn't that uncommon for surgeons to operate while intoxicated several decades ago and take funny pictures with incapacitated patients.

It wasn't uncommon to not have to think of things in terms of blue/red pill back then either. Completely different planets - your dad had it good.

 

[Dusty]

A lot of doctors hate hate hate fat people and talk shit behind the backs of their fat patients. "Land whale" is a very common phrase used by MDs.

 

[TigerMandingo]

This story warmed the cold, cold cockles of my heart. I love that this bitch was outed. So is there any chance she will have her license revoked?
