You Can' Make This Stuff Up (#7)

I once had a patient who told me how she was diagnosed with a serious medical condition and treated for it for many months with potent medications only to later find out that she actually did not have the condition. She stated she called a lawyer and found out that the doctor had been in serious trouble with the state licensing board. So I turned to a website (Federation of State Medical Boards) that lists all the state medical boards. The site lets you research the name of individual physicians in each state so you can make an informed decision when choosing a doctor. When I typed in the doctor’s name, I couldn’t believe what I was reading regarding one of the complaints:

1. The doctor stated to Patient A “get the hell out of my office” or
words to similar effect.

2. The doctor stated to Patient A that he would kick Patient A “out on
your ass” or words to similar effect.

3. The doctor grabbed the shoeless Patient A by his clothing and took him out of the office building

4. While outside of the office building, the doctor spanked Patient A multiple times on the buttocks (!!!!!!!).

5. While outside of the office building, the doctor pushed Patient A
up against a windowed area while his hand was around Patient A’s
neck and/or shoulder.

Can you believe having that happen at a doctor’s office?! As I keep saying, "You can’t make this stuff up!"
