What’s going on in the medical field lately?
Just recently a vision doctor named Scott Johnson went viral for calling President Obama a nigger on Facebook and now this.
Let me say this, I know the medical profession is extremely stressful and many doctors and nurses are overwhelmed and overworked.
However, the Hippocratic Oath that most medical doctors take upon graduating medical school specifically emphasizes treating the whole human being, respecting patient privacy, avoiding overtreatment, acknowledging personal limits, and caring for one’s own health and colleagues.
That being said, I can understand his frustration with the noise and disruption but it may be time to relocate rather than risk his entire career confronting patients in this manner. Not only is unprofessional but it may be a violation of that oath he took.
CBS LA — A vision doctor has gone viral after he is caught yelling at a woman and swearing in front of a child with Autism inside a medical office in South Pasadena, California. The doctor is now speaking out saying it wasn’t his best moment.
As this story continues to go viral, he might very well be in danger of losing his medical license for what he calls a 30 second lapse of judgment.
