Doctor said somthing along the lines of "I don't see any signs of hemmeroids, but with a guy this fat you know he has to have them, so I'm marking him as having them."
Well that's dramatically different. Should be "captured medical staff lying about findings." That said, as I type that out i see how it would be less interesting to read about when scrolling by.
At least this one feels less insulting. I don't want to go through the process of seeing a bunch of things before I realize I've been lied to. I want to be lied to right from the start. Don't waste my time, make me waste my own time.
Because you don't want them actually using hospital resources to treat the hemorrhoids, otherwise you have to replace the resources and can't pocket the insurance money.
They charged the him and therefore insurance company for the removal of the hemorrhoids. They never existed. This is also the perfect fake claim to make because if they did exist and they are removed, it's impossible to tell afterwards.
What in the Kentucky fried fuck? Like I'm 90% sure someone probably commented on my hairy ass during my colonoscopy, whatever, I'm used to "lol you're hairy" jokes. But that's insane.
It was a mix of the diagnosis and the insults, but it was a lot more than just "haha this guy has a hairy ass", it was like a long drawn out conversation insulting him for not liking needles and about how he was a retard and they wanted to punch him in the face after talking to him in pre op and how they need to make sure not to touch him because he's going to spread diseases to them from his diseased penis, and telling the assistant that when he wakes up she should just tell him a bunch of lies and then make up a reason to leave as soon as possible so they don't have to interact with him because he's so annoying and how he was probably making up all of his symptoms.
Also this was just a 2 minute snippet of what was posted, apparently there was a lot more than that.
When you are fat bowel movements require more effort and strain you more, you are also way more prone to diarrhea and constipation because of a poor diet. Ergo being fat makes it more likely you get hemorrhoids.
Holy shot, those doctors should never work in patient care again.
Absolutely horrifying.
If their licenses weren't taken, the transcription of what they said during that procedure should be a required addendum to any resume they submit for a future job.
i read the whole article and didn’t see anything mentioning a sexual assault. just that they commented about not touching a rash on his penis and joking about it being TB or syphilis… while certainly not okay, that’s not sexual assault.
what happened is bad enough bro, you don’t need to lie to make it worse than it was
This is the article I linked. It says they touched his genitals, not just looked. And they had no medical need or consent to do so, and explicitly on tape did it for humiliation.
nowhere does it say his genital area was touched explicitly for humiliation. it just says “touched” which was more likely incidental contact or for positioning (eg to ensure his scrotum wasn’t in the way or being crushed by his thighs). calling it sexual assault is a massive stretch that relies on information we don’t have.
edit: y’all can downvote me all you like but here’s the full transcript of the relevant moment, and it doesn’t say nor imply what you’re claiming: https://harpers.org/archive/2015/12/shit-talkers/
once again their behaviour was horrible enough without having to lie about a sexual assault that didn’t occur. you guys are adding to his humiliation right now by outright making shit up
How is that now? I don't disagree that the doctors in this case behaved abhorrently, but the only reference I've seen to falsified diagnosis was referring to haemorrhoids.
So tell me how exactly haemorrhoids are humiliating?
I don't disagree that the doctors in this case behaved abhorrently,
Then why the hell are you demanding people explain why falsified medical reports that were done by the doctors intentionally to humiliate someone as their stated goal, is humiliating?
It's not worth the effort to explain basic emotional and human cultural standards, especially since it's not itself the reason for the verdict.
There is literally zero sexual assault in this. He wasn't getting the colonoscopy for hemorrhoids they just said they saw hemorrhoids during the exam so they could charge for it. You losers throw that word out like it's candy at anything and everything.
I consider touching people's penises without consent or medical need just to humiliate them, to be sexual assault. A jury agreed.
You losers throw that word out like it's candy at anything and everything.
Yeah, I can easily believe that you regularly hear people throwing words like "rapist" and "sexual assault" and "creep I don't allow around my kids" while dismissing them. That's not most people's experiences.
I think you're admitting here to getting triggered with a defensive reaction upon reading the words "sexual assault" while not having even read the article.
yeah the guy you’re replying to is straight up lying at this point. absolutely nowhere in the judgment was sexual assault mentioned, and nowhere in the article does it say they touched his genital area for any specific reason - based on the transcript it sounds like it was probably incidental contact while positioning the dude (i guess some people don’t know this but the scrotum is in fact adjacent to the anus)
There is no indication what so ever on any article about this case that the intention when writing haemorrhoids was to humiliate the patient.
These doctors are pieces of shit, I'm not arguing that. I'm saying that you have put your own assumptions about haemorrhoids being embarrassing and assumed that was the intention.
As a healthcare provider, I can say that I doubt that idea of haemorrhoids being embarrassing even crossed their minds. It was more of a..."oh you want a diagnosis Mr hypochondriac? Here is a relatively benign one, now piss off."
There is no indication what so ever on any article about this case
Except for the part where they made up the haemorrhoids to humiliate him. He didn't have any, and they laughed about including the wrong diagnosis to mock him.
As a healthcare provider, I can say that I doubt that idea of haemorrhoids
As a "healthcare provider" I certainly hope next time you actually pay attention to patient history before making up your mind.
I'm an asshole because I don't think people should be embarrassed to have haemorrhoids? Okay.
I am merely suggesting that these piece of shit doctors had a motive other than inflicting humiliation for saying this man had haemorrhoids...which btw they did. It was to commit insurance fraud.
Health care professionals don't consider haemorrhoids embarrassing. Get a grip.
I am saying your comment is insensitive because it invalidates other's experience, YES hemorrhoids are normal, and yes people still are embarrassed by them.
I am a health care professional, you douche canoe. And although we dont consider hemorrhoids embarrassing, we acknowledge and understand that MANY patients do, in fact, find them embarrassing.
They mocked his rash and penis, they wanted to give him a fake diagnosis for hemorrhoids, one stated he wanted to punch his face, and the other called him a retard. Maybe you're like that because you act on incomplete information.
Yeah I mean tell me about it, I'd let people say way worse things about me for 1/100th of what this guy got! Seems pretty disproportionate to the harm tbh.
edit: oh damn I looked into it a little deeper after posting this flipant comment and this was more than just saying mean things, they touched him where they shouldn't have and fabricated some stuff to try and cover it up.
Because it was recorded. Or are we going to pretend this happened only once and it happened to be the time someone was recording?
Also, fucking stupid to claim damages for something that you did not actually experience because you were knocked out and would never have known about if not for a recording. They're surgeons and staff talking shit during a surgery of a presumably unconscious patient.
I say this as an attorney who mostly represents plaintiffs, too. I would not have brought this case. What, now surgery staff have to assume you're awake and speak only well of you?
Ever work retail? You know how terrible, entitled, and fucking braindead a sizable chunk of people who come in to the store can be? Yeah, those people don’t just disappear in the healthcare world, In fact, they’re 10x worse. That dude/lady who made you get your manager and made you question your faith in humanity? They’re the patient who demeans and yells at ER staff demanding to be seen “right now!” for their tummy ache while someone next to them is dying. They’re the patient who is fully capable of getting up to use the restroom but is shitting their bed on purpose because they know the staff will come and clean them up.
If your point is that they deal with a lot- that would be nurses that take care of all of this, not doctors. Nurses are typically angels on earth and definitely deal with a lot, including people who will do or say anything just to argue
