Is it just me or does our specialty have a special knack for being *ssholes? Other examples include the anesthesiologist who was recorded belittling her patient while she was taking care of him, that guy who beat up Rand Paul, and several more. You don’t hear about radiologists or oncologists doing these shenanigans.

Chronic low does exposure to inhalational agent causes bizarre personalities and behavior. Or so her defense lawyer should say.

She looks like a crackhead

EM physician story:
When the director of a Texas hospital found out that her radiologist husband was cheating on her with a fellow radiologist, she apparently lost it, telling the other woman that she would "dislocate her vagina," before breaking into her house, where she scattered condoms and wrote messages on a bathroom mirror in red lipstick.
Forty-two-year old Angela Siler-Fisher was the medical director of the Ben Taub General Hospital in Houston and a teacher at the Baylor College of Medicine, where her husband Brandon is a radiologist.
On Sunday, Siler-Fisher apparently found out her husband had been cheating on her with a co-worker, radiologist Marcelle Mallery. It did not go over well.
According to the complaint, Siler-Fisher's husband called Mallery to warn her. Mallery was scared, so she took her children and left the house. At some point Siler-Fisher called Mallery, telling her she was "going to beat her ****ing ass *****," and "dislocate her vagina."
Then, according to security footage, Siler-Fisher kicked in a doggy door at Mallery's house and broke in. Once inside, she texted Mallery a photograph of Mallery's bedroom and wrote "*****" and "Homewrecker" on the woman's bathroom mirror in red lipstick.
According to the Smoking Gun, Siler-Fisher also left condoms on each step on a stairway inside the home.

IM physician story:
A doctor whose decomposing body was found in a narrow chimney suffocated to death after trying to break into her boyfriend's home, California authorities said yesterday. The body of Dr Jacquelyn Kotarac was discovered trapped in the chimney on Saturday – three days after she had apparently slid feet first down it into the house of her estranged lover, William Moodie. According to police in Bakersfield, California, the 49-year-old doctor turned up at his house on the evening of Wednesday 25 August. Moodie, however, did not want to see her. He left the house through the back door and spent the night elsewhere.
After apparently using a shovel to try to break in through the back door, police believe Kotarac climbed on to the roof with a ladder, removed the chimney cover and slid down the shaft. Kotarac was reported missing on Thursday when she failed to show up for work, Sergeant Mary DeGeare of Bakersfield police said. Her body was eventually discovered after a house-sitter noticed the smell coming from the fireplace. Firefighters spent five hours demolishing the chimney so that they could extract the body, which was wedged about 2ft above the top of the interior fireplace opening.
Yesterday, a spokesman for the Kern County sheriff-coroner said an autopsy had established that Kotarac had suffocated to death.

A wrongful death lawsuit filed on behalf of the sisters of a Bakersfield doctor who died while attempting to crawl down the chimney of her estranged boyfriend's home has been dismissed, marking the latest turn in a bizarre case that quickly made national news 2 1/2 years ago.

Quite a collection you have there, msnbc.

Kinda bums me out that she gets to be board certified.
 
I don't think burnout and being a racist go hand in hand, but I would say that physician burnout can lead to an emotional discharge to where people will reveal their pinned up aggression. Make not mistake that I'm not excusing her actions. I think our field in particular can be very stressful and we do out best to hide our stress while on the job that when in some sort of "stressful situations in the real world" people snap, because we can't snap on patients (while they're awake)/surgeons/administrations/etc.

I think someone not respecting "social distance" or Rand Paul's neighbor being fed up was just enough stress for both to "lose it".
 
Plenty of ****ed up people in every specialty.

I love that the family of the woman who died trying to break into her boyfriend's house down the chimney tried to sue. That may be the most American thing ever. What was the argument, that our chimney's need to be safe for illegal human passage?

I need to revisit the Dr. Death podcast. I got through like 2 episodes and I was like WTH

Duntsch is definitely an arrogant ass with very little insight into his own (very poor) surgical skills but it's unclear whether he purposefully and intentionally meant to harm others. Farid Fata on the other hand... watch that episode of American Greed
 
More anesthesiologists.

lets do CRNAs next..
 

Hold your beer!
I bet there are worse out there. They just haven’t made it on this board.
He’s a total idiot. If she isn’t interested, move on. I mean black male physicians have all kinds of women throwing themselves at them, being that they are so rare. Other fish in the sea.
However, 45 million dollars in “damages” from a resident? Where do lawyers pull these numbers from? His career may be done done!
 
Could be:


This is horrific
 
Not an anesthesiologist in this story, but I dare you to find a more hilarious excuse for being a racist POS:
