Oldie but goodie.....



Did Columbia Docs Know About Students’ Clandestine Clinic?

 

[Mman]

that's crazy. I never heard about that when it originally came about but I find it kinda shocking.

These guys are now high rolling plastic surgeons. Hamptons and manhattan. Not bad.

I’m sure the view will be equally nice from prison.

But more seriously almost all residency contracts forbid working in direct competition with the program, I imagine lawsuits are coming.

It was twenty years ago though?

 

[pocafx]

Wow totally breezed by the “1997”. Clearly didn’t read closely. Who knows what contracts were like back then, probably why such rules exist now.

Today one can get fired/not renewed for bringing bad press on an institution... the penalty for taking private paying patients away? Won’t be favorable.

Diversion of scheduled drugs. Theft of hospital supplies. No record keeping. Gross quality and safety issues are clearly malpractice and likely criminal. Both those guys should be in jail.

But there’s no way nobody else knew.

I would LOVE to know who did the anesthesia for them and what that arrangement was.

Likely local anesthesia

Likely local anesthesia

They did office type procedures only I’m sure, local and illegally prescribed Valium sounds like.

Something’s fishy here. This is 1997, which is before work hour limits. I used to hear from my attendings that they worked 60 hours straight without sleep, 400 hours a week, and only took a break twice a month for bathroom and meals. Somehow these guys have time to have a thriving side business?

They told a patient “they work with a couple good anesthesiologists”. Sounds like they were doing lido and Valium for some of it.

Yager still has a practice at the same address.

he was able to do all these procedures with just valium. sounds pretty simple.

Even though one was officially fired. Guess he hired a good lawyer.
I see now that the lawyer argued that the resident did nothing wrong since he was working on an unrestricted license. The hospital got fined a whopping 66k and the residency was pulled.
But still. Hmm
