If you are renting out your medical license for passive income, you put your patients at risk and your own license on the line. In this particular case felony charges. Just stick to the stock investing.

Shady guy. Story gets worse.

Deposition in medical negligence lawsuit reveals doctor in Luxe Med Spa case was terminated by previous employer, ordered to self-report ‘alcohol abuse problem’

Michael Patrick Gallagher submitted to a rehabilitation program after the head administrator with his former employer ordered him to “self-report an alcohol abuse problem” in late 2021, according to testimony in an unrelated medical negligence case.

He didn't go to some podunk training program and he did a cardiac fellowship not too long ago. His picture made him look like he was 60

Are the charges from different docs?

TIL the normal potassium concentration of the vitreous fluid <15 mmol/L.

What a dumb way to make 1000 dollars a month. Gallagher was prob thinking, What can go wrong? Im an anesthesiologist.

I'm not familiar with autopsies, why would they test vitreous fluid and not perform a normal bmp?

I'm not familiar with autopsies, why would they test vitreous fluid and not perform a normal bmp?

They often sample vitreous fluid (the clear gel inside the eye) during an autopsy because it is relatively protected from early postmortem breakdown, bacterial contamination, and some of the changes that affect blood after death. That makes it useful for certain lab measurements.

The main reasons are:

Electrolytes and chemistry — things like potassium, sodium, chloride, glucose, urea, and creatinine can help evaluate dehydration, severe electrolyte disturbance, diabetic ketoacidosis, kidney failure, or marked hyperglycemia before death. Time-since-death estimation — vitreous potassium tends to rise after death in a somewhat predictable way, so it can contribute to estimating the postmortem interval. It’s only one clue, not an exact clock. Toxicology — sometimes for alcohol, drugs, or when blood results may be harder to interpret because of postmortem changes.

A simple way to think of it: after death, blood chemistry can become unreliable fairly quickly, but vitreous fluid often preserves a cleaner biochemical snapshot.

How does one interpret a K of 10 in the vitreous? Based on the case, it kinda seems like they are blaming the TPN electrolytes, I presume for having a high K concentration. The defense seems to be that she took a whole bunch of drugs before coming in for the infusion.
