The craiglist killer is a med student!

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.

This DID happen in Boston...hmmm is there a Boston-based massages-with-a-happy-ending racket that I was unaware of in college?! And is that part of the HMS financial aid package?!
It's kinda like "21", but...naughtier.

Shoot! Is that what "revolving loan" means? :laugh:
 
I hear that BU was teaching a new course on Osteopathic Manipulation.. Was this a case of it going bad?

🙂
 
I wonder if altruism was his reason for entering medicine?
 
Such a shame. If the guy wanted to kill people he could have just waited until his intern year.
 
This thread is terrible. I think it should be closed.

Just go to show that anyone can fake an interview.

After his massage he wanted to use his manipulation skills to relieve some stress. After a failed attempt, she got pissed and threatened to sue him. So, he busted a cap and covered himself..

Malpractice is a bitch.
 
You guys better be careful about what you write...I heard he frequents SDN as much as he does Craigslist 😏
 
So... I have to ask... do you use zip ties in OMM?

Fuzzy handcuffs and lots of duct tape, if not contraindicated. Firearm usage IS kinda a rare technique, taught only for historical purposes.

Nice. So he was going off-label... so to speak?

Ha. My interviewer at BU mentioned how vehemently he was against BS/MD programs.

The BS/MD status would explain the confusion in the press.

He wasn't BS/MD, he went to albany for undergrad.

DOs are all bitter that they can't be derms in Mongolia like MDs can so they snap and kill "professional flirters" in hotel rooms using OMM.




Duh.

But isn't it everyone's dream to be derm in Mongolia? By God if I so happen to be a DO and they don't let me derm in Mongolia... well you know the rest...🙄

uh, in his case doesn't it sorta make sense? If he did it, he's probably a sociopath...they tend to be charming. So while this is bad press for BU, I doubt it would have been easy for them to screen him out simply based upon an interview.
 
phospho said:
he's finishing his second year, so that's like skipping two grades...

If I came out right out of undergrad, I'd be finishing my 2nd year as a 23 y/o.

I don't think MOST sociopaths are charming, just that were some notorious examples of charming ones. Most of them are like the crazy cat lady.
 
it's all Bush's fault.

haha all I know is American Psycho. I thought sociopaths were very capable of getting others to like them though 😕Maybe someone with an extensive psych background can chime in. On the other hand, who really cares...

I kinda wanna make a poll asking this years acceptees to BU if they are having 2nd thoughts but that would be soooooooo wrong :laugh:

A Boston University medical student was arraigned on murder and weapons charges Wednesday, with prosecutors alleging he is responsible for a March 2 shooting in Jamaica Plain that left one man dead and another comatose.

Prosecutors claim Daniel Mason, 35, drove to the Jamaica Plain apartment of 28-year-old Gene Yazgur and shot him and his roommate, Michael Lenz, 25, while they slept, though the defendant maintains his innocence and pleaded not guilty last week in Roxbury District Court.

Suffolk County Assistant District Attorney Josh Wall alleged Mason, clad in a black-knit hat, entered the apartment at around 5:30 a.m. on Friday morning toting a 9 mm shotgun he had owned since 1992. His first victim, according to the prosecutor, was Lenz, who he killed by shooting him in the temple.

Mason then allegedly entered Yazgur’s bedroom and shot him in the chin. When Yazgur woke and attempted to escape, Mason fired at his chest, knocking him to the floor, Wall said. Mason, who was reportedly trained as an assassin in the Israeli military, allegedly then shot Yazgur in each leg, breaking both his femurs. Before fleeing the apartment, Mason also fired on Yazgur’s dog Sampson, Wall said.

A past incident may have motivated the attack. Mason was placed on probation after he was convicted of assault stemming from a September 1997 traffic incident occurring after Yazgur reportedly parked his moving truck in a spot where it blocked Mason’s car. When Mason asked Yazgur, then an employee of a moving company, to move the truck, he was reportedly told to wait five minutes.

Instead, Mason reportedly punched Yazgur in the face with an object he drew from his pants pocket, slashing Yazgur’s face.

Following a lawsuit, a judge last August ordered Mason to pay Yazgur more than $118,000 over a 20-year span. That day, according to The Boston Globe, Mason made a promise to Yazgur in the courtroom before he left. “You’ll never see a penny,” Mason vowed.

On March 1, the day before Lenz and Yazgur were shot, a sheriff’s office ordered Mason to make his first payment of the settlement.

Mason is being held without bail. Police were alerted to the history between the two men by Yazgur’s lawyer, and Mason was arrested Monday at Boston Medical Center as he worked with patients.

Yazgur remains in a coma at the same hospital. Police, however, did not release the location of the hospital at which Yazgur was being treated until after a suspect was apprehended, knowing of Mason’s military background and fearing for Yazgur’s safety.

Born in Worcester, Mason is a U.S.-born Israeli citizen who trained in a special commando unit of the Israeli military before leaving Israel and going to Dartmouth College to study history in 1988. His legal troubles began then; while at Dartmouth he was arrested following a dispute over weights at a gym, but was never convicted and instead ordered to undergo psychological testing.

He graduated from Dartmouth in 1993, the same year he was arrested for breaking into a girlfriend’s house and threatening to murder her. A year later, he enrolled in the Boston University School of Medicine.

Mason was scheduled to graduate in May. He was to begin work in a pediatrics rotation tomorrow at North Shore Children’s Hospital.

Yazgur, who lived in Brookline after moving from the Soviet Union, is currently employed as a computer engineer. He and Lenz, who was a graduate student at the University of Massachusetts at Boston, were reportedly up talking and drinking cocktails into the early morning the night before they were shot.

Kids, if you didn't get into BU for medical school, don't despair, if you had gotten in you would have probably turned into psychopathic serial killer by the time 2nd year roles around.

Of course, most serial killers have quite charming personalities - that's how they get the victims back to the house for some roofies-n-rum.

This reminds me of some interviewers telling me that the interview process was just "to make sure you're not a psycho killer" or anything. Fail.

So being arrested for threatening to murder your girlfriend doesn't get you screened out at BU, but having high stats does? +pity+
