Medical Maniacs The 'second opinion' you won't get from your doctor . . .
"We have 237,000 'Dangerous' or 'Questionable' doctors in this country." Health Research Group '06 Annual Report

"Now hold onto your goobers. They've got those stetho-thingies. They're supposed to be . . . uh, what's the word . . . SMART."

"What gives you the right to stand on a pulpit and criticize doctors?"
(a typical email)

Think maybe we should wait for 'Health Care Reform' to straighten it all out?

And now, since you're here . . . imagine you're on a jury and you're job is to consider 'evidence.' The verdict is in your hands. Here's your case:

"In the matter of Health Care vs Logic, Health Care (the Defendant) is charged with the Murder of Common Sense."

"What on earth are you talking about?"

We're talking about the ridiculous notion that 'medicine' can police itself . . .

"Gather ye here now, and consider the sheer madness of the crime."

To put the subject into proper perspective, let's start here . . .

How do Americans usually die each year - other than Illness?

"45,000 citizens die every year because they don't have health insurance."
Steffie Woolhandler, MD, Harvard study, 2009, in support of Health Care Reform

"Approximately 180,000 Americans die every year due to medical treatment injuries."
Lucien Leape, MD, an earlier Harvard study, 1995, in support of sanity

Are you beginning to see the dimensions of our subject?

So . . . here's our uncomplicated question: If 500 Americans are dying every day while being cared for; if 'disease care' is our biggest killer, when exactly did we wake up in the Twilight Zone?

Delaware Pediatrician Earl Bradley, MD

DOVER PHYSICIAN SUSPECTED OF RAPING 103 GIRLS, 1 BOY
Bradley May Turn Out to be the Worst Child Rapist in History

Delaware State Attorney General Beau Biden has reported that Bradley's horrific misbehavior could have been stopped five years ago, had medical authorities simply acted on reports of his strange conduct around children. As is invariably the case in the United States, outrageous physician antics are tolerated beyond the realm of logic.

Case update: April 20, 2010 - Delaware State Attorney's office adds 55 new charges to the 471 counts of child rape & abuse, after review of Bradley's sadistic videos of himself with children

Doctor in University of Alabama Shooting Outrage Had
Long History of Violence & Homicide

Dateline Huntsville, AL - Investigators revealed today that the suspect in the shooting of six, and killing of three, shot her brother to death in 1986. That case was determined to be accidental, even though more than one shot was fired into her brother at the time.

The Boston Globe reports that in 1993, Bishop was suspected of having mailed two pipe bombs to the home of Doctor Paul Rosenberg, a Harvard Professor. Rosenberg was not injured. She was investigated but never charged for that incident either.

Authorities took Doctor Bishop into custody at the Huntsville campus of the University of Alabama on Friday. It is their belief that she pulled out a handgun at a faculty meeting and began shooting her colleagues point blank, killing three. She is charged with Capital Murder, and is eligible for the Death Penalty.

Exhibit #11 -

James Guiler, Ob/Gyn

"It's commonplace to create surgical landmarks."

Ever seen the inside of a uterus? This particular, very personal internal organ belongs to a terrific woman named Stephanie Means. At age 38, Ms. Means, a school administrator in Kentucky, required the attention of the best Ob/Gyn physician she could find. Instead, she ended up in the hands of James Guiler, in Lexington. During the course of her treatment, Ms. Means discovered that her trusted doctor was a proud alumnus of the University of Kentucky, where he had attended medical school. And James Guiler MD, thought it was entirely appropriate to brand the initials of his alma mater into the wall of Stephanie's uterus. "U.K." Get it?

We wondered what graffiti-goon Guiler had to say about his particular "brand" of lab coat lunacy, and we found this statement buried in the hundreds of lines of court testimony:

“. . . I felt it was honorable, since it made reference to the college where I earned my medical degree.”

Which brings to our mind at least 3 questions:

Mind if we "honorably" brand your daughter's uterus?
Dogs pee on trees, you brand female parts . . . food chain update, please?
More importantly, is this egotistical maniac your doctor?

rather blithely referred to as the 'surgical consent' form. (that would be the paper that politely mentions you might die) The fine print generally covers the matter of your very own surgical waste being carefully hauled away by licensed professionals, and off to the local crematorium.

Or . . . or, you could just smile and say, "Sure doc! Go pour it into your girlfriend's gas tank."

Stayed tuned for more details on this very cheeky fellow, along with his lady friend whom, we're guessing, thinks he's quite the catch.

Texas Physician Gets Jail Time for Fake Botox Scheme

Dateline Houston - A local anesthesiologist admitted in federal court that she had injected at least 170 patients with a Botox product not acceptable for human treatment.

Doctor Gayle Rothenberg was sentenced last week by a federal judge to 5 1/2 months in prison. She was also ordered to pay $98,000 in restitution and will not be able to regain her medical license.

Rothenberg pled guilty to mislabeling Botulinum as Botox, and then lying to federal investigators. She admitted in court that she had stopped ordering Botox after a price increase and instead began treating patients with an unapproved product that cost considerably less. She testified that she knew the drug was not for human use but did not advise her patients.
