Title: Getbigger doctor pays 1/2 mil for colonoscopy jokes
Post by: 240 is Back on June 24, 2015, 08:48:17 AM
-- "And really, after five minutes of talking to you in pre-op, I wanted to punch you in the face and man you up a little bit," a doctor can be heard saying in a recording at the center of a lawsuit.

A patient in Virginia received $500,000 after the operating team mocked him while he was under anesthetics during a routine colonoscopy.

The patient said he had his phone set to record the post-operation instructions given to him before he was put to sleep. He forgot to turn off his phone during the procedure, though, and when he listened back to what the operating team had said about him, he was shocked.

"I'm going to mark hemorrhoids, even though we don't see them and probably won't," the anesthesiologist, Dr. Tiffany Ingham, can be heard saying. "I'm just gonna take a shot in the dark."

The audio, obtained by the Washington Post, was used in a lawsuit against the doctors. The patient sued for defamation and medical malpractice.

Along with Ingham, the gastroenterologist, Soloman Shah, can be heard, as well as an unnamed assistant.

The group joked about the patient having various ailments, such as Ebola, tuberculosis and "some syphilis on the arm or something."

After the assistant made a remark that the patient was squeamish about looking at his IV, Ingham replied, "Then why are you looking then, retard?"

Ingham and Shah shared an exchange about patients they called annoying, making comments about their patients, specifically people around Northern Virginia.

"Here's it's holier than thou, too much Internet use, a little too much information," Shah said.

"They want to believe what they want to believe. These people are into their medical problems," Ingham said. "Round and round we go, wheel of annoying patients we go. Where it'll land, nobody knows!"

A judge ordered Ingham and her practice to pay $500,000 in damages last week for the April 2013 incident. ABC News reached out to Ingham for comment but hasn't heard back.

Unless this was video tape or recorded why would the doctor's admit saying anything?

Well, then you wouldn't make a fool out of yourself asking "why would the doctors admit anything" ignoramous, since you would already have the answer.

Unless this was video tape or recorded why would the doctor's admit saying anything?
What's with your usage of "doctor's"?

That would translate to "why would the doctor is admit".

Bah, not sure how it would pan out. MY word against hers... Was maddening, especially when I got a letter in the mail requesting a donation to the hospital. Yes, they fixed me, but that stayed in my head man.

Was reading about this earlier. As unprofessional as this was, I think they would win on appeal. Nothing really qualifies as slander or defamation.  One of the jurors said this:

well the anesthesiologist ( who is a raging girl by the way) put in his med history that he had hemorrhoids even though he didnt, just to embarrass him further by having him get his rectum checked again. Obviously the guy cant handle hospitals and she was irritated by the number of questions he was asking hence her antics.

This is kind of a big deal. You cant just make shit up and put it in a persons medical history. There are laws against that. She might lose her license.
