Dr. Jean-Gilles Blain, a 72-year-old neurologist, will not be accused of being oversensitive. When a patient came to him for an EMG, complaining of numbness in her arm, here’s what he said, as reported on Canada.com: He called her “fat” several times, told her she ate too much and said…
And the tattoo says “Hot Rod.” That HAD to hurt! The patient was undergoing surgery, and was sedated when the surgeon took the photo. Seems the doc showed it around (so he’s not a brain surgeon – ba-da-bing), and someone made an anonymous call to the press. Snap!
So you’re a doctor, and you’re convicted of sexual assault and drug trafficking. You automatically lose your license, right? Nope. Dr. Sean Buckingham, of Canada, was so convicted, and still has his license! What did he do? Per the National Post: Nearly two dozen witnesses testified during the trial, including…
Cliff Blake got nailed twice – first, literally, when a nail went into his foot. Then by Milwaukee podiatrist John S. Lanham. For an office visit that took one hour, the tab was $4,378.93! How could that be? For a cortisone shot (including the numbing shot), $1,700! (The cost of…

Not only did 64-year-old Dr. Suma Mondal repeatedly fail an English exam, as reported in This Is Lancashire. She was under professional review by her peers since October 2001 as senior staff attempted to improve her levels of performance. In January 2003, her colleagues became so concerned about progress that…
No, you didn’t say these things Dr. Lau, did you? When asked by Patient A if the cramping she had experienced was normal, Dr. Lau said “I wouldn’t know, I’m not a woman.” [So I guess he would know if cramping is normal for insensitive, unprofessional clods?] When asked by…
