This doctor WAS a big problem - at least if you consider sexual abuse of patients, or assault weapons in an office described by police as a "pigsty", or state legislators describing him as "a danger to patients" as being a problem.<br /><br />The "system" should have caught up with this guy years Carolyn Thomashttp://www.ethicalnag.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18943510.post-19759097471856008172011-02-27T11:05:27.962-06:002011-02-27T11:05:27.962-06:00No. It says that this doctor is a problem, and the...No. It says that this doctor is a problem, and the article says that there were warning signs ignored that should have removed this physician from his practice years ago.R.

Some time in the past, you mentioned pulseless patients who have implanted non-pulsitile cardiac pumps. A question came up in a recent CPR course. How do yo know you are dealing with such a patient, and if you are, is external cardiac compression of any value/danger??<br />I'd appreciate your advice here.firechief/MDnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18943510.post-19321249028316104612011-02-25T11:41:56.254-06:002011-02-25T11:41:56.254-06:00You don't think this doctor is a problem?

While "the system" must be held to account for its failures, "the system" didn't have sex with this doctor's patients or fill his office with weapons, ammunition, and cats.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18943510.post-50572110578490991572011-02-25T10:12:16.220-06:002011-02-25T10:12:16.220-06:00Wes, I don't know if the headline says quite t...Wes, I don't know if the headline says quite that.
