$500,000 Awarded After Doctors Mock Patient During Surgery

[MuseRider]

26. With the short time I spent

working in surgery as a student I could have busted all the most well thought of surgeons with crap like this.

Patient out, poking belly talking about fatty here and fatty there.

Look at this guys ass, suppose he sticks baseball bats up there?

I will not even speak of what happened to good looking young women, mostly from the OBGYN doing the surgery.

This was 30+ years ago. I have no idea what it is like now but the surgery was the surgeons kingdom and they used it like that.

EDIT to add, because I realized I did not say this before, these people are assholes and beneath what their title allows them in the world. This should never happen. After I experienced this I spent so little time going to doctors I almost died. I do not, to this day, trust them at all. No one under any circumstances should be treated this way and to do it when the patient can't even defend themselves and are trusting you to take care of them? Reprehensible. I would say they should lose their license for it. Disgusting abuse of patient trust.
