Medical "Cures" People Used to Fall For. We're Goofy Now; We Were Just as Goofy Back i
Face it: adult human primates have pretty much always clopped along like unthinking sheep, lured into whatever freaky fad happens to be going on around them, regardless of how idiotic the behavior might be. And before you're tempted to blurt out, "Not me!" just admit to yourself how long it's been since you last checked your cell phone for that all-important text message that never really is. A whole 5 minutes? Not very likely. Admit it. You're so hooked on that little plasti
Doctor’s Body Wrapped in Plastic Bags for Months. Medical School Pays Him Anyway
It seems the University of Connecticut Medical School might want to rethink their competency in keeping track of folks they employ. They now realize they were sending paychecks out to one of their doctors 8 months after he'd . . . you know . . . died. UConn administration did the right thing when they fessed up to police that, well, yes, they had noticed one of their valuable employees hadn't returned emails and phone calls since last summer. And that seemed kind of odd. But
Mid-Eastern Doctors and Sexual Perversions. Is Pent-up Religious Frustration the Cause?
The deep legal doo-doo that an immigrant-Iranian MD in Redding now finds himself mired in, just keeps getting deeper with each new, despicable revelation. And only the truly naïve would show their shocked face. After all, Mid-Eastern physicians repeatedly demonstrate a stunning lack of impulse control, when it comes to nearly-nude women behind closed doors.* In Shasta County Superior Court today Judge Daniel Flynn announced that Doctor Hamid Rabiee, is being charged on a whop
Does ANY Profession Commit More Theft Than Doctors? Not That We Can See
In the state of California the Division of Workers' Compensation has booted out dozens of bad doctors who had previously been allowed to treat - and be paid to treat - workers' compensation patients. The Administrative Director of the DWC, George Parisotto, also issued suspension orders against criminal doctors who were cheating the system out of millions of dollars. Here are just 15 lab coat loons that you should be very happy won't be treating you, should you happen to get
Another Week: Another Doctor-Murderer Sent Off to Prison
In South Carolina last week yet another physician was convicted of Murder in the death of his wife. As you certainly ought to know if you are even a casual reader of The Paramedic Heretic, spousal murder is one of the most common crimes committed by doctors. The strangely-named Doctor General Theophilus Little of Charleston was found guilty last Friday by a jury that believed the prosecution had proven it's case - namely. that the physician had beaten his 69-year-old wife Bar
Chubby & Tubby: Adults in the U.S. Just Keep Right on Putting on the 'Lardage'
Well, the jury is back and the view from the rear ain't pretty. Adult-folk in this country are packing on the pounds. Results of a recent health study reveal that out of any 10 people walking toward you in the mall, 4 of them are overweight to the point of being obese. We'll gleefully do the math for you: that's 40% of us tipping the scales towards serious lardage. And not only are we growing - literally - chubbier as a society, we are gaining weight at a rate that can only
Doctor Convicted - He Was 'Curing' Gay Patients by Prescribing Gay Sex. Huh?
In the Canadian border city of Toronto a psychiatrist has been found guilty of luring his patients into homosexual liaisons in order to stop their gay cravings. Yeah, you heard that right. Doctor Melbyn Iscove, age 72, was convicted in a civil - not criminal - hearing, of having sexually abused two of his adult male clients, with the purported goal of curing them of their homosexual thoughts and feelings. Both men - now in their 40's = testified before the College of Physicia
California Criminal Doctors go to Prison; Get Released; Get Their Licenses Back Again. It's Revo
Over the past 25 years, the California Medical Board has routinely relicensed physicians who were found guilty of Attempted Murder, Insurance Fraud and Patient Sexual Assault. You might want to go back and read that first sentence again. Let it sink in. Some California MDs have spent more years in prison than they have in medical school. No matter, because more than half were reissued their licenses to treat patients after they were released. They told the medical board they
So How Many Bodies Did the Mental Hospital “Quietly” Bury?
Guess what underground radar discovered beneath the surface of the University of Mississippi Medical Center? Not much, just an estimated 7,000 bodies of former patients. And some folks still wonder why we call the wide, weird world of medicine the Twilight Zone. Because some things that go on behind closed doors are downright creepy, that’s why. It has now been learned that the thousands of corpses are former patients of Mississippi’s first mental institution, the constructio
Doctor Who 'Destroyed His Girlfriend in Acid Bath' in 2014 Finally Sent to Prison
In Chesterfield County Circuit Court in Virginia a physician was sent to state prison last Monday, after being found guilty of Murder of his girlfriend - a 26-year-old woman named Zulma Pabon - in June, 2014. Doctor John E. Gibbs III was sentenced to 50 years in prison - a term recommended as punishment last year - when he was convicted by a 12-person jury last December 7. His longtime girlfriend disappeared on June 7, 2014, and her body has never been found. “The doctor mur
