Your History Can Haunt You
Posted by Clark Venable on 9/9/2007
A cardiologist in San Diego is accused of striking a patient during a heart cath:
Dr. Maurice Buchbinder, a prominent cardiologist, and Scripps Memorial in La Jolla are under federal investigation because he allegedly hit a patient several times during a procedure at the hospital, physicians and health officials have confirmed.
Having been called to the cath lab on several occasions to intubate his patients I can say that this report does not surprise me and is completely consistent with past behavior (though he never struck anyone in my presence). I'm quite sure he refrained from striking me only because of my size and ability to fight back.
