An American was sued for half a million dollars for the ridicule of doctors during a procedure under anesthesia
The American sued 500 thousand dollars for the ridicule of doctors who did him a colonoscopy (a diagnostic procedure for examining the intestines) under anesthesia.
Before the procedure, the patient turned on the voice recorder on his phone to record all the recommendations of the doctors when he recovered from anesthesia. On the way home from the hospital, he turned on the tape and found that the anesthesiologist and gastroenterologist mocked him during the procedure.
The anesthesiologist said that in five minutes of talking with the patient, she wanted to "punch him in the face." When the nurse noticed a rash on the patient's penis, the anesthesiologist advised her not to touch it, so as not to catch syphilis or tuberculosis. The gastroenterologist remarked, in turn, "If it's not Ebola, you'll be fine."
The nurse during the procedure noted that the patient was nervous when he was given an injection. "Well, what are you looking at then, you moron?" said the anesthesiologist, addressing the patient under anesthesia.
Not limited to ridicule, the anesthesiologist wrote in the patient's medical record that he was diagnosed with hemorrhoids, although in reality he did not have this disease.
Lawyers declined to say whether doctors received disciplinary action.
