No, I am not being judgemental when the facts of that situation, showed that the unpleasant, rude, and abusive personality of a doctor, who could or would not take care of his own health, met with an abrupt and early end. It was no surprise to me and many others who put up with his tantrums on a daily basis.
People receiving abuse are not being judgemental in reporting so. When doctors' egos get the better of themselves, they can pay a price ... and seeing it happen is not judgemental. What does one think when a male psychiatrist (this is a true story) drives his Mercedes Benz into a flooded area in broad daylight with barracades blocking the road? Is this because he thought he knew better? He drowned quickly as a result. Or the woman psychiatrist here, that refused to monitor her own diabetes, refused to take care of herself, and dropped on her porch of ketoacidosis and died? Was that some major form of denial? Arrogance? (I knew both her husband and his second wife).
These boards are filled with patients disappointed with their doctors, or who have been poorly treated, or caused considerable harm. They are not being judgmental in reporting it here or venting. There really is no place to go when someone in power goes on a "power trip" at your expense. Women receive this type of abuse more often than men, but times are changing.
I see men on these boards, being told by their doctors that their pain is all in their heads! emotional...etc. There is a thread going right now, about a cold, unfeeling neurologist, in fact, elsewhere on these boards.
Our PN forum has had several threads about arrogant, nasty doctors who dismiss PNers, or act in cruel ways, by withholding treatments, pain intervention and the like.
So it is no surprise to me that zygopetalum is describing her doctor the way she did. I found her description of him FUNNY and this is a thread about FUNNY MOMENTS after all. And I believe her description is not judgemental either, and that the doctor deserves it. I have a long list of similar personalities I've encountered in my professional career, as well. And sadly many are NOT funny at all.
