I've seen this time and time again.
I agree, @Annabellethecat66. Sad, but true.

Well, yes and no @dooBdoo. Don't they still take a hyppocratic oath? To me, doctors harming people - esp. intentionally - are worse than the average person harming people.
Some if them (not all) take an oath of some sort along the way, but it's not really standardized, it's not the old "Hippocratic Oath," and it's not binding... just ceremonial, if it's used at all. I don't support anyone harming others, of course. I just get tired of seeing doctors vilified or expected to be perfect people. (Not saying you are doing so, but it's become sort of the "thing" to do.)
Again, he's been accused, not convicted. Eta: we presume innocence, not guilt. I hope he's treated as any of us would be, that's all.🙂
I acknowledged that in my posts - I am quite aware of that.

Seems the doctor assaulted the boy. I know many doctors have huge egos and have even known those who insult and behave arrogantly. Doctors are just people who had enough money to get through medical school. They also played the medical systems to jockey into the correct schools to get the degree only to have the title and make some money. They are not to be put on pedestals as pillars of society or the community. they are fallable.

I know, @Pearlee!
That's why I said "again." Your original post was very fair and clear, in my opinion. And I do agree, if he's found guilty the medical board has to take action. I wouldn't want an anesthesiologist (or any other doctor) who's abusive or has anger issues.
