    Fuck.

    When I was in my early 20's I had to have my wisdom teeth pulled. I was living in a new city with zero friends and no one to recommend a dentist so I picked one at random.

    I told him that under no circumstances did I want general but local only as I have a fear of being put under. He agreed but the next thing I remember is waking up with him standing over me. Creepy. Creepier still is that he then told me that I swallowed one of the teeth and bit his hand. *shudder*

      General isn’t even standard for that since you have a risk of not waking up from it and laughing gas works just fine.

      Just got mine out that way (I hate general too, and was told it was just if I was really afraid). This guy sounds like a shitty dentist before even considering that he put you out and did creepy stuff.

      I woke up in the middle of my wisdom teeth removal surgery and it was and continues to be the most terrifying thing I’ve experienced

    Any doctors here? Because I’ve had plenty of morphine shots in my life and I’ve never been fully incapacitated by any... I would think one would lose consciousness before that could happen on morphine, in which case you wouldn’t know or remember what happened.

      Well, I’ve done vast quantities of heroin and can attest to the incapacitative qualities of injectable opiates! Woo doggy! I might as well have been a box of kleenex.

      Yeah, I was given morphine and did not have this reaction, but with enough, who knows?

    Women will complain about anything these days. It’s like, if you don’t want to have your face ejaculated on, don’t injure your shoulder...seems pretty simple to me.

      You know, she probably hurt herself on purpose so that she could lure him into ejaculating on her face while she was unconscious and unaware. What a tease.

    I smell major bullshit here, and this is coming from someone who doesn’t particularly care for physicians. First off, with the exception of specific cases, if you were incapacitated by morphine, something went wrong in the dosing. Putting aside that no one would jerk off on a patient’s face because hello messy evidence, anyone who’s worked in a hospital knows how implausible this scenario is. Every staff is walking in and out all the time.

    Also, is he seriously barred from practicing solely on this patient’s word? Am I missing part of the story? I’ve had more than one patient make shit up about me that would’ve gotten me fired if their word had been taken as canon, so this one of my huge fears. I’m sorry if it turns out she is actually telling the truth, but grr, the .000000001% of fake rape accusations ruin everything for rape victims and that is so infuriating.

      The woman claims he gave her a second dose after she informed him she’d already been given morphine. This is from the New York Daily News article:

      “A nurse later came into the room and found the woman in a blacked-out state, sources said.

      “What is wrong with her? Why is she like this?” the patient heard the nurse ask a staffer, sources said.

      The nurse, joined by another physician, Dr. Andrew Jagoda, roused the woman and asked what happened — but she was drifting in and out of consciousness and unable to say, sources said.”

      It also appears it was the hospital that called the police not the alleged victim. She was apparently upset and left without making a complaint beyond telling this nurse and doctor what happened.

      Every ED I’ve worked at had cameras to observe the patient, so it seems weird that no one would have noticed the doctor standing over her jacking off on the cctv feed. There’s some weird details about this story that definitely make me pause.

      However, of course Mt. Sinai has to cover their ass regarding this once the allegation was made public. My real question is who gets morphine for shoulder pain right off the bat?

    I would assume hospital pharmacies have to carefully account for injectable narcotics just as pharmacies have to do with narcotic pills, no?

      Yes. Even the hospitals in my RIDICULOUSLY small town are now equipped with automated dispensing machines. They usually require a login and often fingerprints, and some medications require two identifications to dispense highly controlled medications. They also keep track of which patient received which medication and when, to prevent accidental overdosing by busy staff.

      So, my first gyno was a dude that my mom went to for years. I was probably like 14 maybe when I went the first time. Maybe 15, at most. He did the exam by himself, without a nurse or my mom present, and when he was examining me (with is fingers INSIDE me), he said, “Your first time having sex will be easy for you. You aren’t too tight, and that’s a good thing.” I was pretty horrified when it happened, but said nothing, because he was a GODDAMN doctor. Never told my mom because I worried I was being dramatic. As an adult, I CLEARLY know that was all kinds of fucked up and wish I’d said something.

        Sounds like actual medical advice from an OBGYN to me. Some women are very tight, and sex can be extremely uncomfortable for them at first.

        And if she’d said, “Doctor, can you please tell me whether my vagina is a good ‘tightness’? Will my first time having sex be likely to be difficult for me?” you might have a point. But I can tell you that, having been to several gynecologists in my life, literally zero of them have ever said anything whatsoever about my “tightness” or offered their opinions about how enjoyable my sex life, present or future, is likely to be. That’s a really weird comment for a gyno to make unprompted, especially to a minor.

      I don’t think I could be anymore disgusted if I tried. If this is true, not only is it fucking nasty as hell, so violating and traumatic, but coming from somebody who has taken an oath to help people. Like, the sickening abuse and abuse of power is overwhelming. If it turns out he really did this, I hope the only patients he ever encounters again are cockroaches and sewer rats crawling across his face while he tries to sleep in his cell.

      I am interested in knowing whether any evidence ( i.e. ejaculate) was found. I have seen patients on morphone and less potent drugs have some pretty bizarre hallucinations. I seem to be the only one here who thinks it’s even possible that he didn’t do it.

        I am of a mind to believe victims first, but admittedly, based on my own personal experiences with morphine (I said my own personal experiences which are not scientific evidence and I am aware that they have little to no bearing on other’s experiences) I’m having a bit of trouble with her alleged version of events. The first time (not the only; events played out similarly after subsequent surgeries and administrations) I was administered morphine, after surgery to remove an umbilical hernia, I decided to take a hike. Which is to say, that I couldn’t feel the pain to the extent that I thought I was capable of things I had no business doing. My brother, after an orchidectomy, was so high that he ran up the thirty hillside steps to our front door. Lucidity AND partial paralysis are not generally concurrent side effects of opiate overdose. If she was so heavily sedated that she couldn’t move, I have difficulty with believing that she was also awake. Then there’s the matter of “what kind of fucking idiot would risk killing an unintubated person with closely tracked hospital grade painkillers just to get their rocks off”.

        This story is the worst. I don’t want to be right, and I don’t want to be wrong. Either way, someone’s life is forever altered for the worse. If I’m wrong, I will personally write an apology to the victim, but with the available facts, it’s just not adding up for me
