This mentality is extremely sad. I despise gang bangers but I never treated them any differently than I did any of my other patients. I took care of one that I actually grew to like. I wanted to write a book about him but I think he had a few too many skeletons lurking in the shadows. Yes he was a thug, and yes he did bad things, but he paid a big price. He was paralyzed from a gun shot, and facing bilateral leg amputations. I treated him with respect and kindness and he did the same towards me. He was just another human being that needed help. Yes he made mistakes but that wasn't all of who he was. He wasn't the same person in his 40's that he was in his 20's.
When you treat someone like they're less than human because of who they were born to be? That's just despicable. That doctor needs to find another occupation.
That doctor needs to have her license pulled, and before she gets another license in a different State.
Her acceptance into the Cleveland Medical Clinic Hospital residency programs suggests her professional credentials were better than the average MD.
She was in the CC residency program for 2 months before her social media DNA caught up with her. Can’t imagine another hospital being willing to give her a second chance.
Ummmmm...................... she graduated from an obscure DO school. Keep in mind that the very best DO school in the nation is worse than the worst MD program.
So no.................. she did not attend a "good" medical school. The sad fact is that internal medicine is the easiest residency to gain acceptance, therefore IM is full of foreign medical grads, DOs, ect.... Even some "good" residencies have to accept poorer medical school graduates to fill their programs.
You will see very few (if any) foreign medical grads or DOs in neurosurgery, opthamology, or derm, as they are hard residencies to get into. My daughter (in med school now) says that ER medicine and psych (previously very easy to get into) are getting hard, as they are "lifestyle" residencies.
Currently there are more med students graduating each year than there are available residency slots, so the FMGs and DOs are getting "squeezed" from residency slots relative to US MD graduates.

All that information is shared now. I recently got licenses in four additional states (I do IME evals and needed the licenses to do them in those states.
I was shocked by all the information I had to provide to simply get a license and I have a very clean record with outstanding credentials. While gathering all the necessary documents, I wondered how in the hell does someone elude the system with forged or improper credentials? You have to provide each state all of your current licenses AND past licenses with statements from those states; if someone has had problems, there is no way in hell that could be missed today. Perhaps that happened in the past, but not today.
Heck, I had the chairman of the dept where I trained refuse to sign my residency/fellowship certificates (obtained over 25 years ago) because she did not train me and did not thus "feel comfortable" simply acknowledging that I was, in fact, at that institution. My actual chairman has been dead for ten years, so I couldn't dig him up and have him sign it. It was only because I personally knew the vice chair (he worked in our lab for four years) that I was able to get a signature!
If we are going to terminate folk based on past tweets/posts, shouldn't failed vetting processes have consequences, as well.......?
What she said is tantamount to attempted murder. I would expect the same thing to happen to me if I said I would deliberately derail a train load of oil I was driving just to **** of environmentalists. Words have consequences.
She should certainly be investigated by her local board. If her record is stellar, that should be good enough. Maybe a reprimand after an investigation.
I have an RN license. If I posted something as damaging, I'd expect to be investigated.
Hospital doesn’t want the liability or headache. Residency programs are hard to get into to, so filling the spot isn’t difficult at all.
This is very true. If she ever does do anything to harm a patient, this shows a pattern, and an attorney could make the claim that her employer should have known about her history of threats. They will be held liable for her actions.

If you threatened to harm patients in your capacity as a nurse, I'd expect your license to be revoked, not just investigated.
