Doctor Says Hospital Beat & Ruined Him

I have long been an advocate of getting rid of private medicine.

Private medicine serves no one but the privateers.

I was surprised to read of their achievements.

Anyone beating a national guardsman for whatever reason he needs to be out of a job or jailed.

Which is the prudent thing to do.

Interesting reading.

Why would any medical student even interview with a program that treats residents like this and/or is so low in the rankings that they have to accept mentally unstable people? I'm not saying anything about Dr. Alde's case against the hospital, this is entirely about appearances. Med students are notoriously flighty and extremely sensitive to situations like this. They don't like trouble.

And for goodness sakes, it's a psychiatric residency! Shouldn't they be the experts in handling situations like this??? We expect better behavior from cops on the streets even though cops don't actually know what they are dealing with, or the dangers involved. We get very upset whenever a generally harmless mentally ill person gets beaten up or killed by the police.

I'm not sure what this guy's "military obligation" is either. Does anyone know how this works? I'd think the military would bend over backwards to have a doctor complete residency as soon as possible so they could take him or her on board as a fully trained physician when they graduate from the residency.

Lot's of ugly here on both sides here (as there usually is...) and not enough info to figure out the entire story.

But it's pretty clear our society in general is very touchy about allegedly unstable people wearing military garb, as well we should be.

Whatever happened here is mostly just plain sad, a confluence of unstable individuals within an unstable society. From what I read the administration and private security firm did not respond to this situation, possibly of their own making, in a competent manner.

with residency

Though it can be negotiated around in many cases.

There has to be much more to this story that we have seen so far.
