I’m reading about current medical scandals that are so blatant, it’s just ridiculous that these institutions didn’t investigate earlier.
At a well-known and prominent fertility clinic associated with Yale University, a staff nurse was stealing all the pain medication and patients were given placebos. She lied to the patients and told them pain was normal. Some of them experienced excruciating pain that in at least one case, cause her to give up on any further fertility treatment.

“…Several women were complaining about their pain and … were ignored and dismissed and gaslit,” Kelly Fitzpatrick, the lawyer representing the women, said. “The opioid crisis has been going on for many years now … these medical institutions are supposed to have controls in place that prevent diversion and [Yale] didn’t.”…
And then, an OBGYN physician working for Columbia University hospitals sexually assaulted his patients for years. YEARS! And when one complaint finally led to his arrest, he was back at work the next week. No controls on his behavior. Not even a nurse required to be in the room with him. Unbelievable.

One of the victims of Dr. Robert Hadden was Andrew Yang’s wife, Evelyn. She experienced his abuse and never went back, but she didn’t tell anyone either. And Evelyn Yang’s experience was AFTER he had been arrested, but was back at work.
it is not necessarily the bad actors who earn in my scorn in these stories although certainly they are bad, but criminals are gonna criminal.
It is the systems built around them that support them and allow them to steal drugs, hurt and lie to patients, sexually assault patients, etc. that are the biggest transgressors. These bureaucrats need to be taken down.
