- Today we're gonna watch some doctors who were caught on camera
behaving very badly. Let's get started. - [Dr. Beth] Sit up. - [Samuel] What are you doing? - [Dr. Beth] Sit up.
I'm having you sit up. I - [Samuel] I can't get up. - [News Anchor] This morning this emergency room
doctor banned from working in this Northern California hospital. - Los Gatos.
(cat meowing) - [Samuel] If I could
get up off this chair, I really would, but I can't. - Yeah, you really should because- - I can't.
- This is ridiculous. - [Samuel] I can't and you're
not gonna keep tugging. - I don't understand what this doctor is frustrated with. Everyone can have a bad day, but when you're taking it
out on someone who's ill, that's like the worst form of it. - [Samuel] I just tried to inhale and I even told her I could not inhale. - (laughs) He can't inhale. Wow, he must be dead! Are you dead, sir? I don't understand. You are breathing just fine. - I mean, what the doctor is doing is totally unprofessional. It's not necessarily medically wrong 'cause he's clearly breathing fine, in terms of whether or not he's stable. But when you're mocking
someone and they're telling you they're having difficulty inhaling, you need to be able to
function professionally. - [Donald] They gave him fluids and they gave him something, a pill. I don't know what they gave him. Yeah. - [Dr. Beth] For what? - [Donald] For his pain
and for the anxiety. - So you need narcotics? Is that what you need? - [Samuel] Here we go. - The one thing that is
important for patients to know, when you come in and you say, "I need pain medication, anxiety." Not all doctors are gonna
be receptive to this. Can you imagine if a
patient comes in and says, "I need pain medication,
anxiety medication." When they're experiencing
something like collapsing during a basketball game and I say, "Oh, okay, I want to make sure I do the right thing that you ask" And I give it to them and they were having a heart attack the whole time that was never ruled out
and they end up dying. That's totally my fault. So there's a layer of,
this isn't a gas station or a 7-Eleven where you can just go in and order what you'd like. But at the same time, the
doctor should be receptive. If the patient's explaining
what worked well in the past, what does this feel similar
to, and then rule things out. - In my mind, I don't think she should be practicing medicine at all because, if it's not a race thing and she treats everybody that way,
then that's a problem. - It's very difficult to know whether or not this is a race thing from the limited footage. Obviously I don't blame the patient for saying that given the circumstances, but you know, doctors can be fined, doctors can be suspended. They can lose their license
for a period of time. They can do work to regain
their ability to practice. Just stripping someone of their license every time they do
something wrong is not good, because then doctors don't feel protected. And sometimes that can come at the cost of them practicing well, and also at the cost of their mental health. It shouldn't be something that should be taken away off of a single incident. Repeated incidents that are not improving with reprimands and suspensions,
et cetera, obviously yes. - [News Anchor 1] Listen closely. - [Ingham] Round and round we go, wheel of annoying patients we go. Where to land, nobody knows. - Okay, that doesn't tell me much. We're burnt out as a
health provider group. Sometimes we need to unwind and sometimes we do that through humor and dark humor. It should never be at the expense of a patient, making someone feel bad. - [News Anchor 1] Her
patient used his phone to record post-op instructions, but he says he did not press
stop before he went under. - [Ingham] Really, after five minutes of talking to you in pre-op, I wanted to punch you in the face,
and man you up a little bit. - [Medical Assistant]
Putting his IV in, he's like, "I always pass out when I look at the IV." - [Ingham] Why are you
looking then, retard? - [News Anchor 1] The patient filed in a lawsuit anonymously. He's identified only as
DB in court documents, claiming medical malpractice in part because of this false diagnosis. - [Ingham] I'm gonna mark hemorrhoids even though we don't see
them, and probably won't. - Why would you say that?
That's not even funny. Like they're saying someone's annoying and then they're saying
that you're gonna make up a diagnosis for them. That's so strange. - [News Anchor 1] Jessica
Stite was suffering from a severe case of the flu and waited one hour and 15 minutes as
her symptoms grew worse. - We've done a urine test on you. I've seen you. - You came in and said,
"I'm gonna check your pee." - Does that take three seconds, you think? - I don't know how long it is. - Do you want to be seen or not? - I wanna go home and get in my bed. - Then fine get the hell out. - In situations like this, patient says "It's so long, I wanna leave." I don't recommend you leave. I think we should finish the exam. We'll do our best to do
it in a timely manner. But if you'd like to leave, please, you're more than welcome
to do it, it's your choice. The more offense you take, the more that the patient
can grow even angrier and do something dangerous or problematic. Break something, punch something,
assault another patient. It's like you're just
creating more problems. - I will file a complaint
with a better business. - [Daughter] Mom, I got it on
video so it doesn't matter. - [Patient 1] And my
daughter is recording this. - [Daughter] What's your name? - [Dr. Peter] You're recording this? - [News Anchor 1] The
doctor grabs the phone right out of the daughter's hand. - Oh my God. - [Daughter] Gimme my phone. - I was almost like
starting to get to the point where I was like, why is
the patient recording this? Why are they talking about
this on Inside edition? - And then the guy grabs the
phone like, okay, come on. - [News Anchor 1] Dr. Peter
Gallagher says the patient was belligerent and
abusive to the office staff still he apologized saying in a statement, "I regret losing my temper and speaking to the two women in a manner that is not befitting a medical doctor." - Good apology. I have experienced patients
being really rude to my staff, but I don't step in to say, "I'm gonna yell and now
take control of this!" That actually is not taking control. Taking control of the situation means asking the staff members to
go into the back into safety, putting myself on the front lines to allow the patient to yell at me, while I am a soundboard,
explaining to the patient that they're free to leave,
if not, we can give them care. But you do not intervene, unless, like, someone's actually getting
physically abused or something. - TikTok plastic surgeon. Yes, that's apparently a thing. - Yeah, I hate that
that's what it's called. YouTube doctor seems like
I'm only a doctor on YouTube. I continuously work two to
three days a week every week. Not really taking time off at all since I graduated
residency seven years ago, which means I've been practicing as a doctor for 10 years now! - [Presenter] So this
is Dr. Roxy seen here doing lots and lots of TikTok dances. - Nothing wrong with dances on their own. - [Presenter] She was accused
of injuring her patients while she was live streaming
her surgeries to TikTok. - That's a big risk of
live streaming surgeries. Not only do you have to make sure all your paperwork's done correctly, that the patient understands what they're going to experience, meaning that people will
see their procedure, their insides, et cetera. But also that you're now recording
yourself making mistakes. There is no more damaging evidence than you recording your own mistake. - [Presenter] Now, allegedly,
she would get permission from her patients before
she did this stuff, but the Ohio State Medical Board apparently warned her that it is wrong to livestream your surgeries. - If the board of medicine is telling you you can't do something, don't test it. That's just like you're gonna lose. There's no if, ands or buts about it. - [Presenter] One patient suffered a perforated small bowel
and a soft tissue infection after Dr. Roxy was looking into the camera while performing liposuction. - So when you're performing liposuction, I've seen various videos
and social media content and even doctors in my
hospital who perform it, they have to make this motion. And when you're doing this motion, if you're looking away and not looking at the surgical field,
you can make a mistake. - So I guess she would
be doing liposuction while reading and responding
to comments on the live stream. - I'm worried about responding and reading comments on
social media, period. And she's just like, "I'm gonna do it while
I perform a surgery." Like that's the one time you
don't want to be distracted. - [News Anchor 2] For the
second time in three years, former Dr. George Blotty
found himself in handcuffs. This time charged with five murders all linked, Nassau DA says, to the excessive painkiller prescriptions written by the 75-year-old. - There's many doctors that function in what we call like a pill mill, where they essentially get money to prescribe huge doses of medications, usually controlled substance medications. Then that's very dangerous 'cause it fuels the addiction crisis. It fuels the secondary black market where they sell these
drugs on the streets. Obviously a lot of money is made, but also a lot of people
are suffering as a result, - [News Anchor] His alleged victims, three men and two women in their thirties, forties, and fifties, they were prescribed a total of 45,000 pills
over a four year period. - Right now in New Jersey where I work, I receive a report every month of how many of these controlled
substances I'm prescribing, how does it compare to fellow doctors in my specialty in my region. That's pretty interesting. There are some patients
that are coming in today and saying they're in
pain when just yesterday they got a 30 day prescription of opioids and I already know that's a big red flag. And we actually have pain contracts with patients that we sign, or controlled substance contracts where they say that they're
not gonna doctor shop, meaning go to multiple doctors to get the same medication. They're gonna be responsible and use one pharmacy to
the best of their ability. And when you have that contract in place, you have really good communication and very clear communication
with your patient. - [Presenter 2] Elizabeth Wettlaufer, a registered nurse who's
known to have worked in both public facilities
and private homes, was brought in for questioning
after a series of deaths of elderly patients in her care. - [Interviewer] Was this the first person that you did this to? - Well, there were other people that I've done it to who didn't die. - [Interviewer] Prior to James? - What did she do to
try and make them die? - [Interviewer] So was
this your first attempt at overdosing these people on insulin? - Yes. - If you give someone too much insulin, what happens is it radically lowers the blood sugar of a patient so much so that they can become hypoglycemic and that could be lethal. - And I didn't really want her to die. I just, I don't know. I was just angry and had this sense inside me that she might be the person
that God wanted back with him. - This is some kind of
religious thing it sounds like. - [Interviewer] Is that the point? And I hate to get off topic here, but the point where you had these feelings in your stomach and almost that laughter
after it happened. - Yeah. - [Interviewer] Is that the part that you didn't tell Dr. Khan? - Yeah.
- [Interviewer] Okay. - [Presenter 2] Elizabeth was sentenced to eight concurrent life terms in prison with no possibility of
parole for 25 years. - That sounds like an appropriate charge given the severity of the cases. We've actually seen this happen with nurses locally in New Jersey. There was a case where there was a nurse giving heart arrhythmia medication to a fatal dose in patients
without them knowing. If you want me to do like a medical investigation series on some of the worst crimes in healthcare, leave a comment down below. - [Interviewer 1] Malachi, they say you've been practicing
medicine without a license. - Wait, how do you practice
medicine without a license? Oh, this is the guy!? - [News Anchor 2] This
self-proclaimed doctor is only 18 years old. The police report says he was walking around the halls in a doctor's coat, witnesses reporting, he'd been roaming the hospital halls for a month. - Roaming the hospital and practicing as a doctor is two very different things. If he's not making decisions for patients, he's not giving the medications, he's not performing procedures. He's just impersonating,
I guess to some degree. - [News Anchor 2] But
police snapped this picture of the lab coat in his car on one lapel, the title anesthesiologist
on the other, his name. The hospital did not press charges claiming in a statement "The individual never had contact with any hospital patient." - But that's so ridiculous. Why is he walking around with like, what is it, Halloween? - [News Anchor 2] It was in early January that Malachi held a grand
opening for this medical clinic. - What!? No way. That's not real. - This is the new birthing
life medical center. - What? There's something... He opened the... Who's funding this!? - [News Anchor 3] And when
you peel back the tape, the sign on the door has his name, and those two crucial letters. - (laughing) Oh my god, I can't believe... How is this... How is he not in jail? - Your training comprises
of a lot of things. - Yeah, but you weren't in med school. - So, I'm not portraying as an MD. - This is like why YouTube
started their little logo. As you can see below this video, it says that I'm a real doctor with
a real medical license. And sometimes that's funny. Like, when I'm playing a game and it says, "Hey, this is a real doctor." And I'm playing a game, or
I'm making a video with Bear. We need something like this in
real life for this gentleman. - [News Anchor 2] As his business partner- - He has a business partner!? - [News Anchor 2] He
claims to have invested $10,000 in the clinic. - I feel like I shouldn't judge, until I know when the gavel hits and the jury decides that. - You need the gavel to hit!? My guy, ask him if he's went to school! - [News Anchor] An 86-year-old woman, police say he treated her recently for severe stomach pain and
charged her nearly $3,500. - What services did you provide? - 35? (laughing) - Services, you'd have to define that. - That's what he's asking you to, asking you to define the services. - Are you a fraud? - I don't appreciate your tone. - His tone has not changed
throughout the whole interview. - I don't know where you've
seen this information from, but it is inaccurate. I'm sorry. I'm gonna have to cut
this interview short. - [News Anchor 2] But he has said this may not cut his medical career short, saying he hopes to open
another clinic in the future. That is of course, once he's done dealing with his legal woes. - Who is investing into this? - I was a young kid that
got overly ambitious. - Wow. Overly ambitious. There's kids who are like 10 years old that run up to me like "I wanna be a doctor." And I'm like, "I think
that's very ambitious." He was 18 years old, didn't go to school and it was practicing as a doctor, that's definitely overly ambitious. Incredible medical
rescues caught on camera. Much better than these situations. Click here and check that out. And as always, stay happy and healthy. (upbeat music)
