For my new followers who missed all this drama 1-2 years ago... I used to work in ENT with two MDs and one MD/PhD who we will call Shitty Doctor. Shitty Doctor was a neurotologist and thought he was god’s gift to mankind. Anyway, Shitty Doctor got divorced when I started there
and went off the deep end. He started operating on EVERY patient who walked in the door. Literally every one would be scheduled for septoplasty no matter what they were being seen for, which was usually ear-related because he was one of the only neurotologists in the state.
He started telling patients with irreversible sensorineural hearing loss that a septoplasty would help them breathe, bringing more oxygen to their brain, and their brain would rewire and they would be able to hear again. Obviously this was a fucking lie
But most of his patients did proceed with it. When their hearing didn’t improve, he would sell them hearing aids out of our office so he could profit off of them not once, but twice, or he would do a revision septoplasty. None of these patients needed a fuckin septoplasty
And of course, as he did dozens of these procedures every week, people started ending up with complications like perforated septums, herniation of orbital fat into ethmoid sinuses, etc. a few elderly patients even ended up in ICU.
He eventually botched a cochlear implant and had a few other big fuck ups. He was reported by the scrub nurses for endangering a patient on the table... so I reported him for sexual harassment and for endangering patients in office as well.
He was suspended for a month, evaluated, and eventually came back and retaliated against me, as HR did not keep my identity private. He locked me in an exam room with him and screamed at me, physically threatened me, etc. I ended up leaving the practice over it.
The MD I worked with primarily, who I call Dr. ENT, ended up leaving the practice after our complaint to the medical board was brushed off. Shitty Doctor has been allowed to continue his butchery and endanger people’s lives up to this very day
