His wife, or a woman with his last name is also an intern at SUNY Upstate.
I'm just trying to understand the logic of setting up a camera in the bathroom to catch an Adderall thief. What is the likelihood that the thief is even going to dose himself in that bathroom? And even if you catch someone taking pills, how are you supposed to tell if it's Adderall or Zyrtec? And you're going to sift through hours of video every day to try to capture this? On an ICU rotation?
Assuming that was the reason for setting up the camera (and it doesn't really pass the smell test), I don't think poor judgment is the only problem here.
So apparently he found the empty pill bottle in the trash, was taking it for ADHD, and was an investigative journalist before med school. It was certainly stupid, but with that info I could actually believe he did it after being sleep deprived (ICU rotation), off his meds, and with his history and the fact it wasn't pointed to the stalls or had any illicit content in it. Definitely extended lapse in judgement, but I buy his story.
How does someone have time and money to set up surveillance like that?
Those things are cheap, like $15-$20. He was clearly obsessed with the idea of the theft and he was an investigative journalist prior to med school, so it was probably a bit of a hobby of his. Crazy idea, and most would have the foresight not to do it. Apparently he also had one on/near his bag as well.
Sounds like he is probably a perv. Who plants cameras in the bathroom to try to catch a thief-that doesn't even make sense if it didnt display incredibly bad judgement. Sounds like that ER doc that masturbated into a patient's face and claimed the semen got there because he masturbated right before the exam and didnt wash his hands before examining her....
I feel way worse for the resident who got fired because someone used his login to access a celebrity health record. That sounds plausible (we probably all forget to log off once in a while).

See above. It wasn't pointed into stalls or at angles/locations that would have caught illicit images. The police said it didn't contain anything like that. He's still stupid for it, but I could buy someone doing something stupid like that without thinking. I mean just look at youtube.
she might be able to appeal this i would think...after all no charges were filed against her and it was an episode outside of the hospital and she wasn't on duty...sounds like she should have to undergo anger management or some sort of remediation...even if they ding her for being unprofessional, it seems that it could be a probation issue...but even if she finished being able to be employed somewhere would be difficult.
I imagine she probably already went through the appeals process given how much time has passed. What got her was the bad press of it all. People really went crazy over the idea of an "entitled" DOCTOR acting childish. Doctors aren't people after all, they don't make mistakes or do stupid things.
Well a one-provider office is going to have lots of people wearing multiple hats. So you're technically correct, but those tiny practices are far outnumbered by larger practices and employed groups these days. That would be the type of setting to discuss him aiming for. But, I doubt someone with this history is hireable by a medical practice, front desk or no, so it's all a moo point.
As in a cow's opinion, right? Sorry, had to do it:
ok, just got up to speed on the neuro resident video firing
lol... America forgives drunks. Yes it does. In fact, I already forgive this girl.
Looks like she started it, and sure, none of what she does is OK, but I would like to point out, how the heck did the guy end up outside the car and restraining her hands? sure she's drunk and belligerent, but that's exactly why that presumably sober dude shouldn't be laying hands on her
she walks off and he follows her!
granted, just because somebody "starts" with you, doesn't mean you should "finish" it, a lesson both the Uber driver and the resident clearly didn't have in mind
granted she's drunk, caught on tape, and had more to lose than he did, but seeing that dude grabbing her hands and shoving her just sat wrong with me
EDIT: did she put the dent in his car? if so whoa
still, I still don't know that you can then use that to justify physically restraining someone... my friend is a prosecutor, and he said the smart thing is to just leave to a safe location, you can't use vandalism or destruction of property as an excuse
Yeah, no, its a very long video and she caused a lot of damage and assaulted him multiple times. He was actually very restrained in his response. Part of that was probably because she's 100 lb and 5 ft tall.
God residency must be stressful if he can't even wait to go home to do it
Dude, that was so messed up. He like drove around town, then called women over to the car while he was doing it. Crazy. And wayyy too close to where I live. What the heck is going on?
