I give Drs + all medical professionals a special status bc they do the life preserving and saving work that is directly related to quality of life. We are so fortunate in the US to have the quality of healthcare we have. Healthcare professionals are licensed. We have high professional standards that defines the quality of care we have access to in the US. Patients who are able to+ have provider options, have to do their part in the Dr-patient relationship. But medical professionals are responsible for insuring their personal issues don't interfere w their or professional performance. And the limited numbers of licensed professionals who fall short of sub standard care have to be dealt with by someone other than a patient. They need peer and licensing board oversight imo. In my experience w this referred PCP, he literally weaponized his healthcare capabilities to do intentional harm bc he has a deep problem that he CHOOSES to indulge. This man doesn't even fit into the realm of 99% of Drs. His 'mistakes' were conscious ones. So he's I don't include him in the mix with the profession at all. He's an anomaly. He's a dangerous doctor bc of who he is+ not for any other reason. He's an abuser by his nature and abuses without remorse or effort to change. As typical of these personality types, he's 'charming' initially and by the time the facade is dropped, you've already been victimized. That's what I'm dealing with the after- damage of. I have to now deal with the medical residual of that PLUS now deal with the huge burden of addressing my medical records, which are legal documents, that he corrupted to discredit+ scapegoat me to obfuscate his dangerous behavior. If any of this was due to any reason other than malicious intent by a character disordered doctor, it wouldn't be the alarming problem it is. I see it for what it is, and what it is, is shocking to me. And now, it's my problem to deal with, added to what I was already drowning under medically. I live directed by principles. I'd love to just let this go, but doing so would be enabling it and that is not something my conscience will accept. Someone who does harm with the pathological skills he has, knowingly, does not belong unsupervised in the profession. That's the bottom line. This man is not like 99% of the rest of the profession behind closed doors. That's why it's so disturbing. I checked the Internet reviews and all of his prior ones from his years of practice were removed until one new one appeared a few weeks ago. I believe he had them removed- my conclusion+ I suspect he has a history that isn't known to his peers and is excluded from assertion by harmed patients. I'm going to find out what I can and do what I can try see that this doctor get put on the radar for oversight. That's my goal.

Doctors… Policeman… Priests… Teachers… society holds them to such high esteem, as we should since they all have powers and oaths to protect us. It is very sad when the very few bad apples take such a major campaign or tragic event to cull them out and remove them from the harm they’re causing because they’re all given much more of the benefit of the doubt for so long. It’s just so sad these bad people study so hard to aspire to these jobs only to abuse their power and hide behind the protections their chosen fields give them. I understand your frustration in trying to get justice and help protect others. I know it’s rare to have the bad apples, but I’ll be honest with you - maybe it’s because I’ve been through so many medical exams in my life that I’ve lost my bashfulness, that I’m going to say that maybe it wouldn’t be a bad thing to require cameras in doctors offices/exam rooms. It would help both patients and medical teams in protecting themselves, and having peer reviews when needed or requested. Technology is such that our cell phones, smart cars, and computers reveal so much evidence and clues when needed to help solve things. We have security camera in parking lots, stores, and highways, and police and their cars are getting more use of body cams; let’s add the protection and usefulness to doctor visits?
