Doctors Will Lie About Anything


In 2013, Dr. Tiffany Ingram, an anesthesiologist in Virginia, was caught on a patient’s phone recorder, which the man had set for pre-op instructions as he underwent a colonoscopy.  Dr. Ingram had made several inappropriate comments about the patient during the procedure, even making jokes about him and laughing.  She was ordered to pay the anonymous patient $500,000 in a malpractice suit - primarily because she was recorded saying that she would make a diagnosis of hemorrhoids found, even though there wouldn’t be any.

She lied about hemorrhoids.  How many years in prison should Dr. Dorigo, (et al.) get for lying about cancer? 

I just received in the mail from the Loyola Marymount Department of Health and Human Services, a survey questionnaire for me to fill out as a cancer patient.  Those who receive these surveys are listed on the National Registry as patients who have been diagnosed with cancer, as required by law.  However, the survey was addressed to Janet Winston, and not to me as my legal name (as defined by my driver's license, voter's registration and Medicare ID card).  It is intended for the other woman that this applies to, who had the cancer surgery at UCLA, and did have cancer.  I did not, and this is the absolute evidence that proves it.
