ER doctor mocks patient who said he was having trouble breathing
- 6 years ago
LOS GATOS, CALIFORNIA — A Northern California emergency room doctor has been suspended for being an all around crappy human being.
Cell phone video shows her mocking, ridiculing and cursing out a young b-ball player, who suffers from extreme anxiety attacks.
According to ABC News, Samuel Bardwell, 20, suffers from anxiety attacks and takes the sedative Klonopin to treat the affliction.
Samuel ran out of his prescription and hadn't had time to get it refilled, so that's why he ended up in the hospital emergency at El Camino Hospital in Los Gatos.
Enter the 57-year-old human blob, Dr. Beth Keegstra. Keegstra proceeds to mock, yank and verbally spar with Samuel and his father Donald Bardwell.
Keegstra then argues with Samuel and his father whether he's just trying to get drugs.
When Samuel told her that he could not "inhale," Keegstra laughed it off saying, "He can't inhale. Wow! He must be dead."
"Are you dead, sir? I don't understand. You are breathing just fine."
El Camino Hospital has suspended Dr. Keegstra from all facilities connected to the hospital.
