Police: MD threatened wife, kids with handgun

[Reform Tort Reform]

Tort Reform is a joke.

Mitchel is a good argument against malpractice caps.

Don't take out incompetence on the innocent injured.

If this liberal rag wasn't so anti-gun this story would never have made it into this "paper".

Yeah. And patients would continue to go into surgery with an impaired surgeon.

The doctor's lawyer suggests "his use of prescription drugs and alcohol may have been a factor."
This disturbs me way more than the handgun incident.

Yeah, and because he's a doc, he can write his own prescriptions if he so chooses.

Hopefully the medical board will restrict his ability to write certain types of prescriptions.

If he used a bat or a knife, they would not have even printed it unless it was a local story.

Komisarjevsky and Hayes used a bat and they printed it.

You sound like the old doc did a frontal lobotomy on you.

1) You don't point a gun at your wife and kids.

2) You don't go find confrontations at 1AM and bring a gun.

3) Drugs and alcohol are no excuse for bad behavior.

4) You shouldn't possess a gun while on drugs or alcohol.

Sounds to me like this guy is an idiot.
