Even if the doctor couldn’t hear, couldn’t they see or feel the patient moving in pain?

Yeah, this more reads like he was not even in the room and they used the hearing aid schtick as an excuse to make it less bad.

What an awful day to have eyes, that’s one of the worst sentences I’ve read in a minute. “For now” is the unwanted garnish on that particular turd sandwich, he should be banned from practicing medicine anywhere as fast as humanly possible!

In one instance at the Tampa Ambulatory Surgery Center in June 2023, Prasad “improperly delegated” tasks to a surgical tech, the complaint reads. The tech did not have a medical license but was instructed by Prasad to perform at least one inappropriate task from a list that includes scope insertion, scope manipulation, manipulating an instrument over polyps or tissue, or removing polyps or tissue.

“(Prasad) did not immediately stop the procedure when it became apparent that (the patient) was not fully sedated,” and he failed to realize it because he could not hear the yells, says the complaint. Tasks were also inappropriately delegated to a non-licensed tech during the procedure, the complaint says.

Not once but twice did he instruct a non qualified person to perform medical producers. Pretty open and shut case for pulling his license.

How about he's not allowed to perform them for the rest of his life? What made this guy decide "oh I think I can do this without my hearing aid!" that time? Because no where in the article did it state it was by mistake if this happened in two procedures.

Yeah he should lose his license.

Was there not a whole team? It’s not a solo procedure.

The secret is, all power is in the doctor who can fuck with everybody else’s careers, while he gets to go chat with a “review board” of his buddies from med school.

I think this is the primary reason they fight so hard against nurses getting more responsibility.

I know a lotta MDs and it’s depressing how accurate this is, particularly the last part. Also a huge culture of sexism exists among doctors.

John Oliver (predictably) does a great segment on medical review boards, and iirc it comes down to medical review boards being 100% ex-doctors who have strong predispositions and bias against reprimanding or punishing doctors, along with strong opposition to ‘non-medical’ trained people being included as an impartial and ‘common sense’ balance to reviews.

Not even the board. Their Union is one of the last strong ones and hoo-boy do they get to throw their weight around on medical institutions. They play super hardball when an institution or employees of the institution dares try to correct someone in the Union.

Others were in there, but he apparently ignored them…

According to the Herald, the order said that Prasad “continued to insert the scope despite being told to wait and began to thrust the scope into (the patient’s) rectum while (the patient) shouted in pain.”

…or misunderstood them?

The outlet also reported that a hospital administrator had been present in the room and told Prasad he needed to wait, to which the gastroenterologist "leaned over (the patient) and shouted “I know!” to the administrator, yet continued to manipulate the scope.”

Dude needs to lose his license.

Not a big fan of sue to sue, but this is the time. Show the hospital they must take further action.
