EARTH ROBINSON MEANT BY THAT,

149
00:04:14,466 --> 00:04:16,000
HIS ARGUMENT WAS THAT THE SIT-IN

150
00:04:16,065 --> 00:04:17,533
PARTICIPANTS IN GREENSBORO

151
00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:19,200
SHOULDN'T HAVE DEMANDED TO BE

152
00:04:19,266 --> 00:04:20,632
ALLOWED TO EAT AT SEGREGATED

153
00:04:20,700 --> 00:04:22,366
RESTAURANTS, BECAUSE THAT COST

154
00:04:22,433 --> 00:04:23,832
US THE LIBERTIES OF A

155
00:04:23,900 --> 00:04:25,300
FREE-MARKET SYSTEM.

156
00:04:25,366 --> 00:04:27,200
WHICH IS THE ARGUMENT NOT JUST

157
00:04:27,266 --> 00:04:28,000

CAN STILL EXPRESS THEM IN

STRIKING WAYS.

168
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:41,566
FOR INSTANCE, HE'S A SUPPORTER

169
00:04:41,666 --> 00:04:44,832

183
00:05:14,900 --> 00:05:17,166
IT EQUALS FOUR.

190
00:05:25,700 --> 00:05:27,033
INCOMPREHENSIBLY OFFENSIVE RANT

191
00:05:27,100 --> 00:05:29,300
WITH ONE INCONTROVERTIBLE FACT.

192
00:05:29,366 --> 00:05:30,100
I'LL SHOW YOU.

193
00:05:30,166 --> 00:05:31,800
"SEAGULLS HAVE NO BUSINESS BEING

194
00:05:31,866 --> 00:05:32,133
BIRDS.

195
00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:33,966
THEY'RE RATS WITH WINGS,

196
00:05:34,033 --> 00:05:35,800
UNDESERVING OF FLIGHT.

197
00:05:35,866 --> 00:05:37,000
THE CAPITOL OF TURKMENISTAN

198
00:05:37,066 --> 00:05:38,266
ISN'T SEAGULLS.

199
00:05:38,332 --> 00:05:41,133
IT'S ASHGABAT!"

200
00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:41,766
WHATEVER WEIRD SHIT I SAID ABOUT

201
00:05:41,832 --> 00:05:44,400
SEAGULLS BEFOREHAND, YOUR

202
00:05:44,466 --> 00:05:45,600
INSTINCTIVE TAKEAWAY IS, "WELL,

203
00:05:45,666 --> 00:05:46,766
I ADMIT, HE WAS TECHNICALLY

204
00:05:46,866 --> 00:05:48,600
RIGHT ABOUT THE LAST BIT."

205
00:05:48,700 --> 00:05:49,600
ROBINSON ALSO HAS SOME PRETTY

206
00:05:49,666 --> 00:05:50,700
INTENSE, IF UNSURPRISING, VIEWS

207
00:05:50,766 --> 00:05:52,466
ON ABORTION.

208
00:05:52,533 --> 00:05:53,100
HE'S SAID THE GOAL IS TO GET IT

209
00:05:53,166 --> 00:05:54,633
DOWN TO BEING BANNED AFTER SIX

210
00:05:54,700 --> 00:05:56,300
WEEKS, AND THEN JUST KEEP MOVING

211
00:05:56,366 --> 00:05:57,000
FROM THERE.

212
00:05:57,066 --> 00:05:58,666
AND JUSTIFIES HIS POSITION LIKE

213
00:05:58,733 --> 00:06:01,100
THIS.

214
00:06:01,166 --> 00:06:01,733
>> WE'RE TALKING ABOUT A CULTURE

215
00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:05,166
THAT WE HAVE CREATED IN THIS

216
00:06:05,233 --> 00:06:07,433
SOCIETY THAT TELLS YOU, WHEN YOU

217
00:06:07,500 --> 00:06:08,066
WANT TO FEEL GOOD, GO ON, GO IN

218
00:06:08,133 --> 00:06:10,133
THERE AND GO LAY DOWN AND DO

219
00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:11,333
YOUR THING, AND IF YOU GET IN A

220
00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:13,166
LITTLE TROUBLE, IT'S ALL RIGHT

221
00:06:13,233 --> 00:06:14,600
TO MURDER SOMEBODY TO GET OUT OF

222
00:06:14,666 --> 00:06:15,266
IT.

223
00:06:15,333 --> 00:06:17,100
IT IS NOT!

224
00:06:17,166 --> 00:06:18,600
YOU NEED TO BE THE ONE IN

225
00:06:18,666 --> 00:06:21,533
CONTROL OF YOUR BODY.

226
00:06:21,633 --> 00:06:24,133
AND ONCE YOU MAKE A BABY, IT'S

227
00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:28,633
NOT YOUR BODY ANYMORE.

228
00:06:28,700 --> 00:06:29,033
IT'S Y'ALLS BODY.

229
00:06:29,100 --> 00:06:30,900
>> John: THAT'S PRETTY BAD!

230
00:06:30,966 --> 00:06:31,900
THOUGH IT SOUNDS LESS LIKE A

231
00:06:31,966 --> 00:06:32,533
STANCE ON ABORTION AND MORE LIKE

232
00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:33,633
WHAT TOMMY LEE JONES WOULD SAY

233
00:06:33,700 --> 00:06:34,433
ABOUT VINCENT D'ONOFRIO IN

234
00:06:34,500 --> 00:06:36,533
"MEN IN BLACK."

235
00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:37,800
"WHEN A SPACE COCKROACH WEARS

236
00:06:37,866 --> 00:06:38,866
YOUR SKIN LIKE A SUIT?

237
00:06:38,933 --> 00:06:40,832
IT'S NOT YOUR BODY ANYMORE.

238
00:06:40,900 --> 00:06:46,200
IT'S Y'ALLS BODY."

239
00:06:46,266 --> 00:06:46,800
ALSO, I WILL SAY, IF THE WOMEN

240
00:06:46,866 --> 00:06:47,666
OF THIS COUNTRY DO THINK ITS ALL

241
00:06:47,733 --> 00:06:48,266
RIGHT TO MURDER SOMEONE TO GET

242
00:06:48,332 --> 00:06:49,066
OUT OF TROUBLE, THEY ARE

243
00:06:49,133 --> 00:06:50,033
CURRENTLY SHOWING INCREDIBLE

244
00:06:50,100 --> 00:06:52,233
RESTRAINT.

245
00:06:52,300 --> 00:06:53,800
ROBINSON'S WHOLE CAREER HAS BEEN

246
00:06:53,900 --> 00:06:54,300
BUILT ON SAYING

247
00:06:54,366 --> 00:06:56,033
ATTENTION-GRABBING THINGS -- HIS

248
00:06:56,100 --> 00:06:57,433
BIG BREAK CAME JUST SIX YEARS

249
00:06:57,500 --> 00:06:58,733
AGO, WHEN HE SPOKE AT A CITY

250
00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:00,133
COUNCIL MEETING IN SUPPORT OF

251
00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:01,900
GUN RIGHTS, AND REFERRED TO

252
00:07:01,966 --> 00:07:03,133
HIMSELF AS "THE MAJORITY" IN

253
00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:03,766
OPPOSITION TO "LOONIES FROM THE

254
00:07:03,833 --> 00:07:05,033
LEFT."

255
00:07:05,100 --> 00:07:06,166
IT QUICKLY WENT VIRAL, MAKING

256
00:07:06,233 --> 00:07:07,133
HIM A CONSERVATIVE RISING STAR

257
00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:08,366
OVERNIGHT.

258
00:07:08,433 --> 00:07:09,800
BUT HIS JOURNEY TO THAT POINT

259
00:07:09,866 --> 00:07:12,333
ACTUALLY BEGAN ONLINE.

260
00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:13,466
IF YOU READ HIS MEMOIR, WHICH I

261
00:07:13,533 --> 00:07:15,500
DO NOT ADVISE, HE TALKS ABOUT

262
00:07:15,566 --> 00:07:17,800
HOW, WHEN HE FIRST JOINED

263
00:07:17,866 --> 00:07:19,133
FACEBOOK IN 2007, "I DID SO FOR

264
00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:20,466
ONE REASON AND ONE REASON ONLY:

265
00:07:20,533 --> 00:07:21,366
TO TALK ABOUT PROFESSIONAL

266
00:07:21,433 --> 00:07:24,000
WRESTLING."

267
00:07:24,066 --> 00:07:24,966
BUT THEN, QUICKLY REALIZED HE

268
00:07:25,033 --> 00:07:27,233
COULD GET MORE ATTENTION FOR

269
00:07:27,332 --> 00:07:27,866
SAYING WILD POLITICAL STUFF AND

270
00:07:27,966 --> 00:07:29,332
MAKING AWFUL MEMES, EXPLAINING,

271
00:07:29,433 --> 00:07:31,332
I WANTED TO BE AS DEMONSTRATIVE

272
00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:32,666
AS POSSIBLE, BECAUSE I WANTED

273
00:07:32,733 --> 00:07:33,366
PEOPLE TO, AS THE GUY SAID,

274
00:07:33,433 --> 00:07:35,000
"COME AT ME, BRO."

275
00:07:35,066 --> 00:07:37,400
"I WANTED PEOPLE TO READ MY PAGE

276
00:07:37,466 --> 00:07:38,266
AND GO "WHAT DID HE SAY?

277
00:07:38,332 --> 00:07:38,900
DID HE REALLY SAY THAT?"

278
00:07:38,966 --> 00:07:41,133
AND THAT'S WHAT HAPPENED."

279
00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:42,600
AND BOY, DID HE GET HIS WISH.

280
00:07:42,666 --> 00:07:43,633
BECAUSE PEOPLE HAVE BEEN GOING

281
00:07:43,700 --> 00:07:44,832
THROUGH HIS FACEBOOK PAGE, AND

282
00:07:44,900 --> 00:07:45,400
I'M GUESSING, SAYING EXACTLY

283
00:07:45,466 --> 00:07:47,100
THAT.

284
00:07:47,166 --> 00:07:48,966
>> ROBINSON HAS A HISTORY OF

285
00:07:49,033 --> 00:07:50,366
MAKING STATEMENTS ON SOCIAL

286
00:07:50,433 --> 00:07:52,832
MEDIA THAT JEWS AND OTHERS

287
00:07:52,900 --> 00:07:53,766
CONSIDER TO BE ANTI-SEMITIC.

288
00:07:53,832 --> 00:07:56,366
HE SAID THE MOVIE BLACK PANTHER

289
00:07:56,433 --> 00:07:58,066
WAS, QUOTE, "CREATED BY AN

290
00:07:58,133 --> 00:08:00,266
AGNOSTIC JEW TO PULL THE SHEKELS

291
00:08:00,333 --> 00:08:02,566
OUT OF YOUR SCHVARTZE POCKETS,"

292
00:08:02,666 --> 00:08:04,000
USING THE YIDDISH WORDS FOR

293
00:08:04,066 --> 00:08:06,000
MONEY AND BLACK.

294
00:08:06,066 --> 00:08:06,833
ASKED ABOUT THOSE COMMENTS

295
00:08:06,900 --> 00:08:08,000
TODAY, ROBINSON SAID THEY WERE

296
00:08:08,066 --> 00:08:12,266
POORLY WORDED.

297
00:08:12,333 --> 00:08:13,166
>> John: YUP.

298
00:08:13,233 --> 00:08:13,766
I DON'T THINK THE PROBLEM WAS

299
00:08:13,833 --> 00:08:15,533
THAT THEY WERE POORLY WORDED.

300
00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:17,500
POORLY WORDED IS SOMETHING LIKE

301
00:08:17,566 --> 00:08:18,133
"YOU HAVE BEEN BROKEN UP WITH BY

302
00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:20,033
ME."

303
00:08:20,100 --> 00:08:20,933
I THINK THE MAIN ISSUE THERE WAS

304
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:22,100
HIS FLAGRANT ANTISEMITISM BEING

305
00:08:22,166 --> 00:08:25,866
WORDED AT ALL.

306
00:08:25,933 --> 00:08:26,332
THIS GUY CLEARLY ISN'T

307
00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:26,966
MARTIN LUTHER KING ON STEROIDS,

308
00:08:27,033 --> 00:08:28,666
IF ANYTHING, HE'S MUCH MORE LIKE

309
00:08:28,733 --> 00:08:30,733
YOUR SHITTIEST UNCLE ON AMBIEN.

310
00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:32,433
BECAUSE HE HAS A LONG HISTORY OF

311
00:08:32,500 --> 00:08:33,866
WILLFULLY PROVOCATIVE POSTS,

312
00:08:33,966 --> 00:08:35,066
INCLUDING ONE WHERE HE COMPLAINS

313
00:08:35,165 --> 00:08:38,633
THAT THE LIBERAL MEDIA ALWAYS

314
00:08:38,700 --> 00:08:40,366
TALKS ABOUT THE "6 MILLION JEWS"

315
00:08:40,433 --> 00:08:41,566
KILLED IN THE HOLOCAUST, IN

316
00:08:41,633 --> 00:08:42,566
SCARE QUOTES.

317
00:08:42,633 --> 00:08:43,533
HE ALSO ONCE QUOTED HITLER ON

318
00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:44,866
FACEBOOK AND THEN DEFENDED IT BY

319
00:08:44,933 --> 00:08:46,266
SAYING THAT QUOTING HIM DOESN'T

320
00:08:46,333 --> 00:08:48,000
MEAN HE SUPPORTS HIM AND THAT "I

321
00:08:48,066 --> 00:08:49,466
GUESS EVERY HISTORY BOOK IN

322
00:08:49,533 --> 00:08:50,366
AMERICA SUPPORTS HITLER NOW."

323
00:08:50,433 --> 00:08:52,633
WHICH IS BULLSHIT FOR A BUNCH OF

324
00:08:52,700 --> 00:08:53,366
REASONS, INCLUDING THAT A

325
00:08:53,433 --> 00:08:55,600
HISTORY BOOK AND A PERSONAL

326
00:08:55,665 --> 00:08:56,100
FACEBOOK PAGE ARE VERY

327
00:08:56,165 --> 00:08:57,366
DIFFERENT.

328
00:08:57,433 --> 00:08:58,633
CONTEXT MATTERS.

329
00:08:58,700 --> 00:09:00,566
THAT'S WHY YOU'LL NEVER SEE A

330
00:09:00,633 --> 00:09:01,500
MOTIVATIONAL POSTER AT HOMEGOODS

331
00:09:01,566 --> 00:09:03,166
THAT SAYS "NEVER LOSE HOPE, BE

332
00:09:03,233 --> 00:09:08,700
PERSISTENT AND STUBBORN AND

333
00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:09,700
NEVER GIVE UP", TED KACZYNSKI.

334
00:09:09,766 --> 00:09:10,800
ACTUAL QUOTE, BY THE WAY.

335
00:09:10,866 --> 00:09:11,833
BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE.

336
00:09:11,900 --> 00:09:12,366
HE'S ALSO REFERRED TO THE

PARKLAND SHOOTING SURVIVORS AS

338
00:09:13,533 --> 00:09:14,500
"THESE SILLY LITTLE IMMATURE

339
00:09:14,566 --> 00:09:18,666
"MEDIA PROSTI-TOTS," POSTED THIS

340
00:09:18,733 --> 00:09:20,200
IMAGE OF HIMSELF WITH A SIGN

341
00:09:20,266 --> 00:09:20,833
READING, "BEYONCE'S SONGS SOUND

342
00:09:20,900 --> 00:09:22,300
LIKE SATANIC CHANTS, CHANGE MY

343
00:09:22,366 --> 00:09:28,400
MIND," AND HAS SAID "I TRULY

344
00:09:28,466 --> 00:09:28,966
BELIEVE THAT THE "JUDGMENT"

345
00:09:29,033 --> 00:09:29,500
FORMAT OF THESE "REALITY"

346
00:09:29,566 --> 00:09:30,133
COMPETITION SHOWS LIKE AMERICAN

347
00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:31,166
IDOL, DANCING WITH THE STARS AND

348
00:09:31,233 --> 00:09:31,800
CHOPPED, IS A SIGN OF THINGS TO

349
00:09:31,866 --> 00:09:32,400
COME IN THE REALITY OF THE NEW

350
00:09:32,466 --> 00:09:32,900
WORLD ORDER."

351
00:09:32,966 --> 00:09:36,200
A BONKERS TAKE THAT HE EXPLAINED

352
00:09:36,266 --> 00:09:37,333
BY SAYING, THE FORMAT OF THESE

353
00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:39,300
SHOWS REMINDS ME OF STALIN'S

354
00:09:39,366 --> 00:09:40,700
"SHOW TRIALS" WHERE PEOPLE WERE

355
00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:41,466
LINED UP AND JUDGED THEN

356
00:09:41,566 --> 00:09:46,165
EXECUTED.

357
00:09:46,233 --> 00:09:47,000
OF COURSE NO ONE IS BEING KILLED

358
00:09:47,066 --> 00:09:47,800
BUT ALL THE ELEMENTS ARE STILL

359
00:09:47,866 --> 00:09:48,266
THERE.

360
00:09:48,333 --> 00:09:48,966
SOMETIMES I THINK THESE SHOWS

361
00:09:49,033 --> 00:09:50,366
ARE SETTING PEOPLE'S MIND ON

362
00:09:50,433 --> 00:09:51,733
THIS TYPE OF FORMAT FOR A MORE

363
00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:53,033
SINISTER REASON."

364
00:09:53,100 --> 00:09:54,033
AND WHILE THAT SEEMS VERY

365
00:09:54,100 --> 00:09:55,766
UNLIKELY, IF WE DID LEARN THAT

366
00:09:55,833 --> 00:09:56,665
"DANCING WITH THE STARS" WAS

367
00:09:56,733 --> 00:09:57,900
SECRETLY A STATE-LED

368
00:09:57,966 --> 00:09:59,866
BRAINWASHING CAMPAIGN TO GET US

369
00:09:59,933 --> 00:10:01,300
MORE COMFORTABLE WITH PUBLIC

370
00:10:01,366 --> 00:10:02,400
EXECUTIONS, I'D IMMEDIATELY HAVE

371
00:10:02,466 --> 00:10:03,166
A HELL OF A LOT MORE RESPECT FOR

372
00:10:03,233 --> 00:10:05,133
THAT SHOW.

373
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:07,966
AT LEAST IT'D BE TRYING

374
00:10:08,033 --> 00:10:08,566
SOMETHING DARING, RATHER THAN

375
00:10:08,633 --> 00:10:09,133
HAVE A CHMERKOVSKIY BROTHER

376
00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:10,966
PERFORM YET ANOTHER UNINSPIRED

377
00:10:11,033 --> 00:10:13,633
FOXTROT.

378
00:10:13,733 --> 00:10:15,200
AGAIN AND AGAIN, ROBINSON'S GONE

379
00:10:15,300 --> 00:10:17,433
OUT OF HIS WAY TO SAY THE WORST

380
00:10:17,500 --> 00:10:18,900
THINGS IN THE MOST PROVOCATIVE

381
00:10:18,966 --> 00:10:25,333
WAY.

382
00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:26,400
>> WE ARE CALLED -- GETTING

383
00:10:26,466 --> 00:10:27,033
READY TO GET IN TROUBLE, CALLED

384
00:10:27,100 --> 00:10:30,600
TO BE LED BY MEN!

385
00:10:30,666 --> 00:10:32,600
GOD SENT WOMEN OUT WHEN HE WAS

386
00:10:32,665 --> 00:10:34,633
SUPPOSED TO DO WHEN THEY HAD TO

387
00:10:34,700 --> 00:10:38,366
DO THAT THING, BUT WHEN IT WAS

388
00:10:38,433 --> 00:10:41,766
TIME TO FACE DOWN GOLIATH, HE

389
00:10:41,833 --> 00:10:47,800
SENT DAVID, NOT DAVITA, DAVID!

390
00:10:47,900 --> 00:10:50,066
WHEN IT WAS TIME TO LEAD THE

391
00:10:50,133 --> 00:10:53,733
ISRAELITES OUT OF ISRAEL, HE

392
00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:56,000
SENT MOSES, NOT MOMMA MOSES,

393
00:10:56,066 --> 00:10:58,633
DADDY MOSES!

394
00:10:58,700 --> 00:11:00,200
SEE, GOD KNEW WHAT HE WAS DOING

395
00:11:00,266 --> 00:11:05,966
WHEN HE MADE MEN BIG AND HAIRY

396
00:11:06,033 --> 00:11:09,300
AND UGLY 'CAUSE YOU'RE SUPPOSED

397
00:11:09,366 --> 00:11:12,733
TO SCARE AWAY PREDATORS, WHETHER

398
00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:13,533
THEY'RE IN THE WOODS OR STANDING

399
00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:14,966
IN FRONT OF YOUR KIDS IN

400
00:11:15,033 --> 00:11:19,733
ELEMENTARY SCHOOL.

401
00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:20,766
>> John: WHAT'S GOING ON THERE?

402
00:11:20,866 --> 00:11:22,133
IS THIS A SERMON OR ARE YOU

403
00:11:22,233 --> 00:11:23,033
WORKING ON STUFF FOR A SHITTY

404
00:11:23,100 --> 00:11:25,133
NETFLIX SPECIAL?

405
00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:26,333
ALSO, IF YOU'RE GOING TO MAKE

406
00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:27,733
THE ARGUMENT THAT MEN ARE BETTER

407
00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:29,900
LEADERS BECAUSE THEY CAN FIGHT,

408
00:11:29,966 --> 00:11:32,100
THOSE ARE TWO TERRIBLE EXAMPLES.

409
00:11:32,165 --> 00:11:32,665
WHEN DID DAVID OR MOSES EVER

410
00:11:32,733 --> 00:11:35,633
THROW HANDS?

411
00:11:35,700 --> 00:11:37,000
THEY DEFEATED THEIR ENEMIES

412
00:11:37,066 --> 00:11:37,966
THROUGH, RESPECTIVELY, A

413
00:11:38,033 --> 00:11:40,066
SLINGSHOT AND MAGIC.

414
00:11:40,133 --> 00:11:41,333
ONE THING ANY GENDER CAN DO, AND

415
00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:44,100
THE OTHER, NO ONE CAN.

416
00:11:44,165 --> 00:11:45,400
ALSO, "BIG AND HAIRY AND UGLY?"

417
00:11:45,466 --> 00:11:46,933
THIS TWINK?

418
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:49,733
PLEASE.

419
00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:51,200
PLEASE.

420
00:11:51,266 --> 00:11:53,165
AND LOOK, WE'RE ALMOST CERTAINLY

421
00:11:53,266 --> 00:11:54,000
NOT DONE LEARNING THINGS ABOUT

422
00:11:54,100 --> 00:11:54,800
ROBINSON.

423
00:11:54,900 --> 00:11:55,733
BUT THE DEPRESSING TRUTH IS,

424
00:11:55,833 --> 00:11:57,466
HE'S NOT AN OUTLIER.

425
00:11:57,533 --> 00:11:58,866
HE'S A PRETTY GOOD MARKER FOR

426
00:11:58,933 --> 00:12:00,400
WHERE HIS PARTY IS TODAY.

427
00:12:00,466 --> 00:12:01,233
BECAUSE REPUBLICANS HAVE GOTTEN

428
00:12:01,300 --> 00:12:02,533
STEADILY MORE RADICALIZED ON

429
00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:03,566
SITES LIKE FACEBOOK, AND IT WAS

430
00:12:03,633 --> 00:12:05,300
JUST A MATTER OF TIME UNTIL

431
00:12:05,366 --> 00:12:07,466
ONLINE TROLLS CROSSED OVER FROM

432
00:12:07,533 --> 00:12:08,533
RANTING ABOUT POLICY TO WRITING

433
00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:09,800
IT.

434
00:12:09,866 --> 00:12:12,033
IT'S ALL PRETTY BLEAK, AND

435
00:12:12,100 --> 00:12:12,600
HOPEFULLY, IF THE PEOPLE OF

436
00:12:12,666 --> 00:12:14,666
NORTH CAROLINA DO THE RIGHT

437
00:12:14,733 --> 00:12:15,666
THING, THE NUMBER OF YEARS THIS

438
00:12:15,733 --> 00:12:17,433
PARTICULAR TROLL SERVES AS

439
00:12:17,500 --> 00:12:18,700
GOVERNOR WON'T BE TWO PLUS TWO.

440
00:12:18,766 --> 00:12:19,533
IT'LL BE FUCKING ZERO.

441
00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:21,600
AND NOW THIS.

442
00:12:21,666 --> 00:12:28,666
>> Announcer: AND NOW,

443
00:12:28,866 --> 00:12:32,400
COLLAR SHOW ONCE AGAIN WHY THEY

444
00:12:32,466 --> 00:12:34,600
ARE AMERICA THEIR BEST.

445
00:12:34,665 --> 00:12:37,866
>> I AM A 25-YEAR-OLD TURNING 26

446
00:12:37,933 --> 00:12:40,400
SO I'M STILL UNDER MY PARENT'S

447
00:12:40,466 --> 00:12:40,700
HEALTH CARE.

448
00:12:40,766 --> 00:12:41,866
WITH MY BIRTHDAY COMING UP I

449
00:12:41,933 --> 00:12:44,566
HAVE TO SWITCH OVER.

450
00:12:44,633 --> 00:12:46,633
>> IS COST A CONCERN?

451
00:12:46,700 --> 00:12:48,900
>> YEAH, OBVIOUSLY, I HAVE A

452
00:12:48,966 --> 00:12:52,433
TINY PENIS.

453
00:12:52,500 --> 00:12:54,366
>> ERIC FROM CEDARTOWN GEORGIA.

454
00:12:54,433 --> 00:12:57,500
>> IF YOU LOSE WEIGHT, WHAT WILL

455
00:12:57,566 --> 00:12:57,733
HAPPEN?

456
00:12:57,800 --> 00:13:01,833
>> WELL, IF YOU LOSE 5 POUNDS,

457
00:13:01,933 --> 00:13:04,866
THE MALE WILL GAIN 1 INCH ON HIS

458
00:13:04,933 --> 00:13:05,066
PENIS.

459
00:13:05,133 --> 00:13:07,633
>> ALL THIS HAPPENING, I DIG

460
00:13:07,700 --> 00:13:08,900
ABOUT THE COMPARISON, I CAN'T

461
00:13:08,966 --> 00:13:12,833
REMEMBER THE LAST TIME I WAS

462
00:13:12,900 --> 00:13:14,433
ABLE TO RENEW MY SUBSCRIPTIONS

463
00:13:14,500 --> 00:13:15,766
FOR MY PENIS ENLARGEMENT.

464
00:13:15,833 --> 00:13:16,400
>> NEXT OUT.

465
00:13:16,466 --> 00:13:19,400
>> I WAS IN D.C. LAST WEEK AND I

466
00:13:19,466 --> 00:13:20,433
HAD THE PLEASURE OF SEEING THE

467
00:13:20,500 --> 00:13:21,233
WASHINGTON MONUMENT AND BELIEVE

468
00:13:21,300 --> 00:13:24,333
IT OR NOT, IT LOOKED EXACTLY

469
00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:27,266
LIKE MY ERECT PENIS.

470
00:13:27,333 --> 00:13:28,666
>> WE ARE MOVING ON.

471
00:13:28,733 --> 00:13:31,433
>> THIS GUY TOLD ME I HAD A TINY

472
00:13:31,500 --> 00:13:31,633
COCK.

473
00:13:31,700 --> 00:13:35,200
>> WE ARE MOVING ON TO MICHAEL

474
00:13:35,300 --> 00:13:35,866
IN HUNTSVILLE, ALABAMA.

475
00:13:35,933 --> 00:13:39,000
>> HI, I WANT TO TALK ABOUT HOW

476
00:13:39,066 --> 00:13:40,633
MY DICK IS THE HUGEST VIEW FIVE.

477
00:13:40,700 --> 00:13:44,266
>> RUSSELL, HOUSTON, TEXAS.

478
00:13:44,333 --> 00:13:47,000
>> THAT'S VERY NICE OF YOU.

479
00:13:47,066 --> 00:13:49,333
>> AND OF COURSE, MITT ROMNEY

480
00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:55,033
HAS HIGH EXPECTATIONS OR AS THE

481
00:13:55,100 --> 00:13:55,600
VICTORY IN THE NEW HAMPSHIRE

482
00:13:55,665 --> 00:14:01,900
PRIMARY, I WAS WONDERING HOW BIG

483
00:14:01,966 --> 00:14:05,300
IS MITT ROMNEY'S PENIS?

484
00:14:05,366 --> 00:14:06,533
[LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE]

485
00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:07,700
>> John: MOVING ON.

486
00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:08,333
OUR MAIN STORY TONIGHT CONCERNS

487
00:14:08,433 --> 00:14:08,633
MEDICINE.

488
00:14:08,700 --> 00:14:10,633
THE THING THAT TUMS TECHNICALLY

489
00:14:10,700 --> 00:14:12,600
ARE, EVEN THOUGH PERSONALLY, I

490
00:14:12,666 --> 00:14:14,133
CONSIDER THEM CANDY.

491
00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:14,833
MEDICINE IS OBVIOUSLY A

492
00:14:14,900 --> 00:14:15,400
HIGH-STAKES PROFESSION, AND

493
00:14:15,466 --> 00:14:17,333
MISTAKES CAN HAPPEN, AS

494
00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:17,933
EVIDENCED BY SCENES LIKE THIS,

495
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:18,900
FROM THE PROCEDURAL DRAMA

496
00:14:18,966 --> 00:14:20,133
"911: LONE STAR."

497
00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:21,333
>> FRED?

498
00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:24,066
NO PULSE.

499
00:14:24,133 --> 00:14:26,333
I'M STARTING COMPRESSIONS.

500
00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:30,400
MEDICAL'S HERE.

501
00:14:30,466 --> 00:14:37,466
>> John: OKAY, YOU'VE PROBABLY

502
00:14:38,665 --> 00:14:39,233
GOT A LOT OF QUESTIONS, SO LET'S

503
00:14:39,300 --> 00:14:39,466
DIVE IN.

504
00:14:39,533 --> 00:14:40,066
"WHY DID THAT GUY'S CHEST CAVE

505
00:14:40,133 --> 00:14:40,266
IN?"

506
00:14:40,333 --> 00:14:41,133
HE WAS FROZEN.

507
00:14:41,233 --> 00:14:47,066
"HOW DID HE GET SO FROZEN?"

508
00:14:47,133 --> 00:14:47,900
HE GO STUCK IN HIS IN-HOME

509
00:14:47,966 --> 00:14:48,333
CRYOTHERAPY CHAMBER.

510
00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:48,566
"WHAT?"

511
00:14:48,633 --> 00:14:49,165
HE WAS A BILLIONAIRE WHO HAD A

512
00:14:49,233 --> 00:14:49,833
CRYOTHERAPY CHAMBER IN HIS HOME,

513
00:14:49,900 --> 00:14:50,366
AND GOT STUCK IN IT AFTER

514
00:14:50,433 --> 00:14:55,566
ENTERING THE WRONG SETTING AND

515
00:14:55,633 --> 00:14:56,433
AFTER GETTING PARALYZED BECAUSE

516
00:14:56,500 --> 00:14:57,033
OF THE POISON HE'D BEEN TRYING

517
00:14:57,100 --> 00:14:58,866
TO USE TO KILL HIS WIFE -- THE

518
00:14:58,933 --> 00:14:59,500
BLONDE LADY -- WITH WHOM HE HAD

519
00:14:59,566 --> 00:15:00,133
AN OPEN MARRIAGE, AND WHO, YES,

520
00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:00,700
GOOD GUESS, WAS FUCKING ROB

521
00:15:00,766 --> 00:15:00,900
LOWE.

522
00:15:00,966 --> 00:15:01,533
AND FINALLY, WHY WAS THAT MAN'S

523
00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:01,866
CHEST HOLLOW?"

524
00:15:01,933 --> 00:15:02,433
HONESTLY, I'M NOT SURE ABOUT

525
00:15:02,500 --> 00:15:02,700
THAT ONE.

526
00:15:02,766 --> 00:15:03,333
I DIDN'T THINK COLD TEMPERATURES

527
00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:04,600
AUTOMATICALLY TURNED HUMAN

528
00:15:04,666 --> 00:15:05,300
BEINGS INTO HOLLOW CHOCOLATE

529
00:15:05,366 --> 00:15:07,466
BUNNIES, BUT I ADMIT, I'M NOT A

530
00:15:07,533 --> 00:15:09,300
DOCTOR.

531
00:15:09,366 --> 00:15:10,400
AND LOOK, IN THAT CASE, THE

532
00:15:10,466 --> 00:15:11,633
MISTAKE OF PERFORMING CHEST

533
00:15:11,700 --> 00:15:14,233
COMPRESSIONS ON A MAN WHO'S

534
00:15:14,333 --> 00:15:15,466
FROZEN SOLID, AT MOST, ADDED

535
00:15:15,533 --> 00:15:16,066
INSULT TO INJURY.

536
00:15:16,133 --> 00:15:16,933
BUT IN OTHER INSTANCES, MEDICAL

537
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:20,266
ERRORS CAN HAVE FAR MORE DIRE

538
00:15:20,333 --> 00:15:21,066
CONSEQUENCES.

539
00:15:21,133 --> 00:15:21,933
AND THEY'RE MORE COMMON THAN YOU

540
00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:22,533
MIGHT THINK -- A 2016 ANALYSIS

541
00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:27,966
CONCLUDED THAT MORE THAN 250,000

542
00:15:28,033 --> 00:15:28,633
DEATHS PER YEAR ARE DUE TO

543
00:15:28,700 --> 00:15:29,200
MEDICAL ERROR IN THE U.S.,

544
00:15:29,266 --> 00:15:29,766
MAKING IT THE THIRD LEADING

545
00:15:29,833 --> 00:15:32,733
CAUSE OF DEATH.

546
00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:34,000
NOW, I SHOULD SAY-- MOST OF

547
00:15:34,066 --> 00:15:34,800
THOSE ERRORS ARE SYSTEMIC,

548
00:15:34,866 --> 00:15:35,566
ROOTED IN THINGS LIKE POORLY

549
00:15:35,633 --> 00:15:36,165
COORDINATED CARE OR FRAGMENTED

550
00:15:36,233 --> 00:15:40,165
INSURANCE NETWORKS.

551
00:15:40,233 --> 00:15:41,200
AND GOOD DOCTORS CAN MAKE HONEST

552
00:15:41,266 --> 00:15:44,800
MISTAKES -- THE HUMAN BODY,

553
00:15:44,866 --> 00:15:45,433
AFTER ALL, IS A SLOPPY PUZZLE OF

554
00:15:45,500 --> 00:15:46,900
WET NOOKS AND DRY CRANNIES.

555
00:15:46,966 --> 00:15:47,966
EVERY INCH OF THIS SKINSACK IS

556
00:15:48,066 --> 00:15:50,533
CONFUSING.

557
00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:52,600
SO LET ME BE CLEAR: THIS ISN'T

558
00:15:52,665 --> 00:15:53,133
GOING TO BE A TAKEDOWN OF

559
00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:54,200
MEDICINE.

560
00:15:54,266 --> 00:15:58,033
I DON'T WANT ANYONE TO SPIN THIS

561
00:15:58,100 --> 00:15:58,866
INTO A HEADLINE THAT SAYS

562
00:15:58,933 --> 00:15:59,566
"JOHN OLIVER, CHAMPION OF

563
00:15:59,633 --> 00:16:00,366
ILLNESS AND DEATH, FINALLY

564
00:16:00,433 --> 00:16:01,266
DESTROYS DOCTORS."

565
00:16:01,333 --> 00:16:02,366
DOCTORS ARE GREAT!

566
00:16:02,433 --> 00:16:03,966
THEY'RE ONE OF THE TOP THINGS

567
00:16:04,033 --> 00:16:05,333
ANY PARENT WOULD SAY THEY WANT

568
00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:07,466
THEIR KIDS TO BE, BESIDES

569
00:16:07,533 --> 00:16:08,233
ENGINEERS AND "JUST LIKE, NOT

570
00:16:08,300 --> 00:16:11,766
ANNOYING."

571
00:16:11,833 --> 00:16:13,533
THE VAST MAJORITY OF DOCTORS ARE

572
00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:14,300
DEDICATED PROFESSIONALS WHO

573
00:16:14,366 --> 00:16:15,233
STRIVE TO MEET REASONABLE

574
00:16:15,300 --> 00:16:16,700
STANDARDS OF CARE FOR THEIR

575
00:16:16,766 --> 00:16:17,666
PATIENTS.

576
00:16:17,733 --> 00:16:20,100
BUT A SMALL FRACTION AREN'T, AND

577
00:16:20,166 --> 00:16:22,000
CAN END UP DOING SHIT LIKE THIS:

578
00:16:22,100 --> 00:16:25,033
>> A DOCTOR PERFORMED SURGERY ON

579
00:16:25,100 --> 00:16:27,400
THE WRONG BABY.

580
00:16:27,466 --> 00:16:27,900
>> THERE'S NO EXCUSE FOR

581
00:16:27,966 --> 00:16:33,333
OPERATING ON THE WRONG BABY.

582
00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:33,833
>> INVESTIGATORS SAY THE

583
00:16:33,900 --> 00:16:34,400
52-YEAR-OLD DOCTOR ACTUALLY

584
00:16:34,466 --> 00:16:35,000
ADMITTED TO USING DRUGS WHILE

585
00:16:35,066 --> 00:16:37,966
CONDUCTING HIS MEDICAL PRACTICE.

586
00:16:38,033 --> 00:16:38,600
>> IN VIDEOS SHE POSTED ONLINE,

587
00:16:38,665 --> 00:16:41,400
DR. WINDELL DAVIS-BOUTTE IS BOTH

588
00:16:41,466 --> 00:16:41,933
DANCING DERMATOLOGIST AND

589
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:43,333
SINGING SURGEON.

590
00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:45,466
SHE MUGS FOR THE CAMERA AND RAPS

591
00:16:45,533 --> 00:16:46,933
WITH AN UNCONSCIOUS PATIENT

592
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:50,433
INCHES AWAY.

593
00:16:50,500 --> 00:16:53,700
>> ♪ GUT DON'T LIVE HERE

594
00:16:53,766 --> 00:16:54,866
ANYMORE. ♪

595
00:16:54,966 --> 00:16:55,466
>> John: LOOK, THERE ARE MANY

596
00:16:55,566 --> 00:16:56,066
SITUATIONS WHERE IT'S

597
00:16:56,133 --> 00:16:56,700
APPROPRIATE TO DANCE -- LIKE AT

598
00:16:56,766 --> 00:16:58,200
A WEDDING, OR WHEN A CARTOON

599
00:16:58,266 --> 00:17:00,400
RACIST SHOOTS AT YOUR FEET, OR

600
00:17:00,466 --> 00:17:01,333
ON A CERTAIN GRAVE.

601
00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:02,666
BUT IN THE MIDDLE OF SURGERY IS

602
00:17:02,733 --> 00:17:04,433
NOT ON THE LIST!

603
00:17:04,500 --> 00:17:06,233
THERE'S A REASON THE HIPPOCRATIC

604
00:17:06,300 --> 00:17:08,333
OATH DOESN'T GO: FIRST, DO NOT

605
00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:12,200
HARM.

606
00:17:12,266 --> 00:17:13,400
THEN, SLIDE TO THE LEFT!

607
00:17:13,465 --> 00:17:14,032
THAT DOCTOR, UNSURPRISINGLY, HAS

608
00:17:14,099 --> 00:17:14,800
BEEN SUED MULTIPLE TIMES BY

609
00:17:14,866 --> 00:17:15,965
PATIENTS, WHO CLAIMED HER

610
00:17:16,032 --> 00:17:17,133
NEGLIGENCE LEFT THEM DISFIGURED

611
00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:20,900
AND, IN ONE CASE, BRAIN DAMAGED.

612
00:17:20,965 --> 00:17:21,465
AND THOSE SORTS OF ERRORS --

613
00:17:21,532 --> 00:17:23,165
ONES CAUSED BY NEGLIGENCE,

614
00:17:23,233 --> 00:17:25,066
INCOMPETENCE, OR MISCONDUCT --

615
00:17:25,133 --> 00:17:25,965
ARE A CAUSE FOR SERIOUS CONCERN.

616
00:17:26,032 --> 00:17:27,133
BECAUSE A VERY SMALL NUMBER OF

617
00:17:27,233 --> 00:17:29,966
DOCTORS CAN COMMIT A LOT OF THEM

618
00:17:30,033 --> 00:17:30,633
IN FACT, ONE ANALYSIS FOUND THAT

619
00:17:30,700 --> 00:17:32,133
LESS THAN TWO PERCENT OF

620
00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:32,766
PHYSICIANS WERE RESPONSIBLE FOR

621
00:17:32,833 --> 00:17:39,000
HALF THE MONEY PAID OUT IN

622
00:17:39,066 --> 00:17:39,633
MALPRACTICE SUITS OVER 25 YEARS.

623
00:17:39,700 --> 00:17:40,266
NOW, THE GOOD NEWS IS, THERE'S A

624
00:17:40,333 --> 00:17:41,366
REGULATORY BODY THAT'S SUPPOSED

625
00:17:41,433 --> 00:17:42,400
TO PROTECT US FROM BAD DOCTORS:

626
00:17:42,466 --> 00:17:44,033
STATE MEDICAL BOARDS.

627
00:17:44,100 --> 00:17:45,766
THESE ARE PANELS WHOSE JOB IT IS

628
00:17:45,833 --> 00:17:48,533
TO ISSUE LICENSES, SUSPEND THEM,

629
00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:49,133
OR IN EXTREME CASES, TAKE THEM

630
00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:49,966
AWAY.

631
00:17:50,033 --> 00:17:52,933
HOSPITALS CAN FIRE A DOCTOR,

632
00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:54,000
PATIENTS CAN SUE THEM, BUT ONLY

633
00:17:54,066 --> 00:17:56,600
A STATE MEDICAL BOARD CAN ENSURE

634
00:17:56,666 --> 00:17:57,233
THEY NEVER PRACTICE MEDICINE IN

635
00:17:57,300 --> 00:17:59,000
YOUR STATE AGAIN.

636
00:17:59,066 --> 00:18:01,233
THAT DANCING DOCTOR WAS

637
00:18:01,333 --> 00:18:02,200
SUSPENDED BY HER STATE'S BOARD.

638
00:18:02,300 --> 00:18:02,800
BUT THAT'S ACTUALLY A PRETTY

639
00:18:02,866 --> 00:18:05,266
RARE OCCURRENCE.

640
00:18:05,333 --> 00:18:05,933
BECAUSE THE PERCENTAGE OF

641
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:08,633
PHYSICIANS WHO FACE ANY SORT OF

642
00:18:08,700 --> 00:18:09,233
REAL CONSEQUENCES FROM MEDICAL

643
00:18:09,300 --> 00:18:09,866
BOARDS CAN BE SURPRISINGLY LOW.

644
00:18:09,933 --> 00:18:11,433
ONE STUDY FOUND THAT,

645
00:18:11,500 --> 00:18:12,833
NATIONWIDE, OF NEARLY 900

646
00:18:12,900 --> 00:18:13,733
PHYSICIANS WHO HAD BEEN JUDGED

647
00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:16,166
BY THEIR OWN PEERS TO BE AN

648
00:18:16,233 --> 00:18:17,466
IMMEDIATE THREAT TO HEALTH OR

649
00:18:17,533 --> 00:18:19,466
SAFETY, ONLY AROUND HALF HAD

650
00:18:19,533 --> 00:18:21,266
EVER HAD LICENSURE ACTION TAKEN

651
00:18:21,333 --> 00:18:23,300
AGAINST THEM.

652
00:18:23,366 --> 00:18:25,566
AND EVEN SOME DOCTORS WILL TELL

653
00:18:25,633 --> 00:18:26,433
YOU THIS IS A PROBLEM.

654
00:18:26,500 --> 00:18:29,266
LIKE THIS ONE, WHO ACTUALLY RAN

655
00:18:29,333 --> 00:18:31,066
MISSISSIPPI'S MEDICAL BOARD.

656
00:18:31,133 --> 00:18:31,700
>> WHAT FOLKS HAVE TO REALIZE IS

657
00:18:31,766 --> 00:18:33,933
THAT THE MEDICAL BOARD IS NOT A

658
00:18:34,033 --> 00:18:35,266
SUBSTANTIAL BARRIER TO THEM

659
00:18:35,366 --> 00:18:36,233
BEING INJURED BY A PHYSICIAN.

660
00:18:36,300 --> 00:18:38,533
>> John: WELL, THAT'S NOT GREAT.

661
00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:40,233
IT'S PROBABLY ONE OF THE LEAST

662
00:18:40,300 --> 00:18:41,533
REASSURING THINGS A DOCTOR COULD

663
00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:42,933
SAY, BESIDES "OOPSIES!"

664
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:45,466
OR "I'M RUNNING FOR SENATE."

665
00:18:45,533 --> 00:18:48,066
SO GIVEN THAT THESE BOARDS SEEM

666
00:18:48,133 --> 00:18:49,766
SO LAX, AND THE STAKES ARE SO

667
00:18:49,833 --> 00:18:50,833
HIGH, TONIGHT, LET'S TALK ABOUT

668
00:18:50,900 --> 00:18:52,333
STATE MEDICAL BOARDS.

669
00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:53,133
AND LET'S START WITH HOW THEY'RE

670
00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:54,800
SUPPOSED TO WORK.

671
00:18:54,866 --> 00:18:56,333
WHILE BOARDS' PROCESSES VARY

672
00:18:56,400 --> 00:18:57,766
WIDELY FROM STATE TO STATE, VERY

673
00:18:57,833 --> 00:18:59,466
BASICALLY, WHEN A BOARD GETS A

674
00:18:59,533 --> 00:19:01,466
COMPLAINT, THEY REVIEW IT AND IF

675
00:19:01,533 --> 00:19:01,933
THEY FIND IT CREDIBLE,

676
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:03,366
INVESTIGATE.

677
00:19:03,433 --> 00:19:04,566
AND IF THEY WANT TO TAKE ACTION

678
00:19:04,633 --> 00:19:06,500
-- LIKE SUSPENDING OR TAKING

679
00:19:06,566 --> 00:19:08,500
AWAY A LICENSE -- THAT CAN START

680
00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:10,000
A LOT OF NEGOTIATIONS BETWEEN

681
00:19:10,066 --> 00:19:12,000
THE DOCTOR AND THE BOARD.

682
00:19:12,066 --> 00:19:12,633
SO IT'S A LONG PROCESS THAT CAN

683
00:19:12,700 --> 00:19:13,600
BE VERY EXPENSIVE.

684
00:19:13,666 --> 00:19:15,066
WHICH IS A PROBLEM, GIVEN THAT

685
00:19:15,133 --> 00:19:16,000
MANY MEDICAL BOARDS ARE STRAPPED

686
00:19:16,066 --> 00:19:17,200
FOR RESOURCES.

687
00:19:17,266 --> 00:19:18,400
CALIFORNIA'S, FOR INSTANCE, HAS

688
00:19:18,466 --> 00:19:21,500
OPENLY CALLED ITSELF "SEVERELY

689
00:19:21,566 --> 00:19:22,066
UNDERFUNDED," AND AN OUTSIDE

690
00:19:22,133 --> 00:19:23,633
MONITOR FOUND THAT THAT'S LED TO

691
00:19:23,700 --> 00:19:24,700
"DELAYS, DISRUPTIONS, AND OTHER

692
00:19:24,766 --> 00:19:27,200
INVESTIGATION DEFICIENCIES."

693
00:19:27,266 --> 00:19:29,133
AND THAT MAY HELP EXPLAIN WHY,

694
00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:29,733
IN MANY STATES, CASES CAN MOVE

695
00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:31,333
SLOWLY.

696
00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:32,966
ONE LOCAL-NEWS INVESTIGATION IN

697
00:19:33,033 --> 00:19:33,933
NEVADA FOUND THAT SOME CASES HAD

698
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:34,533
SPENT UP TO SEVEN YEARS UNDER

699
00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:36,900
INVESTIGATION WITH NO

700
00:19:36,966 --> 00:19:39,033
RESOLUTION.

701
00:19:39,100 --> 00:19:39,833
AND THINK ABOUT THAT: THAT

702
00:19:39,900 --> 00:19:41,566
MEANS, IF A CASE WAS RESOLVED

703
00:19:41,666 --> 00:19:42,666
TODAY, IT COULD'VE BEEN FILED IN

704
00:19:42,766 --> 00:19:45,200
2017!

705
00:19:45,266 --> 00:19:46,433
IN THAT TIME FRAME, WE'VE HAD A

706
00:19:46,500 --> 00:19:48,266
GLOBAL PANDEMIC, A PRESIDENT WHO

707
00:19:48,333 --> 00:19:49,100
LOOKED DIRECTLY AT A SOLAR

708
00:19:49,166 --> 00:19:53,100
ECLIPSE, AN ARMED INSURRECTION,

709
00:19:53,166 --> 00:19:53,733
A DIFFERENT PRESIDENT WHO ENDED

710
00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:55,533
A SPEECH ON GUN CONTROL WITH

711
00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:57,233
"GOD SAVE THE QUEEN, MAN," A

712
00:19:57,300 --> 00:19:58,666
SOPHIE TURNER-JOE JONAS WEDDING,

713
00:19:58,733 --> 00:19:59,533
A SOPHIE TURNER-JOE JONAS

714
00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:00,300
DIVORCE, AND THE ENTIRE SERIES

715
00:20:00,366 --> 00:20:00,500
RUN OF

716
00:20:00,566 --> 00:20:02,866
"THE MARVELOUS MRS. MAISEL."

717
00:20:02,933 --> 00:20:04,533
7 YEARS IS JUST 7 YEARS, BUT

718
00:20:04,600 --> 00:20:06,733
IT'S ALSO 6,000 YEARS.

719
00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:08,600
AND ALL THE WHILE, DOCTORS CAN

720
00:20:08,666 --> 00:20:09,966
CONTINUE TO PRACTICE.

721
00:20:10,033 --> 00:20:11,633
BOARDS CAN CONTINUE

722
00:20:11,700 --> 00:20:13,666
DELIBERATING, EVEN IF A DOCTOR'S

723
00:20:13,733 --> 00:20:16,066
BEEN CONVICTED OF A CRIME.

724
00:20:16,166 --> 00:20:17,633
TAKE DR. GHYASUDDIN SYED.

725
00:20:17,700 --> 00:20:19,166
A FEW YEARS AGO, HE PLED GUILTY

726
00:20:19,233 --> 00:20:20,633
TO CONSPIRACY FOR FUNNELING LAB

727
00:20:20,700 --> 00:20:24,166
TESTING TO A COMPANY IN EXCHANGE

728
00:20:24,233 --> 00:20:24,800
FOR KICKBACKS -- BUT EVEN AFTER

729
00:20:24,866 --> 00:20:25,700
THAT, TEXAS'S MEDICAL BOARD WAS

730
00:20:25,766 --> 00:20:27,133
STILL DECIDING WHAT TO DO ABOUT

731
00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:28,433
HIS LICENSE.

732
00:20:28,500 --> 00:20:29,766
WHICH IS ESPECIALLY WILD,

733
00:20:29,833 --> 00:20:31,966
BECAUSE THIS WAS NOT HIS FIRST

734
00:20:32,033 --> 00:20:33,733
GO-AROUND WITH THE BOARD.

735
00:20:33,800 --> 00:20:35,400
>> IN 2016, THE BOARD FOUND SYED

736
00:20:35,466 --> 00:20:37,500
HAD FAILED TO MEET AN ADEQUATE

737
00:20:37,566 --> 00:20:39,433
STANDARD OF CARE.

738
00:20:39,500 --> 00:20:41,266
IN 2019, THE BOARD FOUND HE WAS

739
00:20:41,333 --> 00:20:43,266
PRESCRIBING DRUGS TO PATIENTS HE

740
00:20:43,333 --> 00:20:44,666
SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN.

741
00:20:44,733 --> 00:20:46,533
AND JUST LAST YEAR, THE BOARD

742
00:20:46,600 --> 00:20:48,866
RULED THE DOCTOR BEHAVED

743
00:20:48,933 --> 00:20:49,400
INAPPROPRIATELY WITH THREE

744
00:20:49,466 --> 00:20:50,933
FEMALE PATIENTS.

745
00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:53,100
SYED KEPT HIS MEDICAL LICENSE

746
00:20:53,166 --> 00:20:55,900
THROUGH ALL OF IT.

747
00:20:55,966 --> 00:20:56,500
HAS IT RIGHT NOW.

748
00:20:56,566 --> 00:20:57,366
IS STILL SEEING PATIENTS!

749
00:20:57,433 --> 00:20:58,533
>> I MEAN, YOU'VE BEEN CONVICTED

750
00:20:58,600 --> 00:20:59,833
OF A SERIOUS CRIME BY THE

751
00:20:59,900 --> 00:21:00,733
FEDERAL GOVERNMENT.

752
00:21:00,800 --> 00:21:02,233
>> YEAH, I -- YEAH.

753
00:21:02,300 --> 00:21:04,066
>> YOU'RE GOING TO REPORT TO

754
00:21:04,133 --> 00:21:05,100
PRISON IN A FEW MONTHS.

755
00:21:05,166 --> 00:21:10,866
>> YEAH.

756
00:21:10,933 --> 00:21:12,000
>> John: THAT'S SOME ODDLY

757
00:21:12,066 --> 00:21:13,000
UPBEAT ENERGY, GIVEN THE

758
00:21:13,066 --> 00:21:13,866
QUESTION HE'S RESPONDING TO

759
00:21:13,933 --> 00:21:15,766
THERE.

760
00:21:15,833 --> 00:21:16,366
BUT THINK ABOUT THAT -- HE WAS

761
00:21:16,433 --> 00:21:19,066
STILL PRACTICING MEDICINE WHEN

762
00:21:19,133 --> 00:21:19,566
THAT INTERVIEW HAPPENED!

763
00:21:19,633 --> 00:21:20,533
FOR ALL WE KNOW THERE WAS A

764
00:21:20,633 --> 00:21:21,466
PATIENT WAITING FOR THEIR

765
00:21:21,566 --> 00:21:23,300
APPOINTMENT TO START, WONDERING

766
00:21:23,366 --> 00:21:25,600
WHAT THE HOLDUP WAS, AND THEN A

767
00:21:25,666 --> 00:21:26,433
NURSE CAME IN AND SAID,

768
00:21:26,500 --> 00:21:27,000
"DR. SYED WILL BE RIGHT WITH

769
00:21:27,066 --> 00:21:27,633
YOU, HE'S CURRENTLY ON THE NEWS

770
00:21:27,700 --> 00:21:28,566
ADMITTING, WEIRDLY HAPPILY, THAT

771
00:21:28,633 --> 00:21:32,966
HE'S GOING TO PRISON.

772
00:21:33,033 --> 00:21:33,500
JUST GO AHEAD AND PUT ON A

773
00:21:33,566 --> 00:21:34,033
GOWN."

774
00:21:34,100 --> 00:21:34,633
AND THE FACT THAT DOCTORS CAN

775
00:21:34,700 --> 00:21:35,200
KEEP TREATING PATIENTS WHILE

776
00:21:35,266 --> 00:21:36,100
THEIR CASE GOES THROUGH THE

777
00:21:36,166 --> 00:21:37,166
SYSTEM CAN BE INFURIATING TO

778
00:21:37,233 --> 00:21:39,900
ANYONE WHO GETS HURT IN THAT

779
00:21:39,966 --> 00:21:40,100
TIME.

780
00:21:40,166 --> 00:21:41,000
TAKE THIS WOMAN, WHO SAYS SHE

781
00:21:41,066 --> 00:21:42,633
UNDERWENT A BOTCHED COSMETIC

782
00:21:42,700 --> 00:21:44,166
SURGERY THAT RESULTED IN SEPSIS

783
00:21:44,233 --> 00:21:44,966
AND AN UNPLANNED DOUBLE

784
00:21:45,033 --> 00:21:47,300
MASTECTOMY.

785
00:21:47,366 --> 00:21:48,633
IT WAS ONLY AFTERWARDS THAT SHE

786
00:21:48,700 --> 00:21:49,433
LEARNED SOME TROUBLING DETAILS

787
00:21:49,500 --> 00:21:51,000
ABOUT HER DOCTOR, AND A PRIOR

788
00:21:51,066 --> 00:21:51,800
CASE HE'D HAD WHERE A PATIENT

789
00:21:51,866 --> 00:21:52,966
DIED.

790
00:21:53,033 --> 00:21:54,400
>> THE MEDICAL BOARD OF

791
00:21:54,500 --> 00:21:56,333
CALIFORNIA HAD ACTUALLY REACHED

792
00:21:56,433 --> 00:21:57,900
A DECISION ABOUT DR. MALAVI IN

793
00:21:57,966 --> 00:22:01,366
THE 2018 PATIENT DEATH THIS PAST

794
00:22:01,433 --> 00:22:02,000
MAY, BUT IT WASN'T UNTIL OCTOBER

795
00:22:02,066 --> 00:22:02,833
THAT DECISION TOOK EFFECT AND

796
00:22:02,900 --> 00:22:03,600
MALAVI'S MEDICAL LICENSE WAS

797
00:22:03,666 --> 00:22:05,900
SUSPENDED.

798
00:22:05,966 --> 00:22:08,666
IT WAS WITHIN THAT FIVE-MONTH

799
00:22:08,733 --> 00:22:10,133
WINDOW IN AUGUST -- BEFORE ANY

800
00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:11,133
DISCIPLINE -- THAT MILLIE HAD

801
00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:12,466
HER SURGERY.

802
00:22:12,533 --> 00:22:13,200
>> I THINK THAT THINGS NEED TO

803
00:22:13,266 --> 00:22:13,533
CHANGE.

804
00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:14,133
I THINK THAT THE LAWS NEED TO

805
00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:14,800
CHANGE.

806
00:22:14,866 --> 00:22:15,800
I THINK THE MEDICAL BOARD NEEDS

807
00:22:15,866 --> 00:22:17,466
TO CHANGE.

808
00:22:17,533 --> 00:22:20,500
I MEAN, I'M A HAIRDRESSER AND

809
00:22:20,566 --> 00:22:21,900
THE STATE BOARD OF COSMETOLOGY

810
00:22:21,966 --> 00:22:22,533
IS SO ON YOU.

811
00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:26,000
I MEAN, FOR HAIR.

812
00:22:26,066 --> 00:22:26,600
WHY ISN'T IT LIKE THAT FOR OUR

813
00:22:26,666 --> 00:22:27,833
DOCTORS?

814
00:22:27,933 --> 00:22:29,333
>> John: SHE'S RIGHT.

815
00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:30,600
AND LOOK, I SAY THIS AS SOMEONE

816
00:22:30,666 --> 00:22:31,833
WHO HAS GONE THROUGH MY FAIR

817
00:22:31,900 --> 00:22:34,266
SHARE OF HIGH-STAKES HAIR

818
00:22:34,333 --> 00:22:35,833
BUTCHERINGS IN THE PAST -- BUT

819
00:22:35,900 --> 00:22:36,466
EVEN I THINK MEDICINE SHOULD BE

820
00:22:36,533 --> 00:22:37,200
REGULATED MORE TIGHTLY THAN

821
00:22:37,266 --> 00:22:38,833
HAIR.

822
00:22:38,900 --> 00:22:40,133
SO MEDICAL BOARDS CAN BE

823
00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:41,066
UNDERFUNDED AND SLOW, AND

824
00:22:41,133 --> 00:22:43,033
PATIENTS CAN SUFFER IN THE GAPS.

825
00:22:43,100 --> 00:22:47,933
BUT THE PROBLEM ISN'T JUST ONE

826
00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:48,900
OF RESOURCES, IT'S ALSO WHO'S ON

827
00:22:48,966 --> 00:22:49,233
THESE BOARDS.

828
00:22:49,300 --> 00:22:49,866
BECAUSE MOST ARE MADE UP HEAVILY

829
00:22:49,933 --> 00:22:50,166
OF DOCTORS.

830
00:22:50,233 --> 00:22:51,100
WHICH MAKES SENSE!

831
00:22:51,166 --> 00:22:52,233
THERE ARE MANY SCENARIOS WHERE

832
00:22:52,300 --> 00:22:53,400
PHYSICIANS HAVE TO MAKE

833
00:22:53,466 --> 00:22:54,633
DIFFICULT DECISIONS THAT ONLY

834
00:22:54,700 --> 00:22:56,433
OTHER MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS CAN

835
00:22:56,500 --> 00:22:56,833
EFFECTIVELY JUDGE.

836
00:22:56,900 --> 00:22:59,366
BUT IT'S GENERALLY AGREED THAT

837
00:22:59,433 --> 00:23:00,666
BOARDS SHOULD ALSO FEATURE

838
00:23:00,733 --> 00:23:01,300
PUBLIC MEMBERS, LIKE ADVOCATES,

839
00:23:01,400 --> 00:23:02,366
WHO CAN SPEAK ON BEHALF OF

840
00:23:02,466 --> 00:23:05,133
PATIENTS.

841
00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:06,300
THE THING IS, THAT DOESN'T

842
00:23:06,366 --> 00:23:06,766
ALWAYS HAPPEN.

843
00:23:06,833 --> 00:23:07,566
THE FEDERATION OF STATE MEDICAL

844
00:23:07,633 --> 00:23:08,533
BOARDS RECOMMENDS THE PUBLIC

845
00:23:08,600 --> 00:23:10,233
SHOULD MAKE UP A QUARTER OF EACH

846
00:23:10,300 --> 00:23:11,733
BOARD'S MEMBERSHIP, BUT ONLY

847
00:23:11,800 --> 00:23:13,633
ABOUT HALF THE BOARDS ACROSS THE

848
00:23:13,700 --> 00:23:15,066
NATION MEET THAT STANDARD.

849
00:23:15,133 --> 00:23:16,800
IN FACT, UP UNTIL RECENTLY,

850
00:23:16,866 --> 00:23:18,400
LOUISIANA'S BOARD DIDN'T HAVE A

851
00:23:18,466 --> 00:23:18,933
SINGLE MEMBER WHO WASN'T A

852
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:21,300
PHYSICIAN.

853
00:23:21,366 --> 00:23:22,566
AND THAT CAN BE A PROBLEM,

854
00:23:22,633 --> 00:23:23,200
BECAUSE DOCTORS TEND TO PROTECT

855
00:23:23,266 --> 00:23:25,266
THEIR OWN.

856
00:23:25,333 --> 00:23:26,366
JUST LISTEN TO THIS MAN, WHO

857
00:23:26,433 --> 00:23:27,166
SERVED AS ONE OF THE

858
00:23:27,233 --> 00:23:29,233
NON-PHYSICIAN MEMBERS ON

859
00:23:29,300 --> 00:23:29,800
CALIFORNIA'S BOARD, DESCRIBE

860
00:23:29,866 --> 00:23:32,533
WHAT HE SAW IN THE ROOM.

861
00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:33,466
>> THE WAY THEY SPEAK IS ALWAYS

862
00:23:33,533 --> 00:23:37,366
WITH DOCTOR CARE IN MIND.

863
00:23:37,433 --> 00:23:39,033
YOU NEVER HEAR PATIENT CARE

864
00:23:39,100 --> 00:23:39,400
EVER.

865
00:23:39,466 --> 00:23:40,766
AND, I MEAN, EVER.

866
00:23:40,833 --> 00:23:41,800
>> DO YOU THINK THE WAY THE

867
00:23:41,866 --> 00:23:44,100
MEDICAL BOARD FUNCTIONS IN THE

868
00:23:44,166 --> 00:23:45,333
STATE OF CALIFORNIA ACTUALLY

869
00:23:45,400 --> 00:23:49,733
ENDS UP COSTING PATIENT LIVES?

870
00:23:49,800 --> 00:23:52,933
>> THERE'S NO QUESTION THAT IT

871
00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:53,766
COSTS PATIENTS' LIVES.

872
00:23:53,833 --> 00:23:54,966
>> John: YEAH, IT'S NOT IDEAL IF

873
00:23:55,033 --> 00:23:58,333
A BOARD NEVER THINKS OF PATIENT

874
00:23:58,400 --> 00:23:59,400
CARE, SINCE PATIENT CARE IS KIND

875
00:23:59,466 --> 00:24:00,766
OF DOCTORS' WHOLE THING.

876
00:24:00,833 --> 00:24:01,600
WITHOUT PATIENTS, DOCTORS ARE

877
00:24:01,666 --> 00:24:04,900
REALLY JUST FAILED URINE

878
00:24:04,966 --> 00:24:07,266
COLLECTORS.

879
00:24:07,333 --> 00:24:08,500
THAT GUY HAS ACTUALLY CALLED FOR

880
00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:09,133
CALIFORNIA TO BE MUCH STRICTER

881
00:24:09,200 --> 00:24:11,066
WITH PHYSICIAN MISCONDUCT, AND

882
00:24:11,133 --> 00:24:11,800
IT'S KIND OF TELLING THE EXTENT

883
00:24:11,866 --> 00:24:13,600
TO WHICH SOME OF THE DOCTORS WHO

884
00:24:13,666 --> 00:24:14,700
SERVED ON THAT BOARD WITH HIM

885
00:24:14,766 --> 00:24:17,300
DIDN'T APPRECIATE HIS INPUT.

886
00:24:17,366 --> 00:24:18,233
>> ONE PHYSICIAN MEMBER ON THE

887
00:24:18,300 --> 00:24:20,600
BOARD CHASTISED WATKINS LAST

888
00:24:20,666 --> 00:24:21,500
MONTH FOR ROCKING THE BOAT.

889
00:24:21,566 --> 00:24:23,833
>> IN MY EIGHT YEARS ON THIS

890
00:24:23,900 --> 00:24:25,400
BOARD, I HAVE NOT ENCOUNTERED

891
00:24:25,466 --> 00:24:28,066
ANOTHER BOARD MEMBER WHO HAS

892
00:24:28,133 --> 00:24:31,733
BEEN SO NEGATIVE ABOUT OUR

893
00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:33,566
PROCESS AS MR. WATKINS.

894
00:24:33,633 --> 00:24:34,366
>> John: WOW, THAT'S PRETTY

895
00:24:34,433 --> 00:24:37,766
HARSH.

896
00:24:37,833 --> 00:24:38,366
ALTHOUGH I HAVE TO SAY, I HAVE

897
00:24:38,433 --> 00:24:38,966
NOT ENCOUNTERED ANOTHER PERSON

898
00:24:39,033 --> 00:24:39,766
WHO LOOKS MORE LIKE A LONG LOST

899
00:24:39,866 --> 00:24:41,700
MEMBER OF THE TRUMP LEGAL TEAM.

900
00:24:41,800 --> 00:24:42,933
HE LOOKS LIKE SOMEONE YOU'D

901
00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:44,300
EXPECT TO SEE SELLING SCALPED

902
00:24:44,366 --> 00:24:45,266
TICKETS FOR A BON JOVI CONCERT

903
00:24:45,333 --> 00:24:46,866
OUTSIDE MADISON SQUARE GARDEN.

904
00:24:46,933 --> 00:24:48,066
I COULD GO ON, BUT I WON'T.

905
00:24:48,133 --> 00:24:51,633
EXCEPT, I'LL DO ONE MORE.

906
00:24:51,700 --> 00:24:52,933
HE LOOKS LIKE THE "BEFORE" PHOTO

907
00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:53,600
IN A ROGAINE COMMERCIAL STARRING

908
00:24:53,666 --> 00:24:54,300
AL PACINO.

909
00:24:54,366 --> 00:24:58,166
OKAY, NOW I'M ACTUALLY DONE.

910
00:24:58,233 --> 00:25:01,233
ALSO, SAYING YOU'VE NEVER

911
00:25:01,300 --> 00:25:01,866
ENCOUNTERED SOMEONE SO NEGATIVE

912
00:25:01,933 --> 00:25:02,533
ABOUT YOUR MEDICAL BOARD'S

913
00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:03,100
PROCESS MIGHT SAY LESS ABOUT

914
00:25:03,166 --> 00:25:07,666
THAT GUY, THAN IT DOES ABOUT

915
00:25:07,733 --> 00:25:08,000
YOUR PROCESS.

916
00:25:08,066 --> 00:25:08,500
BECAUSE RETICENCE ABOUT

917
00:25:08,566 --> 00:25:09,133
PUNISHING FELLOW DOCTORS IS PART

918
00:25:09,200 --> 00:25:10,533
OF A MUCH BIGGER PROBLEM IN THE

919
00:25:10,600 --> 00:25:11,866
CULTURE OF MEDICINE -- IT'S A

920
00:25:11,933 --> 00:25:14,100
PHENOMENON SO COMMON, IT'S BEEN

921
00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:14,733
CALLED "THE WHITE COAT CODE OF

922
00:25:14,833 --> 00:25:18,366
SILENCE."

923
00:25:18,433 --> 00:25:18,900
IN FACT, EVEN WHEN MEDICAL

924
00:25:18,966 --> 00:25:21,266
BOARDS INITIALLY HAND DOWN

925
00:25:21,333 --> 00:25:22,200
HARSHER PUNISHMENTS, DOCTORS CAN

926
00:25:22,266 --> 00:25:23,566
STILL NEGOTIATE LIGHTER

927
00:25:23,633 --> 00:25:25,300
SANCTIONS WITH THEM -- WHICH

928
00:25:25,366 --> 00:25:27,000
BOARDS, TOO OFTEN, CAN CONTRIVE

929
00:25:27,066 --> 00:25:28,933
WEIRD EXCUSES TO DO.

930
00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:36,000
TAKE THIS CASE, OF A DOCTOR

931
00:25:41,633 --> 00:25:42,400
WHO WAS ILLEGALLY CONVICTED,

932
00:25:42,466 --> 00:25:43,033
WHO'D WRITTEN PRESCRIPTIONS FOR

933
00:25:43,100 --> 00:25:43,600
OVER A MILLION PAIN PILLS.

934
00:25:43,666 --> 00:25:44,166
>> IN 2016, THE BOARD'S OWN

935
00:25:44,233 --> 00:25:44,766
RECORDS SHOW HE WAS SUSPENDED

936
00:25:44,833 --> 00:25:45,400
FOR OPERATING AN UNLICENSED PAIN

937
00:25:45,466 --> 00:25:46,033
MANAGEMENT CLINIC, WHERE NEARLY

938
00:25:46,100 --> 00:25:46,533
10,000 PRESCRIPTIONS FOR

939
00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:47,133
CONTROLLED SUBSTANCES WERE

940
00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:47,333
WRITTEN.

941
00:25:47,433 --> 00:25:47,933
BUT 10 MONTHS LATER, THE BOARD

942
00:25:48,033 --> 00:25:48,433
LIFTED HIS SUSPENSION.

943
00:25:48,500 --> 00:25:49,066
IN ITS RECORDS, THE BOARD CITES

944
00:25:49,133 --> 00:25:49,600
FACTORS LIKE HE EXPRESSED

945
00:25:49,666 --> 00:25:53,033
REMORSE, HAD A GENUINE

946
00:25:53,100 --> 00:25:53,566
MISUNDERSTANDING OF PAIN

947
00:25:53,633 --> 00:25:54,433
MANAGEMENT REQUIREMENTS, AND WAS

948
00:25:54,500 --> 00:25:55,033
A VERY YOUNG AND INEXPERIENCED

949
00:25:55,100 --> 00:25:57,366
PHYSICIAN, EVEN THOUGH HE WAS 46

950
00:25:57,433 --> 00:25:58,966
AT THE TIME, AND HAD BEEN

951
00:25:59,033 --> 00:26:01,666
PRACTICING FOR OVER A DECADE.

952
00:26:01,733 --> 00:26:06,200
>> John: YEAH, I DON'T KNOW IF

953
00:26:06,266 --> 00:26:06,700
46 COUNTS AS "YOUNG AND

954
00:26:06,766 --> 00:26:07,500
INEXPERIENCED."

955
00:26:07,566 --> 00:26:08,900
I'M 46, AND I'VE BEEN DOING THIS

956
00:26:08,966 --> 00:26:10,666
JOB FOR OVER A DECADE, AND

957
00:26:10,733 --> 00:26:14,266
PEOPLE COULD SAY MANY THINGS

958
00:26:14,333 --> 00:26:15,233
ABOUT ME.

959
00:26:15,300 --> 00:26:16,666
"HE'S SQUAWKY," "HE'S HYPER,"

960
00:26:16,733 --> 00:26:17,300
"HE'D SEEM MORE LIKE A COKED-UP

961
00:26:17,366 --> 00:26:17,866
SOTHEBY'S AUCTIONEER THAN A

962
00:26:17,933 --> 00:26:18,466
COMEDIAN IF IT WEREN'T FOR HOW

963
00:26:18,533 --> 00:26:19,966
MUCH HE HATES EVERYTHING ABOUT

964
00:26:20,066 --> 00:26:21,133
SOTHEBY'S" -- BUT NO ONE WOULD

965
00:26:21,233 --> 00:26:21,600
SAY "VERY YOUNG AND

966
00:26:21,666 --> 00:26:22,533
INEXPERIENCED."

967
00:26:22,600 --> 00:26:24,766
IT'S JUST OBJECTIVELY NOT TRUE.

968
00:26:24,833 --> 00:26:25,433
THIS LENIENCY CAN EVEN EXTEND TO

969
00:26:25,500 --> 00:26:26,733
DOCTORS WHO'VE ENGAGED IN SEXUAL

970
00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:28,100
MISCONDUCT.

971
00:26:28,166 --> 00:26:29,800
A 2016 INVESTIGATION FOUND THAT

972
00:26:29,866 --> 00:26:31,333
SOME DOCTORS WHO'D SEXUALLY

973
00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:32,666
VIOLATED PATIENTS WERE RETURNED

974
00:26:32,733 --> 00:26:34,533
TO PRACTICE WITH AS LITTLE AS A

975
00:26:34,600 --> 00:26:36,133
THREE-DAY COURSE ON APPROPRIATE

976
00:26:36,200 --> 00:26:38,666
DOCTOR-PATIENT BOUNDARIES.

977
00:26:38,733 --> 00:26:39,266
WHICH REALLY DOESN'T SEEM LIKE

978
00:26:39,333 --> 00:26:41,100
ENOUGH.

979
00:26:41,166 --> 00:26:44,033
IF YOU ASKED ME TO GUESS HOW

980
00:26:44,100 --> 00:26:44,800
LONG THEY SHOULD FACE DISCIPLINE

981
00:26:44,866 --> 00:26:45,466
FOR, I'D DEFINITELY SAY

982
00:26:45,533 --> 00:26:46,400
"SOMETHING LONGER THAN ONE

983
00:26:46,466 --> 00:26:49,033
LOLLAPALOOZA."

984
00:26:49,100 --> 00:26:49,566
IN FACT, NATIONWIDE, THAT

985
00:26:49,633 --> 00:26:51,533
INVESTIGATION FOUND "OF THE

986
00:26:51,600 --> 00:26:52,533
2,400 DOCTORS PUBLICLY

987
00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:53,200
DISCIPLINED FOR SEXUAL

988
00:26:53,266 --> 00:26:57,200
MISCONDUCT, HALF STILL HAD

989
00:26:57,266 --> 00:26:58,033
ACTIVE MEDICAL LICENSES."

990
00:26:58,100 --> 00:27:00,666
AND THIS WAS PARTICULARLY BAD IN

991
00:27:00,733 --> 00:27:02,033
SOME STATES -- "GEORGIA AND

992
00:27:02,100 --> 00:27:02,666
KANSAS, FOR EXAMPLE, ALLOWED TWO

993
00:27:02,733 --> 00:27:05,500
OF EVERY THREE OF THOSE DOCTORS

994
00:27:05,566 --> 00:27:06,133
TO RETURN TO PRACTICE" WHILE "IN

995
00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:06,766
MINNESOTA, IT WAS FOUR OF EVERY

996
00:27:06,833 --> 00:27:08,833
FIVE."

997
00:27:08,900 --> 00:27:09,400
WHICH IS SO BAD, I'D LIKE TO

998
00:27:09,466 --> 00:27:10,566
PROPOSE A NEW STATE SLOGAN FOR

999
00:27:10,633 --> 00:27:13,100
MINNESOTA: LAND OF 10,000 --

1000
00:27:13,166 --> 00:27:14,200
ACTUALLY, FORGET ABOUT OUR

1001
00:27:14,266 --> 00:27:15,333
LAKES, SOMEONE NEEDS TO FIGURE

1002
00:27:15,400 --> 00:27:16,400
OUT WHAT'S GOING ON WITH THE

1003
00:27:16,466 --> 00:27:16,733
DOCTORS HERE.

1004
00:27:16,800 --> 00:27:19,566
JESUS."

1005
00:27:19,633 --> 00:27:20,266
SO, TO RECAP: PUNISHMENTS FOR

1006
00:27:20,333 --> 00:27:21,500
DOCTORS CAN BE RARE, LIGHT, AND

1007
00:27:21,566 --> 00:27:24,666
DANGEROUSLY SLOW IN COMING.

1008
00:27:24,733 --> 00:27:25,800
AND THERE'S ONE MORE ISSUE HERE,

1009
00:27:25,866 --> 00:27:27,200
WHICH IS THAT YOU MAY SIMPLY

1010
00:27:27,300 --> 00:27:29,366
NEVER FIND OUT ABOUT THEM.

1011
00:27:29,466 --> 00:27:30,033
A RECENT SURVEY FOUND IT REMAINS

1012
00:27:30,100 --> 00:27:32,633
TOO DIFFICULT FOR THE PUBLIC TO

1013
00:27:32,700 --> 00:27:33,500
FIND COMPLETE INFORMATION ABOUT

1014
00:27:33,566 --> 00:27:35,333
PHYSICIANS ON THEIR STATE

1015
00:27:35,400 --> 00:27:36,000
MEDICAL BOARD WEBSITES, DUE BOTH

1016
00:27:36,066 --> 00:27:38,000
TO POORLY DESIGNED AND CONFUSING

1017
00:27:38,066 --> 00:27:38,566
WEBSITES, AND TO GAPS IN THE

1018
00:27:38,633 --> 00:27:41,533
TYPES OF AVAILABLE INFORMATION.

1019
00:27:41,600 --> 00:27:42,866
AND WHAT THAT MEANS IS THAT

1020
00:27:42,933 --> 00:27:44,700
SOMETIMES, THE ONLY WAY PEOPLE

1021
00:27:44,766 --> 00:27:47,200
LEARN ABOUT A DOCTOR'S PAST IS

1022
00:27:47,266 --> 00:27:48,666
IF A NEWS ORGANIZATION LOOKS

1023
00:27:48,733 --> 00:27:50,900
INTO IT.

1024
00:27:50,966 --> 00:27:54,733
THIS MAN'S MOTHER WAS LEFT

1025
00:27:54,800 --> 00:27:55,266
PARALYZED AFTER A SPINAL

1026
00:27:55,333 --> 00:27:55,866
SURGERY, AND WHEN CBS LOOKED

1027
00:27:55,933 --> 00:27:56,500
INTO THE DOCTOR INVOLVED, THEY

1028
00:27:56,566 --> 00:28:01,800
DISCOVERED SOME AWFUL FACTS.

1029
00:28:01,900 --> 00:28:02,400
>> WE DUG THROUGH STATED AND

1030
00:28:02,500 --> 00:28:03,433
COURT RECORDS AND FOUND THAT DR.

1031
00:28:03,500 --> 00:28:03,966
SVABEK LOST HIS SURGICAL

1032
00:28:04,033 --> 00:28:06,066
PRIVILEGES AT TWO INDIANAPOLIS

1033
00:28:06,133 --> 00:28:06,900
HOSPITALS AFTER HIS "PRACTICE

1034
00:28:06,966 --> 00:28:08,033
FELL BELOW THE STANDARD OF CARE"

1035
00:28:08,100 --> 00:28:14,033
AND CONCERNS WERE RAISED ABOUT

1036
00:28:14,100 --> 00:28:15,866
HIS "HONESTY AND TRUTHFULNESS."

1037
00:28:15,933 --> 00:28:16,500
>> DR. SVABEK HAS SETTLED FIVE

1038
00:28:16,566 --> 00:28:17,133
SUITS OVER MORE THAN A DECADE,

1039
00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:17,666
THE MOST OF ANY ORTHOPEDIC

1040
00:28:17,733 --> 00:28:18,266
SURGEON IN INDIANA IN THE LAST

1041
00:28:18,333 --> 00:28:22,666
20 YEARS.

1042
00:28:22,733 --> 00:28:23,300
I DON'T KNOW IF YOU'RE AWARE OF

1043
00:28:23,366 --> 00:28:23,600
THIS OR NOT.

1044
00:28:23,666 --> 00:28:24,400
>> I HAD NO IDEA.

1045
00:28:24,466 --> 00:28:25,000
>> YOU KNOW, KIND OF LIKE WHEN

1046
00:28:25,066 --> 00:28:25,600
WHERE YOU BUY A CAR, IT HAS A

1047
00:28:25,666 --> 00:28:27,633
CARFAX.

1048
00:28:27,700 --> 00:28:29,533
YOU KNOW, IT'S ALMOST LIKE A

1049
00:28:29,600 --> 00:28:31,766
DOCTOR SHOULD HAVE A DOCTOR FAX.

1050
00:28:31,833 --> 00:28:32,566
>> John: YEAH, THERE PROBABLY

1051
00:28:32,633 --> 00:28:33,200
SHOULD BE!

1052
00:28:33,266 --> 00:28:34,733
BECAUSE DOCTORS KNOW EVERYTHING

1053
00:28:34,833 --> 00:28:35,733
ABOUT US -- IF WE SMOKE, IF

1054
00:28:35,833 --> 00:28:37,500
WE'RE DEPRESSED, HOW DEEP ALL OF

1055
00:28:37,566 --> 00:28:39,633
OUR HOLES GO -- BUT WE KNOW NEXT

1056
00:28:39,700 --> 00:28:41,066
TO NOTHING ABOUT THEM.

1057
00:28:41,133 --> 00:28:42,166
NOW, THE GOOD NEWS IS, THERE

1058
00:28:42,233 --> 00:28:45,966
ACTUALLY IS SOMETHING LIKE THAT

1059
00:28:46,033 --> 00:28:48,366
-- THE NATIONAL PRACTITIONER

1060
00:28:48,433 --> 00:28:49,133
DATA BANK, OR NPDB.

1061
00:28:49,200 --> 00:28:49,700
IT'S A FEDERAL REPOSITORY OF

1062
00:28:49,766 --> 00:28:50,833
INFORMATION ON MEDICAL

1063
00:28:50,900 --> 00:28:52,566
PRACTITIONERS, INCLUDING BOARD

1064
00:28:52,633 --> 00:28:53,533
DISCIPLINE, HOSPITAL DISCIPLINE,

1065
00:28:53,600 --> 00:28:54,333
AND MALPRACTICE PAYMENTS.

1066
00:28:54,400 --> 00:28:56,300
WHICH SOUNDS GREAT!

1067
00:28:56,366 --> 00:28:59,266
UNFORTUNATELY, YOU CAN'T ACCESS

1068
00:28:59,333 --> 00:29:00,166
IT -- IT'S ONLY AVAILABLE TO

1069
00:29:00,233 --> 00:29:00,933
HOSPITALS, MEDICAL BOARDS AND A

1070
00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:02,500
FEW SELECT MEDICAL AND

1071
00:29:02,566 --> 00:29:04,133
GOVERNMENT ENTITIES.

1072
00:29:04,200 --> 00:29:04,900
ON TOP OF WHICH, NOT ALL PROBLEM

1073
00:29:04,966 --> 00:29:07,433
DOCTORS SHOW UP IN IT.

1074
00:29:07,533 --> 00:29:08,200
IN FACT, OVER THE PAST 13 YEARS,

1075
00:29:08,300 --> 00:29:10,266
OF THE OVER 6,000 HOSPITALS IN

1076
00:29:10,333 --> 00:29:11,933
THIS COUNTRY, ONLY AROUND A

1077
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:12,933
THIRD SUBMITTED AT LEAST ONE

1078
00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:15,366
REPORT ON ACTION THEY'VE TAKEN

1079
00:29:15,433 --> 00:29:17,066
AGAINST A DOCTOR.

1080
00:29:17,133 --> 00:29:18,800
WHICH FEELS SUSPICIOUS, BECAUSE

1081
00:29:18,866 --> 00:29:20,333
I DOUBT TWO-THIRDS OF HOSPITALS

1082
00:29:20,400 --> 00:29:21,300
HAVE GONE 13 YEARS WITHOUT A

1083
00:29:21,366 --> 00:29:25,400
SINGLE DOCTOR FUCKING UP.

1084
00:29:25,466 --> 00:29:25,966
AND ONE REASON FOR THAT IS,

1085
00:29:26,033 --> 00:29:27,000
HOSPITALS CAN FIND WAYS TO SKIRT

1086
00:29:27,066 --> 00:29:30,233
THE REPORTING REQUIREMENTS.

1087
00:29:30,300 --> 00:29:31,100
FOR INSTANCE, THEY'RE REQUIRED

1088
00:29:31,166 --> 00:29:31,666
TO REPORT A DOCTOR WHO LOSES

1089
00:29:31,733 --> 00:29:33,166
PRIVILEGES FOR MORE THAN 30

1090
00:29:33,233 --> 00:29:35,333
DAYS, BUT SOMETIMES, HOSPITALS

1091
00:29:35,400 --> 00:29:36,300
WILL JUST LIMIT THE TERM TO 29

1092
00:29:36,366 --> 00:29:38,000
DAYS, SO IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE

1093
00:29:38,066 --> 00:29:41,433
REPORTED.

1094
00:29:41,533 --> 00:29:42,133
AND THIS CAN BE FOR MULTIPLE

1095
00:29:42,233 --> 00:29:43,733
REASONS, INCLUDING THAT THEY

1096
00:29:43,800 --> 00:29:44,433
MIGHT HAVE AN INVESTMENT IN

1097
00:29:44,500 --> 00:29:45,566
THEIR DOCTORS' REPUTATIONS.

1098
00:29:45,633 --> 00:29:47,000
IN NEW HAMPSHIRE, THIS

1099
00:29:47,066 --> 00:29:48,666
TOP-EARNING CARDIAC SURGEON WAS

1100
00:29:48,733 --> 00:29:49,233
ONCE FEATURED IN ADS FOR HIS

1101
00:29:49,300 --> 00:29:51,933
HOSPITAL.

1102
00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:52,566
BUT EVEN AS HE RACKED UP ONE OF

1103
00:29:52,633 --> 00:29:56,066
THE WORST SURGICAL MALPRACTICE

1104
00:29:56,133 --> 00:29:56,700
RECORDS AMONG ALL PHYSICIANS IN

1105
00:29:56,766 --> 00:30:00,200
THE UNITED STATES, HE WASN'T

1106
00:30:00,266 --> 00:30:03,866
REPORTED TO THE NPDB.

1107
00:30:03,933 --> 00:30:06,133
AND EVEN AFTER A SERIOUS

1108
00:30:06,200 --> 00:30:07,133
INCIDENT -- WHEN HE WAS ON CALL,

1109
00:30:07,200 --> 00:30:08,100
BUT "DID NOT COME TO THE

1110
00:30:08,166 --> 00:30:08,866
HOSPITAL FOR HOURS DESPITE

1111
00:30:08,933 --> 00:30:10,833
REPEATED PHONE REQUESTS TO DEAL

1112
00:30:10,900 --> 00:30:12,400
WITH A PATIENT HAVING A

1113
00:30:12,466 --> 00:30:13,333
LIFE-THREATENING SITUATION" --

1114
00:30:13,400 --> 00:30:15,366
HE WAS SUSPENDED FOR 28 DAYS, A

1115
00:30:15,466 --> 00:30:17,466
NUMBER CONVENIENTLY JUST SHY OF

1116
00:30:17,533 --> 00:30:18,700
WHAT WOULD'VE BEEN REQUIRED FOR

1117
00:30:18,766 --> 00:30:20,166
HIM TO BE REPORTED TO THE

1118
00:30:20,233 --> 00:30:21,700
DATABASE.

1119
00:30:21,766 --> 00:30:22,666
AND I'D SAY THAT WAS THE MOST

1120
00:30:22,733 --> 00:30:25,133
SHAMELESS COVERUP IN A HOSPITAL

1121
00:30:25,200 --> 00:30:26,500
I'VE EVER SEEN, BUT I HAVE SEEN

1122
00:30:26,566 --> 00:30:28,666
THIS EPISODE OF "MELROSE PLACE"

1123
00:30:28,733 --> 00:30:30,333
WHERE DR. KIMBERLY SHAW TRIES TO

1124
00:30:30,400 --> 00:30:31,733
THROW PEOPLE OFF THE SCENT OF

1125
00:30:31,800 --> 00:30:32,166
HER INVOLVEMENT IN A

1126
00:30:32,233 --> 00:30:33,333
HIT-AND-RUN.

1127
00:30:33,400 --> 00:30:34,966
>> THINK ABOUT IT.

1128
00:30:35,033 --> 00:30:36,233
THE DRIVER OF THAT CAR WAS

1129
00:30:36,300 --> 00:30:38,266
WEARING A SHORT BLOND WIG.

1130
00:30:38,333 --> 00:30:39,800
NOW, HOW COULD I GET ALL THIS

1131
00:30:39,866 --> 00:30:41,533
HAIR BENEATH SOMETHING LIKE

1132
00:30:41,600 --> 00:30:43,133
THAT?

1133
00:30:43,200 --> 00:30:43,633
>> DOES THIS ANSWER YOUR

1134
00:30:43,700 --> 00:30:46,100
QUESTION?

1135
00:30:46,166 --> 00:30:53,166
>> YOU'RE A DEAD MAN, FIELDING.

1136
00:30:55,200 --> 00:30:55,833
>> John: THAT IS TELEVISION

1137
00:30:55,900 --> 00:30:56,133
RIGHT THERE.

1138
00:30:56,200 --> 00:30:56,700
STEP ASIDE, "911 LONE STAR,"

1139
00:30:56,766 --> 00:30:57,333
MELROSE PLACE WALKED SO THAT YOU

1140
00:30:57,400 --> 00:30:57,600
COULD RUN.

1141
00:30:57,666 --> 00:30:59,233
BUT EVEN IF A DOCTOR IS REPORTED

1142
00:30:59,300 --> 00:31:01,233
TO THE DATABASE, THAT REPORT

1143
00:31:01,300 --> 00:31:02,333
STILL MIGHT NOT BE SEEN.

1144
00:31:02,400 --> 00:31:03,700
BECAUSE INCREDIBLY, SOME STATE

1145
00:31:03,766 --> 00:31:05,600
MEDICAL BOARDS SIMPLY DON'T

1146
00:31:05,666 --> 00:31:06,233
CHECK IT WHEN GRANTING LICENSES

1147
00:31:06,300 --> 00:31:08,700
TO DOCTORS WHO'VE MOVED FROM OUT

1148
00:31:08,766 --> 00:31:09,800
OF STATE.

1149
00:31:09,866 --> 00:31:10,566
IN 2017, THIRTEEN STATE BOARDS

1150
00:31:10,633 --> 00:31:13,700
DIDN'T CHECK IT ONCE.

1151
00:31:13,766 --> 00:31:14,400
AND SOME STATES, INCLUDING --

1152
00:31:14,466 --> 00:31:15,000
UNTIL RECENTLY -- TEXAS, EVEN

1153
00:31:15,066 --> 00:31:17,300
EMPLOY AN HONOR-SYSTEM APPROACH,

1154
00:31:17,366 --> 00:31:19,566
WHICH RELIES ON PHYSICIANS TO

1155
00:31:19,633 --> 00:31:19,866
SELF-REPORT.

1156
00:31:19,933 --> 00:31:20,500
BUT GUESS WHAT?

1157
00:31:20,600 --> 00:31:21,700
THE BAD DOCTORS TEND NOT TO DO

1158
00:31:21,800 --> 00:31:23,033
THAT, BECAUSE THEY'RE BAD

1159
00:31:23,100 --> 00:31:26,533
DOCTORS.

1160
00:31:26,600 --> 00:31:27,166
SO UNSURPRISINGLY, WHEN A TEXAS

1161
00:31:27,233 --> 00:31:28,633
NEWS STATION BOTHERED TO LOOK

1162
00:31:28,700 --> 00:31:30,066
INTO WHO WAS PRACTICING IN THEIR

1163
00:31:30,133 --> 00:31:32,566
STATE, THEY FOUND 49 DOCTORS

1164
00:31:32,633 --> 00:31:33,200
WHO'D HAD THEIR MEDICAL LICENSES

1165
00:31:33,266 --> 00:31:35,566
SUSPENDED, SURRENDERED OR

1166
00:31:35,633 --> 00:31:36,066
REVOKED IN OTHER STATES.

1167
00:31:36,133 --> 00:31:37,166
AND SOME OF THE STORIES WERE

1168
00:31:37,233 --> 00:31:40,000
SHOCKING.

1169
00:31:40,066 --> 00:31:41,500
>> AMONG THE DOCTORS CURRENTLY

1170
00:31:41,566 --> 00:31:42,133
PRACTICING IN TEXAS, A COLORADO

1171
00:31:42,200 --> 00:31:43,500
NEUROSURGEON DISCIPLINED FOR

1172
00:31:43,566 --> 00:31:44,766
PERFORMING SURGERY ON THE WRONG

1173
00:31:44,833 --> 00:31:46,266
SPINAL DISC.

1174
00:31:46,333 --> 00:31:48,100
A WISCONSIN ORTHOPEDIC SURGEON

1175
00:31:48,166 --> 00:31:49,033
WHOSE LICENSE WAS SUSPENDED

1176
00:31:49,100 --> 00:31:51,400
INDEFINITELY FOR OPERATING ON A

1177
00:31:51,466 --> 00:31:53,666
PATIENT WHILE INTOXICATED.

1178
00:31:53,733 --> 00:31:55,466
AND A FLORIDA DOCTOR REPRIMANDED

1179
00:31:55,533 --> 00:31:56,666
FOR PRESCRIBING, QUOTE,

1180
00:31:56,733 --> 00:32:03,466
"EXCESSIVE QUANTITIES OF

1181
00:32:03,533 --> 00:32:04,100
OXYCODONE LEADING TO A PATIENT'S

1182
00:32:04,166 --> 00:32:04,333
DEATH."

1183
00:32:04,400 --> 00:32:04,900
ALL OF THEM STILL SHOWING A

1184
00:32:04,966 --> 00:32:05,366
CLEAN RECORD IN TEXAS.

1185
00:32:05,433 --> 00:32:05,700
>> John: YEAH.

1186
00:32:05,766 --> 00:32:06,966
A SURGEON WHO OPERATED ON THE

1187
00:32:07,033 --> 00:32:08,600
WRONG PART OF SOMEONE'S SPINE

1188
00:32:08,666 --> 00:32:09,266
STILL HAD A CLEAN BILL OF HEALTH

1189
00:32:09,333 --> 00:32:10,400
IN TEXAS.

1190
00:32:10,466 --> 00:32:11,666
AND YOU KNOW WHO PROBABLY

1191
00:32:11,733 --> 00:32:12,100
DOESN'T?

1192
00:32:12,166 --> 00:32:13,533
HIS FUCKING PATIENT.

1193
00:32:13,600 --> 00:32:14,666
BUT IT'S NOT JUST TEXAS, AT

1194
00:32:14,733 --> 00:32:16,033
LEAST 500 PHYSICIANS WHO HAVE

1195
00:32:16,100 --> 00:32:19,033
BEEN PUBLICLY DISCIPLINED,

1196
00:32:19,100 --> 00:32:19,566
CHASTISED, OR BARRED FROM

1197
00:32:19,633 --> 00:32:21,000
PRACTICING BY ONE STATE MEDICAL

1198
00:32:21,066 --> 00:32:22,966
BOARD HAVE BEEN ALLOWED TO

1199
00:32:23,033 --> 00:32:23,600
PRACTICE ELSEWHERE WITH A CLEAN

1200
00:32:23,666 --> 00:32:26,466
LICENSE.

1201
00:32:26,533 --> 00:32:27,500
AND SOME HAVE ALMOST MADE AN ART

1202
00:32:27,600 --> 00:32:28,933
OF IT, LIKE THIS COSMETIC

1203
00:32:29,033 --> 00:32:31,400
SURGEON, WHO WAS DISCIPLINED IN

1204
00:32:31,466 --> 00:32:32,033
2015 AFTER A PATIENT'S DEATH IN

1205
00:32:32,100 --> 00:32:32,900
OREGON.

1206
00:32:32,966 --> 00:32:34,066
HE THEN BEGAN PRACTICING IN

1207
00:32:34,133 --> 00:32:35,000
ILLINOIS, WHERE HE WAS

1208
00:32:35,066 --> 00:32:36,300
INVESTIGATED AFTER ANOTHER

1209
00:32:36,366 --> 00:32:38,866
PATIENT DIED IN 2016.

1210
00:32:38,933 --> 00:32:39,966
FIVE YEARS AFTER THAT, ILLINOIS'

1211
00:32:40,033 --> 00:32:43,000
MEDICAL BOARD DECLARED HIM AN

1212
00:32:43,066 --> 00:32:43,600
IMMEDIATE DANGER TO THE HEALTH

1213
00:32:43,666 --> 00:32:44,966
AND SAFETY OF THE PUBLIC AND

1214
00:32:45,033 --> 00:32:45,566
SUSPENDED HIM FOR AT LEAST 18

1215
00:32:45,633 --> 00:32:48,833
MONTHS.

1216
00:32:48,900 --> 00:32:49,400
BUT YOU'LL NEVER GUESS WHAT

1217
00:32:49,466 --> 00:32:50,200
HAPPENED NEXT.

1218
00:32:50,266 --> 00:32:52,266
>> DESPITE BEING FOUND TO BE

1219
00:32:52,333 --> 00:32:55,333
GROSSLY NEGLIGENT IN MULTIPLE

1220
00:32:55,400 --> 00:32:55,933
CASES ACROSS TWO STATES,

1221
00:32:56,000 --> 00:32:56,566
DR. SHARMA STILL HELD AN ACTIVE

1222
00:32:56,633 --> 00:32:58,900
MEDICAL LICENSE IN ONE STATE:

1223
00:32:58,966 --> 00:33:03,366
INDIANA.

1224
00:33:03,433 --> 00:33:04,200
>> WE'RE WORKING LATE TODAY,

1225
00:33:04,266 --> 00:33:04,433
OKAY --

1226
00:33:04,500 --> 00:33:05,266
>> AND AS WE DISCOVERED --

1227
00:33:05,333 --> 00:33:05,833
>> WE'RE PARTWAY THROUGH THE

1228
00:33:05,900 --> 00:33:06,566
TRANSFORMATION.

1229
00:33:06,633 --> 00:33:07,933
>> HE'S ACTIVELY PRACTICING

1230
00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:09,666
THERE TODAY.

1231
00:33:09,733 --> 00:33:11,033
>> John: YEAH, HE WASN'T JUST

1232
00:33:11,100 --> 00:33:11,633
STILL PRACTICING, HE WAS

1233
00:33:11,700 --> 00:33:14,233
BROADCASTING IT ONLINE, TOO.

1234
00:33:14,300 --> 00:33:15,233
AND GENERAL TIP, IF ANY PART OF

1235
00:33:15,300 --> 00:33:16,633
YOUR "GET READY WITH ME" ROUTINE

1236
00:33:16,700 --> 00:33:19,233
INVOLVES SCRUBBING UP, JUST STOP

1237
00:33:19,300 --> 00:33:21,933
RECORDING RIGHT NOW.

1238
00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:23,633
BECAUSE THERE ARE A FEW THINGS I

1239
00:33:23,700 --> 00:33:24,266
JUST NEVER WANT TO SEE MY DOCTOR

1240
00:33:24,333 --> 00:33:26,033
DO: CRY, GET DRUNK, OR SAY "HEY

1241
00:33:26,100 --> 00:33:27,666
GUYS, WELCOME TO MY CHANNEL,

1242
00:33:27,733 --> 00:33:28,766
WE'RE WORKIN' LATE TONIGHT" OVER

1243
00:33:28,833 --> 00:33:32,433
MY UNCONSCIOUS NUDE BODY.

1244
00:33:32,500 --> 00:33:33,366
BUT THE LARGER FACT IS, IF

1245
00:33:33,466 --> 00:33:37,266
YOU'RE A DOCTOR WITH A TRAIL OF

1246
00:33:37,333 --> 00:33:38,233
IRREPARABLE HARM BEHIND YOU, IT

1247
00:33:38,300 --> 00:33:38,833
SEEMS YOU CAN JUST HOP AROUND

1248
00:33:38,900 --> 00:33:39,433
UNTIL YOU FIND A STATE THAT'LL

1249
00:33:39,500 --> 00:33:41,266
LOOK THE OTHER WAY.

1250
00:33:41,333 --> 00:33:41,833
IT'S JUST ONE OF WAYS THAT

1251
00:33:41,900 --> 00:33:48,900
DOCTORS ARE LIKE CATHOLIC

1252
00:33:49,200 --> 00:33:49,700
PRIESTS, ALONG WITH THE FUN

1253
00:33:49,766 --> 00:33:50,400
OUTFITS THAT ARE JUST FANCY

1254
00:33:50,466 --> 00:33:50,966
PAJAMAS AND THINKING THEY'RE

1255
00:33:51,033 --> 00:33:52,766
BASICALLY GOD.

1256
00:33:52,833 --> 00:33:53,400
AND INCIDENTALLY, IF YOU WANT TO

1257
00:33:53,466 --> 00:33:53,900
CHECK YOURSELF WHETHER A

1258
00:33:53,966 --> 00:33:54,433
DOCTOR'S BEEN DISCIPLINED

1259
00:33:54,500 --> 00:33:55,000
OUT-OF-STATE, THAT MIGHT BE

1260
00:33:55,066 --> 00:33:55,366
DIFFICULT.

1261
00:33:55,433 --> 00:33:56,833
BECAUSE A SURVEY A FEW YEARS AGO

1262
00:33:56,900 --> 00:33:58,266
FOUND THAT THE MEDICAL BOARD

1263
00:33:58,333 --> 00:33:59,633
WEBSITES IN ALL THESE PLACES

1264
00:33:59,700 --> 00:34:01,466
DON'T INCLUDE ACTIONS TAKEN IN

1265
00:34:01,533 --> 00:34:03,300
OTHER STATES.

1266
00:34:03,366 --> 00:34:04,900
HONESTLY, BASED ON WHAT WE'VE

1267
00:34:04,966 --> 00:34:05,533
SEEN SO FAR, THE BEST THING YOU

1268
00:34:05,600 --> 00:34:06,933
CAN DO AS A PATIENT TO

1269
00:34:07,033 --> 00:34:08,900
SUCCESSFULLY VET YOUR DOCTOR

1270
00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:10,100
MIGHT BE TO CHECK TIKTOK TO SEE

1271
00:34:10,166 --> 00:34:12,132
IF THEY'RE POSTING VIDEOS OF

1272
00:34:12,199 --> 00:34:13,065
THEIR SURGERIES ONLINE, BECAUSE

1273
00:34:13,132 --> 00:34:14,833
THAT SEEMS TO BE THE ONLY

1274
00:34:14,900 --> 00:34:16,933
SUREFIRE SIGN OF DISASTER.

1275
00:34:17,000 --> 00:34:18,699
SO, WHAT CAN WE DO?

1276
00:34:18,766 --> 00:34:19,966
WELL, FIRST, WE NEED TO

1277
00:34:20,033 --> 00:34:21,233
ACKNOWLEDGE THAT DOCTORS HAVE

1278
00:34:21,300 --> 00:34:22,600
POWERFUL LOBBYING GROUPS THAT

1279
00:34:22,666 --> 00:34:29,333
HAVE FOUGHT MEDICAL BOARD

1280
00:34:29,400 --> 00:34:33,100
REFORM HARD, SO CHANGE IS GOING

1281
00:34:33,166 --> 00:34:35,733
TO BE DIFFICULT.

1282
00:34:35,800 --> 00:34:36,166
HOW DIFFICULT?

1283
00:34:36,233 --> 00:34:37,033
WELL, IN RESEARCHING THIS STORY,

1284
00:34:37,100 --> 00:34:37,632
WE FOUND THIS CBS REPORT FROM

1285
00:34:37,699 --> 00:34:38,199
NEARLY FORTY YEARS AGO THAT

1286
00:34:38,266 --> 00:34:38,733
COULD'VE AIRED LAST WEEK.

1287
00:34:38,800 --> 00:34:39,333
IT FEATURED A BAD DOCTOR WHO'D

1288
00:34:39,400 --> 00:34:39,900
MOVED FROM STATE TO STATE TO

1289
00:34:39,966 --> 00:34:40,533
STATE TO AVOID CONSEQUENCES, AND

1290
00:34:40,632 --> 00:34:41,132
THIS EXPLANATION OF THE LARGER

1291
00:34:41,233 --> 00:34:43,766
PROBLEM.

1292
00:34:43,833 --> 00:34:44,333
>> THE MASSACHUSETTS BOARD,

1293
00:34:44,400 --> 00:34:46,632
INDEED, MOST STATE BOARDS,

1294
00:34:46,699 --> 00:34:47,766
SUFFER FROM UNDERFINANCING,

1295
00:34:47,833 --> 00:34:48,166
UNDERSTAFFING, AND

1296
00:34:48,233 --> 00:34:49,300
UNDER-ORGANIZATION.

1297
00:34:49,366 --> 00:34:50,132
THE BOARD HERE EMPLOYS ONLY TWO

1298
00:34:50,199 --> 00:34:56,900
INVESTIGATORS.

1299
00:34:56,966 --> 00:34:57,433
STAFFED MOSTLY BY DOCTORS,

1300
00:34:57,500 --> 00:35:01,466
CONSUMERS, LAWMAKERS AND EVEN

1301
00:35:01,533 --> 00:35:02,033
SOME DOCTORS ARE NOW ASKING

1302
00:35:02,100 --> 00:35:02,966
WHETHER THE MEDICAL COMMUNITY

1303
00:35:03,033 --> 00:35:03,766
CAN POLICE ITS OWN AND STILL

1304
00:35:03,833 --> 00:35:06,800
PROVIDE QUALITY CARE.

1305
00:35:06,866 --> 00:35:08,133
>> MOST DOCTORS IN THIS COUNTRY

1306
00:35:08,200 --> 00:35:09,200
ARE PRACTICING GOOD MEDICINE.

1307
00:35:09,266 --> 00:35:09,833
MOST OF THE 400,000 DOCTORS, BUT

1308
00:35:09,900 --> 00:35:11,466
PERHAPS 10, 20, 30, 40,000

1309
00:35:11,533 --> 00:35:12,966
DOCTORS ARE NOT PRACTICING GOOD

1310
00:35:13,033 --> 00:35:13,233
MEDICINE.

1311
00:35:13,300 --> 00:35:14,266
MOST OF THEM ARE NEVER

1312
00:35:14,366 --> 00:35:15,966
DISCIPLINED.

1313
00:35:16,066 --> 00:35:20,200
IT'S TOO DANGEROUS A SITUATION

1314
00:35:20,266 --> 00:35:22,500
TO KEEP TOLERATING.

1315
00:35:22,566 --> 00:35:23,133
>> John: YEAH, IT IS TOO

1316
00:35:23,200 --> 00:35:23,733
DANGEROUS A SITUATION TO KEEP

1317
00:35:23,800 --> 00:35:24,566
TOLERATING, BUT IT SEEMS LIKE

1318
00:35:24,633 --> 00:35:24,900
WE'VE DONE IT.

1319
00:35:24,966 --> 00:35:25,866
BECAUSE THAT'S FROM FOUR DECADES

1320
00:35:25,933 --> 00:35:26,366
AGO.

1321
00:35:26,433 --> 00:35:27,266
IT'S THIS WHOLE STORY, WITH

1322
00:35:27,333 --> 00:35:29,100
WARNING SIGNS ABOUT FUNDING AND

1323
00:35:29,166 --> 00:35:33,533
CALLS FOR REFORM, AND IT'S BEEN

1324
00:35:33,600 --> 00:35:34,166
TOLD BY, LET'S BE HONEST, A MUCH

1325
00:35:34,233 --> 00:35:41,233
HOTTER ME.

1326
00:35:48,100 --> 00:35:48,866
BUT REGARDLESS -- YOU LAUGHED

1327
00:35:48,933 --> 00:35:52,433
TOO HARD AT THAT.

1328
00:35:52,500 --> 00:35:53,033
BUT REGARDLESS, THERE ARE SOME

1329
00:35:53,100 --> 00:35:53,600
OBVIOUS STEPS WE COULD TAKE.

1330
00:35:53,666 --> 00:35:54,233
LAWMAKERS COULD ADD MORE PUBLIC

1331
00:35:54,300 --> 00:35:54,866
MEMBERS TO STATE MEDICAL BOARDS,

1332
00:35:54,933 --> 00:35:55,866
AND INCREASE THEIR FUNDING.

1333
00:35:55,933 --> 00:35:56,600
THEY COULD ALSO REQUIRE THAT ALL

1334
00:35:56,666 --> 00:35:57,533
DISCIPLINARY ACTIONS TAKEN

1335
00:35:57,600 --> 00:35:58,133
AGAINST A DOCTOR IN WHATEVER

1336
00:35:58,200 --> 00:35:58,733
STATE THEY'VE WORKED IN, PLUS

1337
00:35:58,800 --> 00:35:59,200
INFO LIKE MALPRACTICE

1338
00:35:59,266 --> 00:35:59,833
SETTLEMENTS, BE EASY TO FIND ON

1339
00:35:59,900 --> 00:36:00,733
A PUBLIC WEBSITE.

1340
00:36:00,800 --> 00:36:01,233
AND WHILE WE'RE TALKING

1341
00:36:01,300 --> 00:36:01,900
TRANSPARENCY, THE NPDB WAS

1342
00:36:01,966 --> 00:36:02,700
CREATED EXACTLY FOR THAT REASON,

1343
00:36:02,766 --> 00:36:03,400
SO STATE BOARDS SHOULD BE

1344
00:36:03,466 --> 00:36:05,300
REQUIRED TO REGULARLY USE IT.

1345
00:36:05,366 --> 00:36:06,866
LOOK, THE VAST MAJORITY OF

1346
00:36:06,933 --> 00:36:09,433
DOCTORS HELP PEOPLE AND ARE

1347
00:36:09,500 --> 00:36:11,266
WORTHY OF THE VALUE THAT SOCIETY

1348
00:36:11,333 --> 00:36:11,733
PLACES IN THEM.

1349
00:36:11,800 --> 00:36:13,166
BUT THIS IS A FIELD THAT RELIES,

1350
00:36:13,233 --> 00:36:14,566
PRETTY UNIQUELY, ON ABSOLUTE

1351
00:36:14,633 --> 00:36:15,833
TRUST.

1352
00:36:15,900 --> 00:36:18,666
AND AGAIN, I'M NOT SAYING ALL OR

1353
00:36:18,733 --> 00:36:19,266
EVEN MOST DOCTORS ARE BAD, NOR

1354
00:36:19,333 --> 00:36:20,766
AM I TELLING DOCTORS HOW TO DO

1355
00:36:20,866 --> 00:36:23,000
THEIR JOBS.

1356
00:36:23,066 --> 00:36:24,133
I'M ONLY 46, SO I'M VERY YOUNG

1357
00:36:24,200 --> 00:36:27,066
AND INEXPERIENCED.

1358
00:36:27,133 --> 00:36:28,333
BUT WHAT I AM SAYING IS IT WOULD

1359
00:36:28,400 --> 00:36:31,700
SERVE EVERYONE -- INCLUDING

1360
00:36:31,766 --> 00:36:32,800
THOSE MANY GOOD DOCTORS -- TO

1361
00:36:32,866 --> 00:36:33,800
FIX THIS MESS, BECAUSE THE WAY

1362
00:36:33,866 --> 00:36:34,833
WE'VE BEEN RUNNING MEDICAL

1363
00:36:34,900 --> 00:36:39,666
BOARDS IS A BIT LIKE GIVING CPR

1364
00:36:39,733 --> 00:36:40,133
TO A FROZEN SOLID MAN.

1365
00:36:40,200 --> 00:36:40,766
IT'S ABSOLUTELY BAFFLING, AND I

1366
00:36:40,833 --> 00:36:42,000
CAN'T BELIEVE SOMEONE EVER

1367
00:36:42,066 --> 00:36:43,966

>> THEY ARE HUGE.

1375
00:36:59,366 --> 00:37:01,300
>> MAY BE BECAUSE OUR HEADS ARE

1376
00:37:01,366 --> 00:37:01,900
