Doctor Denies Medical Care to Sick Child
A grandmother went to the Bustamante Children's Hospital today with her grandchild who had a broken leg. The medical staff at the hospital is well known throughout the years for their lackadaisical work ethics (except when the media is present and they are included in a photo op) in attending to primarily needy families. The grandmother saw this behavior as a doctor and nurses were laughing and gossiping while her grandchild was grimacing in pain. It is quite understandable that the upset grandmother complained about the staff's behavior to them. But what was not expected was that the doctor made an unethical decision to deny providing medical attention to the child!!?? Now, when a doctor decides to enter the profession it is hoped that he/she does so as a result of compassion for all who needs medical care regardless if the doctor feels that he/she has not been respected. Providing medical attention should ultimately come first. However, this was not the case. The doctor at Bustamante Children's Hospital felt that since her honor is paramount, her spiteful behavior should prevail over her medical responsibilities regardless of whether a child would suffer. According to a talk show host, this doctor should be working in a morgue and not at a hospital since she certainly has no compassion for the ill. This is fair statement to describe the doctor's behavior.
