Man sues doctors for mocking him while he was unconscious By John Johnson Published April 24, 2014 Newser Facebook60 Twitter62 Gplus0 So what do doctors chat about after youve gone under anesthesia? You may not want to know, according to a lawsuit picked up by Courthouse News Service. A colonoscopy patient in Virginia says he used his cellphone to record instructions given to him prior to his April 18, 2013, procedure, and accidentally left it on and recording. ADVERTISEMENT DB says doctors mocked him relentlessly. A sampling: Dr. Tiffany Ingham is heard saying to the unconscious patient: And really, after five minutes of talking to you in pre-op I wanted to punch you in the face and man you up a little bit. Ingham also allegedly called him a big wimp and a retard, joked about firing a gun up his rectum, made fun of his alma mater (Mary Washington College), and threatened to falsely note on his chart that he had hemorrhoids. The medical team joked about a rash on the patients penis, speculating it might be syphilis. Then Ingham allegedly said, Its probably tuberculosis in the penis, so youll be all right. Doctors also strategized about how to avoid him after surgery.

Saipan is the largest island of the Northern Mariana Islands. (CNMI Historic Preservation Office) The remains of a Kentucky soldier, who disappeared during World War II, have been sent home. WPSD-TV reports the remains of William T. Carneal, which were discovered in Saipan, arrived back in Paducah on Tuesday. He will be interred Friday after a ceremony. ADVERTISEMENT Carneals remains were found in 2013 along with dog tags, a high school ring and American coins. Sandy Hart of the Kentucky Veteran and Patriot Museum in Wickliffe said Carneal enlisted in October 1941. He was reported missing in action in 1944 and declared dead a year later. His great-niece, Suzanne Roberts, says the family is grateful that the remains were found and returned. The day the letter came in the mail he was missing. That was the worst day of our lives, Roberts said. His family wondered for decades what happened to him. Seventy years not knowing where somebody is...Its been a blessing for him to be found, she said. Carneal, who officials think was killed in a grenade blast during a suicide attack, was decorated with seven medals and a bronze star. He lost his life, the ultimate sacrifice and price that anybody can do, he lost his life for this country, said his nephew, J.T. Carneal, adding that the family will finally have some closure. Its a joyous day of our lives. The sorrow is that his brothers and sisters are not here today, he said.
