NOW can we all agree that this guy is an asshole?
Turns out there’s more to the rude doctor story I mentioned here. John Cole has the update:
The state is investigating a doctor accused of telling a patient she was so obese she might only be attractive to black men and advising another to shoot herself following brain surgery.
“Let’s face it, if your husband were to die tomorrow, who would want you?� the state Board of Medicine says Dr. Terry Bennett told the overweight patient in June 2004.
“Well, men might want you, but not the types you want to want you. Might even be a black guy,� it quoted him as saying, based on the woman’s complaint.
[snip]
In a telephone interview Tuesday from Rochester, Bennett denied any wrongdoing and defended his message to her, saying he has read polls that say black men prefer overweight women.
That would explain the medical board folks’ interest.
this is all based on an AP story, which means it may or may not be true.
