ER Doctor suspended after mocking patient suffering from anxiety

In the video, Dr. Beth Keegstra, of El Camino Hospital in Los Gatos, is seen doubting Samuel Bardwell’s account of what happened to him, saying, “You are the least sick of all the people who are here, who are dying. So you put your head up. Don’t try to tell me you can’t move. Come on. Sit up.”
She tries to force Bardwell to sit up by pulling at his arm, even though he clearly tells her that he is unable to.
“You want us to wheel you to your house in a gurney?,” she asks him.
quote:
Bardwell was hospitalized Monday after experiencing an anxiety attack after a basketball practice. His father, Donald, said Samuel has a history of anxiety attacks, for which he takes Klonopin. It treats seizures, panic disorder, and anxiety. Samuel had not been taking the sedative leading up the Monday anxiety attack.
quote:
Keegstra even accused Donald and his son of coming in for drugs.
“She said, ‘I know why you people are here, you people who come here for drugs,’ and I said ‘What do you mean you people?’” Donald said. “She was rambling on so angrily that’s why I pulled out my phone.”
quote:
This story is pretty much is Exhibit A about the racism black people experience in the medical world. And one has to wonder if Keegstra has done this before.
I mean, if you're not going to give the man drugs, you could have at least started the damn conversation. Such a wasted opportunity.

Not unusual. I have had doctors and nurses treat me like a damn criminal for coming to see them for several things. A back injury for one.

Extremely unprofessional. Glad I don't work with her.

I’m sure that poor er doctor was just backed up with all the cases of illegal immigrants with runny noses he had to see

Anxiety attacks are no joke.

Chronic benzos are not a good treatment for “anxiety”

The Dr is right. We are talking the ER, so people with actual physical aliments are more likely to die immediately than someone who is having a mental breakdown. How would you feel if you are in the ER and you got a bone sticking out of your leg and some people want to cut in line b/c they can't move from anxiety? Wouldn't yall put the priority for the one with the physical condition?

A. He wasn't sick.
B. Why was he out of his Klonopin?
C. She was correct. She just handled it poorly.
D. He was talking waaaaay too calm for an anxiety
attack.
E. She was a lot nicer than I'd have been.
ETA...Ohhhh!!!! Just got to the F bomb!

And folks wonder why the waiting times are hours upon hours

The son also claims to be in cataplexic state from anxiety yet can calmly explain to the doctor what his condition is. He’s not even faking going through withdrawals very well.

The people that come on on a Sunday night at 11:30 because their knee has been hurting for 3 weeks are the worst. Get you arse to work.

This isn’t a racism thing. A lot of doctors are just shitheads, especially ones in the ER
