Yes, our colleges and universities (especially Ivy League and West Coast schools) are sticklers for maintaining high standards when it comes to brown people.

Nope. It explicitly said the opposite. You willfully misapplied a quote that indicated if they weren't interested in stem they could get in.

Looks like this guy made a bad mistake and the malpractice action is warranted.

But… he trained in the US at some good places.

The fact that he went to medical school in India the least relevant part of all of this.

You could walk up to a random person in WalMart and show them the artificial valve and tell them what it was and ask them which way in this suppose to go in. More than would get it right with no training at all. That's about the easiest part of putting in an artificial valve.


Just curious, how many have you put in?

A surgeon can absolutely make a mistake, but when the alleged mistake is something this consequential, I start wondering whether the story is ultimately going to be about one person's error, a breakdown in the safeguards, or some combination of both.


It is always both

Perhaps, but MDs are ALWAYS 1st assessed as responsible ... as they should be.

Was the whole operating room inconpetent? Geez

Boom!! There’s a whole team and sometimes a valve rep and they all repeat multiple times that valve orientation is correct. That’s when we do catheter valve replacement. Not sure what the specifics were in this case, but it’s still something that should never happen. And it should be blatantly obvious to any competent surgeon, given what would likely present hemodynamically with a backwards valve, that something was very wrong.

Ask it a different way. "How many have you looked at on chest x-ray?"

Eh Residency in. Brooklyn, and at Yale and Stanford.



I think this says more about those residency programs than it does this dude.

The days of the Ivies being these bastions of academic excellence are long dead. They're nothing but credential mills for the well connected now.

I wonder if there was another surgeon assisting?
Or if anyone else assisting noticed and commented.....

None, but I am not the one claiming that the average Walmart shopper would know which end is up.

Fair enough. Let's change it to more than 50% in the plumbing department at Lowe's. They have one way valves there, I think.

Now granted, the newer percutaneous valves are compressed so they can go in minimally invasively could be a bit trickier. I don't know the surgeon loads that thing or the OR Nurse or Scrub Tech loads it. NC_Tiger might know. I was long gone by the time those came out.
