New information has been released about the doctor who was forcibly removed from the United Airlines flight 3411.
According to information retrieved from TMZ, Dr. David Dao had his license suspended in February of 2005 after he was found to have been illegally prescribing and trafficking drugs in exchange for sexual favors.
Several medical board documents indicate that Dao denied paying for sex, but did accepted sexual favors from an associate in exchange for reducing a debt the associate owed him.
Dr. was charged with 98 felony drug counts for illegally prescribing and trafficking hydocodone, Oxycontin and Percocet but was only convicted on 6 counts.

Completely irrelevant.
Again? This story was posted some 3-4 times yesterday. With hundreds of replies.
Oh well. Today is a new day. And so we must repost again and make the same arguments for or against the doctor and/or United Airlines.
Oh yeah. Plenty of knee jerking must continue also. In fine FReeper tradition.
Like this: United should be sued for kicking that poor doctor’s ass. He did NOTHING to deserve this.
/uninformed knee jerking off.
Witnessed a very rude event by a United flight attendant two years ago on a flight from DFW to Columbia, SC.
The pilot had announced the UA flight was overbooked, that they were working on the problem and would be getting underway in an estimated 30 minutes.
Flight was delayed severely and seated passengers were asking in a very polite reasonable manner for an ETA or flight time once underway so that they could dial ahead and inform their contacts on the other end.
The UA flight attendant responded very rudely with a stern tone that it was not her responsibility to ask such things.
I stared for a moment in disbelief because the flight attendant was standing next to the people asking and looking at the back of the cabin when she responded. It was so disrespectful and it was the first time I had seen such an exchange in an airline cabin.
Because the exchange was so unordinary and aggressive, I listened intently at what the passengers said next to capture any info that might explain the nature of the flight attendant’s response. I caught a glimpse of one of the passengers to see if there any manner of dress or body language that would cause such a disrespectful response. Both passengers involved were well-dressed, clean, polite.
The questions had been presented by two passengers sitting in different rows on different sides of the cabin:
“Excuse me, can I please get an ETA to Columbia or a flight duration time after takeoff?”
The other passenger followed:
“I also need to know a flight time so I can tell my relative who is waiting on the other end, thank you.”
The passengers involved reacted also in disbelief and remarked to the flight attendant that it was a question asked politely and that it was confusing why the response was so aggressive. In other words, the passengers were just as shocked as the rest of the seated passengers that could see or hear the aggressive and disrespectful response.
Some passengers were muttering comments that reflected what I was thinking, that they had never heard such a tone and that they would think twice before taking another United flight again.
So I am biased about this incident.
I don’t see that the Vietnamese doctor had initiated violence. I also see this past history as a smear and in any event a nonviolent series of charges the vast majority of which were dropped and were not specified telling me they were likely frivolous.
I think this doctor has a strong case against United and should proceed to take their management to the cleaners,
Well said.
Thank you. I agree 100%.
It’s like Brian Ross of ABC matching the name of the Colorado shooter with a Tea Party member and running with it. Even D.B. Cooper was a name the press got wrong. The skyjacker’s name on the boarding list was “Dan Cooper”.

Let’s hear em! I bet I’ll agree.....:)
It’s a felony to threaten criminal action/consequences in a civil dispute. It’s also unlawful to commit battery on someone.
It doesn't matter if he was or wasn't a convicted felon. He has paid his debt to society. This is the old "Blame the victim" ploy.
In reality United Airlines, treatment of one of their customers and paying passengers who had already boarded the plane and taken his seat was treated criminally. They beat him unconscious and illegally removed him from the airplane. If they had wanted to remove passengers they have to do so before they board the plane and have taken their seats.
United Airlines is about to deservedly get the pants sued off of them. UAL lost nearly A BILLION DOLLARS in value today alone.
Smear campaign.
YES!
In other words right or wrong matters not if it doesn’t make you happy!Now I know why rioters riot.
Jump on board. The way United is responding makes me think now they are wrong. You still have not seen what happened!If they are right they should not have to beg you to leave. Let someone come into you home and overstay.
I got screwed years back by United and I got first class seats out the following day and 4 free tickets for anytime I wanted. They must have scaled that stuff back a lot. Of course, I called HQ and pitched a stink over it...
No soft drinks on the plane ... only punch
One free Carry off.
“So he really isn’t a doctor and he wasn’t treating patients. He got the crap kicked out of him because he was acting like an asshole. The airlines should also kick the crap out of the people who don’t check their bags until they are ready to board, holding everyone up. Lady there is no way those suitcases qualify a carry on.....here is a fist in the face for making it difficult for everyone else.
You don’t like the rules, take a bus or drive.”
Wow, you are such a tough guy. I bet everybody is scared of you.
The airline business is a customer service business. The passenger was boarded. His luggage was on board. The UAL manager came aboard and demanded four volunteers to deboard. When no one volunteered he ordered four passengers to be taken off the plane randomly. The 69 year old man was the third passenger ORDERED OFF the plane. He refused. The Manager called law enforcement and had the man violently removed.
You are telling me that UAL has no clue how many crew members they have to move around the country BEFORE they board the passengers? I call piss poor management on UAL’s side. I hope they have to pay dearly for this atrocity. How dare a US company treat its customers this way!
Note: I have no problem with the airlines informing passengers before they board that they have to take a later flight (which in this case was 22 hours later). If the passenger manages to negotiate a “deal” more power to that passenger.
Still irrelevant to having him removed. He was not in commission of a crime while being in his seat. The crimes he’d committed were all in the past with no ongoing issue or penalties.
