ER Doc Who Operated on Seth Rich Says He Was OK Until...
YouTube ^ | May 20, 2017 | Bill Still

Posted on 05/21/2017 6:55:49 AM PDT by Arthur McGowan

Synopsis: This is an anonymous source alert – and at least that’s more than either the Wash Post or the NYT has given you. A person on something called Boardnet – and within Boardnet, on something called - /pol/ - posted the following last Wednesday, May 17. “[I am a] 4th-year surgery resident here who rotated from WHC (Washington Hospital Center) last year, it won’t be hard to identify me but I feel that I shouldn’t stay silent.” ”Seth Rich was shot twice, with three total gunshot wounds (Entry and exit, and entry). He was taken to the OR emergency where we performed and exlap and found a small injury to segment three of the liver which was packed and several small bowel injuries (pretty common for gunshots in the back exiting the abdomen), which we resected—12 cm of bowel and left him in discontinuity (didn’t hook everything back up) with the intent of performing a washout in the morning. He did not have any major vascular injuries or otherwise. I’ve seen dozens of worse cases than this which survived and nothing about his injuries suggested to me that he’d sustained a fatal wound.”

This announcement is to muddy the reality of what happened. Common practice of the Clinton Machine. When they get caught doing something wrong many sources start telling wild tales that are immediately shown to be false. As such the public begins to believe everything about a bad deed is false.

All personal identification and medical information is kept strictly confidential under threat of prosecution and fines.

However, under those circumstances, I totally believe a resident would violate HIPPA. That law was largely put in place to protect homosexuals with AIDS and it has imposed billions of extra dollars on top of the health care industry. It also impedes patient care, as it is often over-interpreted by the hospital legal staff who take it to mean no information can be shared with any other facility. Just ask the VA how that's working for them. Not that they care.

You knew about a murder and said nothing?

Some dead people are "more equal" than other (dead) people?

Hmm. Thanks. The post seems innocuous enough, describing treatment in a trauma room, and the seeming irregularities, of someone the poster later realized to be Rich.

HIPAA needs to be reevaluated. I work with this horse-shit every day and it impedes the flow of information to health care professionals, not to mention the legion of bureaucratic health care professionals that cite 'HIPAA' as an excuse to not do their jobs or be needlessly overzealous (as if they understand the actual law).

Didn't HIPAA's beginnings go back to homosexual groups who thought that having AIDS was not important enough to tell your nurse or doctor about when they did procedures on you?

No resident would risk their career by violating HIPPA. Especially when it would be so easy to track them down.

No resident CAMPAIGN WORKER would risk their career by violating HIPPA THE SECRECY OATH. Especially when it would be so easy to track them down.

You cannot divulge personal medical information to anyone. The Dr and hospital will find themseves in deep shit. Dead or alive. It doesn’t make any difference.

I work in a hospital and my group has access to medical records. I can cite a couple of examples of “famous” people that came into our Emergency Department. Everyone knew they were there. No one talked about it.

If someone is smart enough to be a doctor, I can’t believe he would be dumb enough to reveal this dangerous (if true) information in such a worthless way. You would think he (or she) would have the sense to have a written and videoed statement witnessed by several lawyers, before setting up this target on his back. So I have a hard time crediting this story.

That post didn’t seem to tell much more about the patient than I have hear from hospital spokesmen at press conferences in high profile cases where we knew who the person was and they described injuries an treatments.

Still, not disputing what you said.

At that time there was no test for succinylcholine and any accusation would have been met with slander. Succinylcholine is found in natural tissue and then there was no test to differentiate the two. The man made and natural also break down easily and cannot be found after a year. Today there is a way to differentiate the two. As far as the incident it was hearsay. To this day I am convinced she did it but nothing could be done then or now. I’ve heard of a few other murders done with succinylcholine but they had hard evidence of the act. The drug is hard to obtain these days but 35 years ago it was easy to get and loosely regulated.

From you link, it looks like this resident did not violate hipaa:

“The provisions where a covered entity can disclose the PHI of a deceased individual include the following:

(1) to alert law enforcement to the death of the individual, when there is a suspicion that death resulted from criminal conduct “

Yes. They can tell law enforcement; in many cases there is a duty to report. But that is to LEOs, not newspapers.

Makes sense. Although I don’t have the law in front of me to check for certain, and I’m not in the least inclined to look for it.

So there’s still the possibility that he violated the law either without knowing it or for some other reason. In other words, the existence of HIPAA isn’t sufficient evidence to discount this story.

In fact, from what I’ve heard doctors say many of them have a sort of resentment about the overreach of HIPAA and how it sort of tongue-ties them thus hindering the process of normal patient care. I heard one doctor say that he follows his conscience and will gladly explain himself before a judge.

Could be this resident thought the same thing. Imagine a HIPAA case against him, and how far the court could look into this case.

Apparently Seth Rich died from Clinton Cancer. The survival rate is zero.

IIRC he never went to hospital but to the morgue...

Didn't know. Thought if paramedics show they have to use CPR until a doc declares them dead. I haven't followed Seth Rich since this summer? Whole thing could be cut and pasted or some guys imagination as a first year medical transcriptionist for all we know. Sounds too sketchy anyway one looks at this. I'd say fake news but giving a little leeway on the creative writing.
