For Gunman at Bronx Hospital, Fleeting Success and Persistent Strife
NYT's ^ | 7/1/17 | LISA W. FODERARO

With a limited permit from New York State to practice medicine as an international medical graduate, Dr. Bello was essentially an extra pair of hands for the department of family medicine at the 17-story hospital, one of the biggest and busiest in New York City. Dr. Sridhar Chilimuri, the hospital’s physician in chief, said Dr. Bello could treat patients and prescribe medication, as long as other doctors were looking over his shoulder, and only at Bronx-Lebanon. “Not over there — not in a clinic,” he said for emphasis, pointing out the hospital’s doors.

But Dr. Bello’s slow journey to the medical profession, which was punctuated by bankruptcy, at least two arrests and recent sojourns in homeless shelters, came to a shattering end on Friday, when he opened fire with an assault rifle on the 16th and 17th floors of the hospital. After killing one doctor and wounding six other people, he fatally shot himself in the head.

There is a reason we in the west are the first world and most of the rest is the third world. Diversity is not our strength. The false belief that “diversity is our strength” will end up destroying our civilization.

I read on another site that the second conviction that was sealed was for ANOTHER sexual assault.

This guy was bad news.

He intended to kill the doctor who fired him in 2015, but he wasn't there.

So he shoots a bunch of random doctors and medical students and kills a totally innocent woman.

How did this hospital hire such a psycho?

I'd think that the families of the victims would have cause to sue the hospital.

They KNEW of his violent and criminal past, but gave him a pass for some reason.
