“It kind of looks like you’re in an operating room right now?” A plastic surgeon appeared in a videoconference for his traffic violation trial while operating on a patient. The Medical Board of California is investigating.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. — The Medical Board of California said it would investigate a plastic surgeon who appeared in a videoconference for his traffic violation trial while operating.Dr. Scott Green appeared Thursday for his Sacramento Superior Court trial, held virtually because of the coronavirus pandemic, from an operating room. He was dressed in surgical scrubs with a patient undergoing the procedure just out of view; the beeps of medical machinery can be heard in the background.“Hello, Mr.

The clerk reminded Green the proceedings were being livestreamed because traffic trials are required by law to be open to the public, and Green said he understood. He appeared to continue working with his head down while waiting for Court Commissioner Gary Link to enter the chamber. “I have another surgeon right here who’s doing the surgery with me, so I can stand here and allow them to do the surgery also,” Green said.

I suppose this is his way of saying, “Can’t you see who I am and what I do? How dare you?”

WTF!

He’s gonna lose his job for it....

That's a HIPAA violation. I never want to hear a judge criticize my wardrobe in Zoom court. EVER!

Should’ve used the cat filter.

This seems bad

Um.

Great example of how the classic doctor joke goes... 'How do you hide a dollar from a plastic surgeon? ... YOU CAN'T' 😆😆😆

Foul

WestRegion Wow. Dr. Green just plain trifling af 'The clerk reminded Green the proceedings were being livestreamed because traffic trials are required by law to be open to the public, and Green said he understood. He appeared to continue working with his head down...'

So no patient was hurt, and a doctor just rescheduled a hearing. Doesn't sound like news; just trolling us for a reaction.

No u can’t b serious 🧐! Check tht again.

Lol if you guys only knew what goes on in the OR while you’re under

He was just hoping the judge would dismiss the charges. Man, that went the wrong way pretty quickly.

Doctors shouldn’t have to deal with traffic violations just send them the bill lol y’all just want money anyway...

It’s some new craze called multitasking- apparently everyone’s doing it now

Too many Drs think they’re above the law. I hope the patient sues him for negligence.

If this wasn’t an elective surgery I’d be on the side of the doctor. But alas, asking for too much

That is crazy! I’m sure the patient was thrilled ! Wow

Multitasking

Wait.. what?!

I think that’s worse

So hearing your Drs car door alarm sound off as he's getting into his car, after he called you for your virtual visit doesn't seem that bad now.

Absolute madlad. Winner's diaposition.

What will be the popularity of a covid19 Zero Resident Disease person? in which the number, level and efficiency of leukocytes will be equal to T-helper's cells

Hope there are no wrinkles in his defense.

I can’t believe people who build entire careers off major self-esteem problems and body dysmorphia might be insensitive to the safety of their patients.

🤣🤣 Medical boards are no better than police unions or bar associations at disciplining their own.

Maybe he was using Google glasses

I call this multitasking

He was just getting some work done ...

Simple. Take away his right to operate on patients. It's that's simple.

It was this guy

You are ready?

Losing two licenses for the win

hello sad. do you need 'spam'? I will ask questions, and I will also answer I. at the expense of alternative answers - it will only be a plus. winter was near. Was ...
