I've known some doctors with lousy bedside manners, but this guy takes the cake:
A judge has ordered the state Board of Medicine to stop disciplinary proceedings against a doctor accused of telling a patient she was so obese she might only be attractive to black men and advising another to shoot herself following brain surgery.
I don't disagree with the judge that this was a silly prosecution and that doctors and patients need to have "blunt talks" with one another. That doesn't mean the doctor isn't a jerk.
