WTF, Doctor?!?!?!

A Tennessee doctor displays a great deal of stupid. I’ve bolded parts of the article to emphasise just how clueless - or horrifyingly assholish - his words and explanations for his words are.

1. What the fucking fuck?

2. I have lumbar lordosis (had slipped a disk, at one point, that compressed my sciatic and required surgery--hopefully she won't). I'm nearly assless (and were it not for the incorrect curvature, probably utterly assless), thankyouveryfuckingmuchdrsweo. And also, WHAT THE FUCKING FUCK??!?!

I can’t imagine that this doctor has a lot of social intelligence - to have said “ghetto booty” in the first place and then to have written that horrible “apology” a few days later. After he'd conceivably had time to think about what he'd said.

And for him to have told the reporter to look up “the definition of ‘ghetto booty’” suggests that he doesn’t have much intellect, either.

Either that or he’s a dick.

I'm leaning toward the latter. He knows very well what's appropriate, IMO, he just doesn't think those rules apply to him.

That is one amazingly ignorant idiotic doctor. He deserves a reprimand at the least.

Definitely not the sharpest knife in the drawer if he’s sincere.

And if he's not, I hope he loses a whole lot of clients.

You have my sympathy. I couldn't imagine having him as my doctor.
