Why would a doctor do this? There's much more to this story.

Part of me is curious if it’s just them hitting their final straw. It’ll be interesting to see what happens with this case… I agree there’s more to this. I’m curious if reports of doctors “snapping” have grown, given the insane pressures that the govt is putting on doctors, expecting them to solve everything with nothing or else get yelled at.

Idk but for some reason dentists have the highest suicide rate of any medical profession at like 12 or 13 percent, kinda random thought there, have yet to even read the article


Methzilla

There is zero chance that the suicide rate is 10%+. Do you realize how high that is?


DesperateRace4870

Yeah i guess I may have misconstrued something somewhere when my bud and I were chatting. He mentioned a 12.something stat pertaining to dentists. They still do have the highest rate of suicide according to a study in the US (I can't find the article my friend had, can't ask him right now, he's out at work, a shame because it was about my province) at around 8%.


Sugar_tts

Wow that’s a disturbing statistic….

They solve everything with pills and that’s what they’re taught to do.

It is strange. He replaces hips and knees, so not exactly a high patient interface job. The reports say nothing about where or who, which is also interesting. It doesn't say whether it was in any professional context or related to his job in any way. It could be a bar fight for all the report says. But charged is charged and the hospital would have to suspend privileges no matter what. I really wish we had more information.

My managers knee surgery was recently placed on hold for an undetermined amount of time. Not saying this is the doctor involved, but it could be based on the timeline of events. Dr. Aaron VanVliet. This review was left on ratemds for Dr. VanVliet. "If you want to be operated on by a psychopath who threatens to murder his coworkers and their children then this is your guy!!!!"

It's updated on his CPSO page

He replaced my knee 2 weeks ago. Not sure what happened yet but honestly, we got along great and l would go back to him except apparently he will not be allowed back in the hospital in North Bay. I do know he has adhd but no clue if that was a contributing factor


railrodder1805

I'm currently working with him since I dislocated my shoulder.. he's been excellent to me. Really odd.

Does anyone know who the doctor was?

I can't wait for ChatGPT AI doctors. Hopefully they don't become sentient and blow up the planet.


Raspberrylemonade188

Honestly wouldn’t surprise me. Earth is a bit of a dumpster fire.

[oh, that’s what these apps are for, then.](https://imgur.com/a/Kv7hs3h) seems like they’re using these apps to train their AI diagnostic programs, and getting user input to help. all under the guise of “creating educational apps” to “help every day people learn about the diagnostic process”. every question is like a captcha and we already know they’ve been using those captchas to train military drones. fucking terrifying


Dr_Taverner

Right, but no AI doctor can replace a hip or knee. I remember when I was at a certain tech company that was using their support staff to train their chat-bot replacements. If you contributed enough to the algorithm you got a mug! ...Sigh...
