Judge David Langham As an attorney, I enjoyed my practice evolving to a statewide concern. I had incredible opportunities to litigate against attorneys in every corner of Florida in the 1990s. I thought at the time that I had a fairly broad exposure to the workers compensation community. And, I was wrong. Despite my Jacksonville-based practice taking me to Miami, Ft. Myers, Pensacola, and all points in between, there were many lawyers on both sides of the practice that I never encountered. My y...

The most recent victim her name alexandria mow zina. getting liposuction and tummy tuck. it happened at a clinic shut down and under investigation. joining us is plastic surgery surgeon. >> thank you. ainsley: they dont have the same standards as the united states, right. >> correct. ainsley: extremely dangerous to go to another country and having surgery. >> we dont recommend medical tourism. when did you go to another country you dont know who it is performing your surgery. its become difficul...

What would be the proper protocol to put in place? >> the proper protocol would be to have each individual evaluated by somebody with a board certification and a primary care specialty. that would be the ideal thing. the next best thing would be to have physician extenders like nurse practitioners and physician assistants under the supervision of board-certified primary care specialist watchin this and supervising this as it took place. this will be very expensive, very expensive. >> very expens...

Complications that come about as a result of that. so we thought it would be a great idea to show as a cautionary tale, all of the problems that happen and how to fix them. >> its amazing. i went to the board approval process for neurosurgery. i was struck a lot of hospitals dont require someone be board certified. they should be board eligible. its a much more fragmented system than people realize in getting board certification. let me ask about what is a complication versus a patient being unh...

Should consider taking the same action. why did you recommend that, and what do you think the practical effect of such a step would be? >> so we think its totally incompatible of the role of the doctor. a doctor is about healing. a doctor is about soothing pain. a doctor is not meant to be conscripted by the state to make what is the involuntary killing of another person look as though its a medical procedure like getting your teeth pulled or putting your dog to sleep. its kabuki theater, rachel...

Theyre particularly important since anesthesia is one of the drugs they try to kill people with. theyve gone a step further. they have a policy that would essentially revoke the board certification of any anesthesiologists who are found to be involved in executions. so from that professional associations perspective, you want to kill people, we cant necessarily stop you, but then we can say that you can no longer be an anesthesiologist anymore. not one who can practice anywhere in the u.s., at l...
