George Varghese is the quintessential Cornell dermatologist: oafish, slippery, ignorant, and totally disrespectful of patient privacy. Having been well trained by the morally bankrupt vermin and anti-privacy specialists at Weill Cornell, this scoundrel regards patients with inferior insurance as objects and teaching tools that are undeserving of any right to privacy whatsoever.
For those of you who desire a respectful and discreet dermatologic examination, neither this beast, nor any of the other illiterate barbarians at Cornell Dermatology are a viable option, as they will invite all of York Avenue to sit in on, what should otherwise be, a private session between the patient and their physician.
The creature has the gall to write on its bio: "I understand the commitment of providing compassionate care to my patients. From our staff to our colleagues in other departments, we will all work together to provide you with the best possible office visit experience and make sure all your concerns are addressed at each visit."
This involves things like inviting residents of the opposite sex into the examination room to observe one's doctors visits without consent. The savage also appears to have been charged with the task of training dermatology residents. I'm not exactly sure what these teaching duties include, except to provide instruction on how to egregiously violate patient privacy, while inculcating the younger generation of doctors with the importance of sadistically trampling on the dignity of other human beings.
Teaching residents how to properly remove moles so that ugly permanent scars aren't left behind, is evidently not a part of the curriculum. Nevertheless, one key component of the curriculum that receives much attention indeed, is the importance of stripping the patient of all privacy and dignity, by inviting unwanted voyeurs into the room to watch as the patient is examined naked. (Thankfully for George and his residents, they are able to use their superior insurance plans to avoid this very thing, and are in turn able to meet with their own physicians in private).
I am not entirely certain as to whether the concepts of privacy and consent are taught in the modern American medical school. What I am certain of, is that if these concepts are in fact taught, this creature was most certainly playing hooky that day.
Certain lapses aside, a trip to Cornell Dermatology is not without value, as it offers a most intriguing sociological perspective into how much of our health care system is run by the most lamentable and pathetic gaggle of illiterates, villains, knaves and con artists. read more
