Doctors on Haitian aid mission disciplined for inappropriate behaviourPuerto Ricans think they are superior just because they are a us colony |
| By Tom Hill, 01-30-10, 12:47 PM |
Huge contributions get unfairly maligned I never cease to be amazed at the lengths media and negative individuals will go to attack the good work of others. These doctors unselfishly gave of themselves under conditions no one not present could ever understand - yet finding fault, tearing down goodwill and destroying these huge contributions seems to be the only way others who are NOT willing to give of them selfs know how to respond. Pathetic.
All those complaining should 1st match these doctors contributions instead of doing nothing other than citing something just might be flawed about others significant personal contributions.

contradictionYour comment about Puerto Ricans having a superiority complex is rooted in ignorance and a lack of understanding of Puerto Rican history. Puerto Rico is currently a colony of the United States. The colonial relationship b/w Puerto Rico & the US is one of coersive force by the United States against Puerto Rico. It is a testament and a tribute to the Puerto Rican character that in the face of US aggression and hostility that Puerto Ricans maintain a strong sense of self-confidence and individuality. What you describe as a superiority complex, I describe as a small islands ability to achieve in the face of US aggression. |

A couple of my personal comments...I don’t like pilots that will be flying the plane sitting a bar 'drinking' nor in the cockpit! I have seen the bar drinking!
As for doctors in the operating theatre, I would not like that either, no matter the circumstances! I have not seen that.
The superiority issue; I have seen a lot of forms of it and in a lots of very unusual places! I have no doubt that there are more than a few Puerto Ricans that have exhibited such attitude. Not all certainly, and not even the Majority! Drinking beer in the Operation Theatre, is that a Puerto Rican Tradition? I doubt its allowed! If it is not allowed, then doing so in Haiti suggests to me 'looking down'! |

Why is this even a newsworthy event?Aside from the semi-nude photos, the photos are not a big deal. The drinking and posing with arms for pictures happened on their way out of Haiti, not during their medical interventions. Poor judgement??? yes, definitely. Basis for destroying their reputations?? Definitely NOT!!!!!! |

WHY NOT JUST TAKE PICTURES OF YOURSELVES AND NOT THE BODIES??? I THINK IT’S JUST A REMINDER OF HOW SICK AND DEMENTED SOME PEOPLE ARE ACTING THESE DAYS. I MEAN IS IT ETHICAL? NO!!!

Mind over MatterPlease! To all those with a negative view of the Puerto Rican doctors, who came to the rescue of Haiti and helped tremendously unconditionally. The pictures that were taken were missinterpreted by the CNN crew. These doctors saved so many lives and without any rest or sleep kept working regardless of the difficulties they faced. The Puerto Rican’s are people who know how to deal with stressful situations. They were not in Haiti when those pictures were taken. They did not mean any harm. But the news always manages to turn everything around to their advantage, and it is such a shame that CNN chose to show this pictures with such a negative message. They should be grateful and proud that these Puerto Rican’s, people who are part of the United States went to Haiti on a labor of Love and human kindness, and were able to save so many lives. I give my thumbs up to Puerto Rican’s and advise them not to take these ignorant newscasters to heart!. |

Puerto Rican Doctors & NursesAs a Puerto Rican I think that those Doctors and Nurses exhibiting such a disregard for human life do not deserve to practice. They should be stripped of their titles and licenses. |
| By Herod, 01-30-10, 07:42 PM |
Doctors do it all the time.Doctors often end feeling that the patiens they treat are just lumps of meat, and they behave often like butchers with as carcass. I don’t know why people are shocked.? This is happening everyday in any emergency room in any hospital.
It’s much worse when they let die old people or practice active euthanasia to the elderly poor. |

| By Milly, 01-30-10, 09:15 PM |
Dam ShameNot all Puerto Ricans think they are superior, though the above statement happens to be a stereo type statement… as every culture… This leads down to ethical, and behavior of each physician. These doctors contributed, unselfishly gave of themselves under conditions which fall within a devastating environment. This was just not a flaw, they had freedom of choice, and they decided to MOCK those ill, hurt, and dead during a natural disaster. HOW WOULD WE FEEL IF ANY PHYSICIAN, MILITANT, POLICE OFFICER, OR CITIZEN WERE TO BEHAVE LIKE THOSE PUERTO RICANS DURING 9/11, A DISASTER NOT CAUSED BY NATURE. Given the fact that Puerto Rico is the United States Territory; it not only puts shame to the Puerto Ricans, but as well as the United States Government for not instilling ethical policies to those who give of themselves during disasters around the world. |
| By Objective observer, 01-30-10, 09:15 PM |
Objectivity is a must on the PRican pictures'tFirst, it was not CNN that first showed the pictures: a Puerto Rican got them on facebook. Second, The doctors are neither angels nor demons: they are human beings trying to do good and who, at the same time, exerted some bad judgement. I doubt they did any of this things with bad intentions or luck of respect for the people they were helping. I am not a Puerto Rican, but I live among them for a long time, and know they have a great heart, they suffer with others, but they also know how to have ligh moments in any circunstance.This was their way of coping with the horror they saw there. Give them a break and don’t forget the ton of good they did. |
| By Anonymous, 01-30-10, 10:13 PM |
Because it was HaitiI agree with the comment that said noone could have done that while helping the 9-11 victims. If an earthquake happens in Puerto Rico, will the doctors post nude pictures of the victims on facebook? Would they have taken the same type of photos with Italian victims. We all know that respect is not given, it’s obtained. I can only blame the Haitian government for not cultivating respect for Haiti. I believe the doctors should only learn to treat people equally no matter their economic situation. Haitians are people. They might be saving your grand’kids in the future. |
| By Anonymous, 01-30-10, 10:39 PM |
Respect for human lifeIam sure the Haitians are very greatful for all the help they are receiving from all the doctors, however as a doctor you should know not to photo your patients unless its for medical purposes. I do not care that they were having a drink however they had no rights to include the patient in their photo and then post it on facebook |
| By Haitian and Proud of it, 01-30-10, 11:02 PM |
Speaking truth to PowerFirst of all, it is a blatant violation of medical ethics to take the picture of patients without their consent. Second, the fisrt station that broke the story was Mega, a latin station.
The person that said that haiti is at best filthy, corrupt and poor should use the same words to descrive himself because with his lack of compassion, empathy and understanding you could say he has a filthy mind, a corrupt understanding and he’s poor in spirit. I just have one more thing to say: If I dug up your mother or grand mother’s grave and I took pictures of myslef pretending to have sex with them, I’m sure any human being with some form of self respect would be rightfully indignated. Only, a sick person would think that it was in pure fun even if I was a war vet with PTSD. they took pictures of children exposing their genatalia, ans smiling on a dead patient putting a crucifix over her head. Well, I’m sorry if I don’t see any humor in that. |
| By Coki, 01-30-10, 11:26 PM |
do not judge if you do not knowI myself am Puerto Rican and let me tell you all something... we do NOT think we’re superior to anyone. We have problems of our own and you will find we are a very humple people. The photos of the doctors taken with beer and guns in hand w/ the DOMINICAN military guys (guys in green uniform), were taken in DOMINICAN REPUBLIC... NOT IN HAITI. Or can’t you tell the different between the flag of one country and the other? It’s clear that the flag on one of the green military uniforms is the Dominican Rep. flag. Look it up. ALthough I admit that these doctors could’ve avoided posing in their work, medical uniforms on what’s supposed to be an emergency relief trip to Haiti, I know they were not taken to ridicule ANYBODY; although they are smiling big, they are not laughing at anybody. I admit some of these pictures could’ve been avoided and these doctors were clearly ignorant but they ARE NOT laughing at anybody or at Haiti’s tragedy. They are proud to be doing what they’re doing, to be helping out these people who are in need of the world right now, these PUERTO RICAN doctors went to Haiti VOLUNTARILY! They are not being PAID for the hard labor they’re accomplishing in Haiti. The economical situation in PUERTO RICO is not the best right now, as it is in almost everywhere in the world, and some of these doctors chose to |

And I’m not judging Puerto Ricans. I lived there six years and know that these few doctors do not represent all Puerto Ricans. But these Doctors did something wrong and should pat for it. |

WAS JUST ONLY A MISTAKEAS A PUERTORICAN I FEEL DISSAPOINTED WITH THE COMMENT WHICH TELLS WE FEEL SUPERIOR. THAT COMMENT DOESNT HAVE RELATION WITH THE ARTICLE AND SHOWS HOW IGNORANT IS THE PERSON WHO WROTE IT ABOUT THE PUERTORICANS.
I AM AGREE THAT THE PICTURES WERE TAKEN IN DOMINICAN REPUBLIC, NOT IN HAITI. BUT UNDERSTANDING THE REASON THEY WAS THERE I THINK THEY SHOULD KEEP MORE DISCRESION. I THINK THEY WERE THERE FOR A VERY VALUABLE REASON AND THEY WERE WORKING VERY HARD FOR TO HELP PEOPLE IN NEED. THE ONLY MISTAKE THEY DID WAS TO POST THOSE PICTURES IN FACEBOOK. THEY WENT TO HAITI FOR TO HELP AND THEY DID.. BUT NOW I WOULD LIKE TO ASK. DOES ANYBODY KNOWS WHERE IS GOING ALL THE $$$ THE DIFFERENT PEOPLE ARE COLLECTING FOR HAITI? THE HAITIANS ARE FIGHTING FOR FOOD. THE CAOS STILL THERE.. IS UNDERSTANDABLE THAT BUT DONT YOU THINK WE NEED TO WORRY ABOUT THAT TOO? IS NOT ONLY ABOUT PICTURES FROM DRS.

| By Gringo in PR, 01-31-10, 01:08 PM |
Not ProfessionalIt is a good thing the Puerto Rican Doctors in Haiti didn’t treat the patients in Haiti as they do in Puerto Rico. In Puerto Rico people get an appointment for the day and you sign up and have to wait hours for their service. The Doctors in Puerto Rico do not treat people here with respect, so why should I think they will do it in Haiti. (just my opinion) |
| By Anonymous, 01-31-10, 02:42 PM |
| i think its absolutely disgusting and degrading. yes more than half of the u.s. population goes out for a beer after work, but they dont go get drunk and start taking pictures of themselves with dead bodies or patients in a hospital. all of you who are defending what was done here are clearly not in your right mind. doctors have an oath to not reveal a patiences privacy and taking pictures with the bodies of some helpless people that died a horrible death crosses that line. people these days just have no respect for anybody no matter what situation theyre in. these sick basterds not only need their medical licences revoked indefinately i think they should get some jail time because not only did they not have consent for the pictures of the living they didnt have consent from the families of the dead before they posted them on a social networking site for all they world to see. im am completely and utterly disgusted with this situation. |
| By American in PR, 01-31-10, 02:51 PM |
Get all the facts straight before judgingPuerto Rican citizens are very humble and happy individuals. In this island country you will see people of all backgrounds and personalities as anywhere in the US or the world. The reason doctors have first come first serve appointments in most cases is because that is how they avoid no shows. Many doctors will stay open until late at night and will see all patients, so they too are in the office WORKING all day. If you don’t want to wait, I suggest you move to a country where you don’t have to wait. Good luck with that! As for the PR doctors in Haiti, they were DONE with their mission and unwinding in the DR before heading home. The little girl was naked, but at least they had the decency to cover her genital areas. Has anyone asked themselves if the doctors asked for permission to take the pictures? Posting the pictures on FB was not such a great idea, but has anyone thought that these are not the only ones they posted and they probably did it to try and educate people as to what all they experienced while on their mission? Remember, EVERYONE who is in Haiti right now must be under large amounts of stress and MANY will probably at one point or another make a bad judgement call. Plus, we all deal with stress differently. Did anyone die due to the consequences of what these doctors did? Was anyone’s life threatened? These men and women SAVED LIVES and did more than most of us have done or will do for humanity. The embarrassment the they caused for themselves, the PR Senate and fellow countrymen should be enough punishment. For those of you who are jumping to conclusions without getting all your facts straight and just using the oppotunity to spread your hatred for different cultures, SHAME ON YOU! I criticize the lack of judgement on the DR police for handing over thier rifles to unauthorized personel who are enjoying a well deserved celebration with beer. |

I believe I understand your frustrations, but what add to the smell?
Your failure to accept the just criticisms while objecting to only the wrong critiques leaves the problem on the floor! And it seems to me the good work of those doctors on the floor in the smelly stuff!
I assume drinking was going on in the Operating Theatre, such has not been denied! Whether before, during, or after operations is not the point! Its the wrong place in every Nation! Shame on those that do it, and even worse is to do it on camera!

Puerto Rican feel superior?Hey anonymous, how on earth are Puerto Ricans going to feel superior to anyone if they’re the one’s being oppressed as a colony. Wtf??? Please explain this to me? Because a descendant of Puerto Rican parents I tend to hear this a lot from ignorant immigrants from other countries. As for the photos taken, I think people just over reacted. May be these doctors were just passing through down time. I do agree some of the photos shouldn’t have been posted on Facebook because of the severity of the situation. But all in all I think it was just one big over reaction from those that want to be so righteous. Please give me a break. Who ever threw these doctors under the bus. |

Is not shame, is not superiority, is not the media… is people.First at all we have to analyze this situation from all angles, different people different cultures, believes and opinions. I believe no one had the courage stand up and said to all of you from my Puerto Rico and from my people some actions were taken in this situation offended others, I do apologize from those that got offended and they are not use to see the cruel reality of the facts. Also I am agree with others that some pictures should not been published but in the other hand I am agree and I congratulate their hard work and dedication for those Doctors that offer their help with out any cost knowing that they do have to leave their patients with serious health illness to serve in another country in need; if they do not feel to do so, trust me they weren’t there helping our neighbors I know as a matter of fact that here in US people does not like the cruel reality of the situations. The media wants to cover up the brutality and the bloody facts that take place in each single story. Specially, when it becomes from different countries. Me as a child that born in a small beautiful island in the Caribbean called Puerto Rico, my parents they never try to cover up or try to put a nice picture in an ugly situation. As a child I did understand how things work in this negative, contradictory and malevolent world. I been thinking how many people US had killed for centuries from Africans, Native Americans, Spanish up to Iraqis to gain power, how it can happen? But no one says nothing about it and is worst than some pictures surrounded of dead bodies. That’s murder… this is reality. |

In the question of ethical behaviorI was shocked to read in a report that since the news first broke, many people had come out in support of these doctors from Puerto Rico and I see now it is true. Being Puerto Rican I can say as a people, we are very disappointed with the conduct of these doctors. Now I have read how many here are of the opinion that unless anyone actually spend time in Haiti working to help the earthquake victims, that person should keep his opinion to himself, but I am sorry if you feel that way because everyone is entitled to his or her opinion. With regard to the superiority complex, I do not see how that comment has anything to do with this, but again everyone is entitled to his or her opinion; I just think perhaps there is another forum for that subject, right now we are dealing with a question of ethics and ethical behavior or the lack thereof. So let me dive right in by saying that I am certain these doctors have had extensive training dealing with ethics and what is expected of them in their chosen profession, so it goes without saying that those involved, as I am certain not all the doctors from Puerto Rico acted unprofessionally, should have known better. Moreover, because I think that this is a fare assessment, I can add how I hope that at the conclusion of the investigation Secretary Gonzalez relieves those involved of their license. Now I realize some here are also of the opinion that because they were rendering much needed aid in a troubled zone, they should be treated with some degree of lenience. To those people I say I am sorry but just because your intentions are noble this does not justify poor judgment on the part of anyone rendering assistance in any situation regardless of your station. In addition, being an armed service veteran, I know there is some truth to the comments regarding posttraumatic stress disorder; nevertheless, there are many healthy ways to deal with stress. Some are less effective than others and this day and age it is well known, even documented that the consumption of alcoholic beverages is definitely ill advised, particularly when managing this type of stress, and with all their training these doctors should also know this. I would think someone in their position would prefer to journal his experiences as a way of coping, especially since this might prove useful later. Especially if they ever write a research paper for a medical journal that can help those that follow in their footsteps, I seriously doubt social networking websites even qualify in this regard, but hey what do I know. Bottom line is, their conduct is inexcusable, they have the necessary training and should have known better. Their unethical conduct during these events is deplorable, and as someone here already mentioned, this is not the only time a doctor has been known to show little or no respect for patients. I will grant you not every doctor from Puerto Rico during this tragedy behaved in this deplorable manner; but if this is how he or she acts during other normal circumstances, they should not be allowed to practice medicine in usual everyday circumstances, when they are less affected by job related stress. Because I am certain their conduct during this tragedy can be likened more to that of an ill-mannered adolescent and this is not someone I would trust with my life. |
| By Anonymous, 02-02-10, 04:12 AM |
in the question of ethical behaviorI could not agree more. As a Puertorican married to a Puertorican surgeon we are both appalled at the behavior of these doctors. They took an oath, and like you stated, they were trained and licensed and should have known better. They should not be practicing medicine. It is simply atrocious behavior specifically coming from someone we as patients should trust with the most precious thing we have: life. |
