They took an oath, Clay, so yes they are supposed to live up to that. Otherwise, they will get fired. You can't be a doctor and not have sworn the oath of Hippocrates.
Also, you mentioned you don't care about what people say if they save your life. She wasn't a stranger in the street, bleeding while someone held their hand on the wound and said; "Wow, she has a big bellybutton.' (Which, to be fair, would be a sad case of sorting out your priorities wrongly.)
This woman trusted the people to put her under, cut her open, make her life better and heal her. It's not like they were selflessly trying to help a lady and accidently said something slightly offensive out loud.
This is about professionals, distracting each other during an important surgery, while gossiping about private information from the doctors talk to the patiënt.And about the naked, unable-to-respond human body they are cutting open.
Bottomline is, you can't take risks when doctors mention that the patïents "shouldn't fight with someone that's going to operate them.'
A doctor even having the thought or making the comment of deliberately making mistakes out of spite, is just borderline dangerous. You can't take that risk. They can vent their frustration at a therapist, not on unconcious vulnerable humans.

@isaiahlamb8248 In certain cases, yes. Imagine if you're suicidal and you've cut your wrists and the doctor tells you; 'You don't need any anesthethics, you've done this to yourself, better suck it up buttercup, the world isn't your oyster' and then ignores your tears.
I know someone that's been in this position and tried commiting suicide again, right as she came home to her child, that was 5 at the time.
Don't underestimate the pain and humiliation that it causes when someone you depend on, betrays your trust.
I myself have avoided visiting the hospital for a year, to get blood drawn. Because the last nurse/assistant I met there, was an absolute bitch and laughed when I started crying. I don't want to share what she said, but it was not okay. I told my therapist, who said; 'That's just flat-out bullying what she did, why would she do that?!"
I got over my fear of the nurses last week and it turns out my blood is indeed, not okay and that I have high-levels of anti-thyroid-cells or whatever they're called. I probably should've gone sooner, but youknow, sometimes you can't handle being kicked when you're already down.
Especially when the one kicking is a doctor or a nurse that was there to help you up, youknow? Don't put the blame on the one on the floor.

Well, the child was already dead, it had stopped breathing. If you're following CPR procedures right, you can only make it better. And sure, the child can still die. But it was dead before you started giving CPR.
Important though;
If you know CPR, help the baby.
If you thínk you know what to do and there's no-one around, help the baby.
If an ambulance is on their way and you have nó clue what to do, then just leave it and wait for the ambulance.
Because so far I've heared about two people that died, because while they fainted, someone had the great idea to 'give them a full glass of water' and just poured it right down their throat, while they were unconcious.
If you don't know CPR, don't kill them before the ambulance arrives. Otherwise; go for it and try your best.

Not that I want to trivialize cursing at costumer-service because you guys are people, but just to put things in perspective for people getting cursed at; It is not you, that they are cursing at, at all.
Most likely, you sat there trying to help them. They are cursing at the 10-20 minutes of waiting in line, which has build up anger over time and then you ask them (usually, to get the point clear) trivial questions and at some point, the bomb bursts.
I have never cursed at a costumer-service-worker, but I have yelled at one once, when she misconcluded; 'So you are lying about the damage on your wall then? It was your floor." when I said; 'Last week I already called about my floor and none of you helped me either with that!" She was half-listening and instead of concluding I was not-helped twice, she thought I had been making up stories for fun and prankcalling the homeservices and waiting half an hour to get my call through because it is "so darn fun to do."
Either way, I always hope that people in costumer services realize that when I start off the convo sounding sarcastic, out of breath or cynical or angry, that this is because of the very lengthy waitingperiod (that is often accompanied with loud, distorted waitingmusic and an emotionless voice to tell you, every 10 seconds, that there your call is very important and you'll get to speak to someone asap.)

1. No, a plastic stick with a clip is not a weapon. I can do far worse things to someone with an unripe banana.
2. He did not fight back. He refused to work with him, but he did not fight back. He did not attack, provoke or struggle.
3. Although your advice is logical, in this case, it was a very brave thing to do. He confronted the man and made sure the severity of the case was being seen.
By diffusing the tension, there'd hardly be anything to sue over (in the eyes of the cops), wouldn't there? Also...cops have a lot of money and he (with all due respect) probably doesn't want to spend money on a case that he'll most likely lose anyway (if you know how things go.)
4. Sure, but in this case, the colour of his skin in combination to the fact there was a gun drawn, was quite a clear sign of racial bias.
5. Sueing, as I said, is not for everyone. It costs a lot of money to even get your case evaluated in the first place, let alone if they don't choose to settle and instead, drag all of their jury-friends into the story. Sueing costs a lot, takes a lot of time, this took guts and this showed the world what happened.

To be honest, that's different. Those people are old and in some ways a heart-attack is a more comfortable and peaceful way to go, then to wake up with 3 tubes down your throat and in your urethra, while you can't speak anymore and are forced to live the last few months of your life like an expensive suffering plant.
Which is exactly why, in sóme situations, people can be given (at explicit request of the patient and only if the patient has been examined and found to be sane of mind and not depressed or influenced by anyone else)"no CPR please"-bracelets by the doctor, in the Netherlands. Especially if they're prone to get strokes or have had heartdiseases for a while. It's a more dignified way of dying and as long as the patient had peace with that it's fine.
However, men and women in the start of their life, screaming for help because they're about to drown and someone not being able to help, because of a 2-meter distance, that on paper belongs to someone else or is not guarded by that beach-company or whatever is just shit. That sign is a guideline, not a rule.
