She was straight up injuring people.... like neglectful things....

[janellewalters]

This needed to happen. She was by far more concerned with her subscribers than with her patients. Even answering questions, while performing surgery. If she was working on me and did this I would be furious that I didn't have her undivided attention.

[lauraelliott]

One of her patients was interviewed and said she had gone back and watched her surgery and noticed multiple instances where Dr. Roxy was making cuts without looking, because she was too busy looking into the camera and answering questions to pay attention to the actual patient. The patient ended up with severe wound complications requiring further surgery and ending up permanently disfigured.

I swear this is happening across all careers. I had a literal culinary chef, who is literally live stream our class instead of teach us!

[giannamadison]

Even if ethics didn’t come into play the fact that she was recording people in compromising and vulnerable times is in poor judgment

[emilyb]

The really disturbing thing is she wasn't just live streaming and getting on with the surgery..she was apparently answering live questions during the procedures. Really shocking behavior and the fact she carried on after causing those injuries is a big red flag.

Thank you for explaining this! I know that I wouldn't want my doctor distracted by the need for social media clout - or anything else! - if I were undergoing surgery. The fact that she allowed this to happen stuns me, and she got what was coming to her.

Thank you for this clean unadulterated explanation that focused on legal standards of medical practice. This physician was NOT confused as to why she had to surrender her license.😮

It’s literally so sad, the patient mentioned basically lost so much abdominal tissue and suffered brain damage from septic shock. A lot of Dr. Roxy’s patients are banning together and reporting their experiences.

Thank you for breaking this down. This kind of thing can so easily be misunderstood by the public. A sound and measured response goes a long way in fixing public misconceptions.

As a patient who’s been the victim of malpractice twice, I’m glad Dr Roxy lost her license. My life was destroyed by the first doc who messed me up and the second gave me medical PTSD. It’s nice to see doctors also face the consequences when they break important rules and harm patients. The patient shouldn’t be the only one facing the consequences.

[MrsStilly]

Sounds like Dr Roxy got humbled. I'm glad. Too many careless physicians these days.

[ellespoonies]

Not to mention, having a phone or any recording equipment in the operating room is a HORRIFIC breach of sterilization. Phones often have more bacteria than your toilet seat, the fact that it’s a phone doesn’t someone make it more innocent or harmless.

[avacetshelar]

I am so glad to know that people in our profession are still held to that standard.

I would never agree to being videoed while I was unconscious. No way

[blaackberry]

Thanks for clearing this up and being rational and responsible.

My mother has been the victim of multiple doctors and their neglect and they werent distracted during the procedures. As a doctor, lives are in your hands take that seriously.

[mousehouse]

The scary thing is, she only lost her license in Ohio. She could get licensed in another state and practice there.

[builtontherockhomestead]

I would think livestreaming surgery would be a massive HIPPA violation and tictok violation. 4 weeks ago I was in an accident and the ambulance driver is the mother of a 6 yr old i teach Sunday School too. The mother told me she couldn't even tell her daughter that she drove to my accident. She had to stay quiet about everything.

I worked for a Plastic Surgeon who had a 99% infection rate. Why? He refused to scrub thoroughly, would go home in his surgery scrubs for lunch and then straight back into the OR. One pts nipples became necrotic, turned black and horrid colors and fell tf OFF. he was AWFUL. And no one stopped him.

[Emily-mxri]

Thank you for talking about this from a doctors perspective. It clears up alot of rumours and really shows what an awful doctor she was.
