Sentencing was set for 10am; he was sentenced to the max 190 years.

Appropriate sentence. Shame he decided to throw away all that training, education, and experience, but there's no place for him in this society.

Question. Would it still be an “appropriate sentence if it was 75 years?
These numbers always make me smirk a little.
No need to set a sentence term that will never be satisfied. It’s like they are going for records for an offense every time. 190 years. 287 years. 560 years. 14 life sentences.
Just say the remainder of the convicts life. That is all that is necessary to know they will no longer be a threat to society.

It's to make sure that he can't ever get paroled.
spacejamb@reddit
It’s because if he successfully appeals one or more of the charges they come off the 190 year sentence instead of a 75 year sentence. If 60 years get knocked off on appeal he’s still servicing 130 instead of 15

The point is so that if a charge is removed or overturned for one reason or another, the real effect stays the same

My buddy worked with him. Said he was a shit head prior to all this

That's good to hear, I was kind of expecting the usual "license suspended for 2 years" and a slap on the wrist.
hyperchickenwing@reddit
He wasn't rich enough for all'at
Icy_Huckleberry_8049@reddit
yep, max sentence handed out. He did this because he was so vain, too. Wanted to be seen as a better doctor than those he was working with.

Dude could have lived the life making absolute bank, but decided murder was more fun.

He was living the life. Guy had a ton of nice cars, from what he said he owned a stake in Nick & Sams, owned a crazy house.
He worked with my father as his anesthesiologist, in which he poisoned a couple of his patients. His entire motivation was that he was starting to fuck up on the job, so he wanted to make other anesthesiologists look bad by having their patients code while in surgery. Luckily everybody who coded in the hospital was saved, but the one nurse who brought an IV bag home died.
TheFifthPhoenix@reddit
Small note, but it was actually another anesthesiologist, not a nurse, who took the IV bag home and died
UnknownQTY@reddit
What was this asshole’s rationale? What was his motive? I initially thought it might be something like the nurse who stole morphine from an IVF clinic and replaced it with saline and no one believed the women saying their egg retrievals were super painful but… he was just straight poisoning IV bags? Why?
Her death is tragic, but this seems… odd. Is this normal? Is this the physicians’ equivalent of stealing copy paper for your home printer?
Principle_Dramatic@reddit
He was on probation or something with the medical board. He spikes the bags with lidocaine then comes in to save the day when something goes south. There’s only one antidote and it’s apparently not something you would think of immediately
UnknownQTY@reddit
Well that’s horrific.
ThyInspiration@reddit
Idk if this the same guy but I saw a YouTube video about a Texas doctor who put poison in the bags to try to get his coworkers fired or under investigation. He was also being investigated I think and thought it would throw them off his trail…..
Background_Fee_4391@reddit
Same guy
HoneyIShrunkMyNads@reddit
He had been fucking up on the job and from what I've heard just was being careless even before poisoning IV bags (all heard from my father who was a doctor and had this guy on some of his procedures as an anesthesiologist).
He wanted to make other anesthesiologists look bad to take heat off him being a fuck up.
DrH4ck3r@reddit
I was wondering this as well
2ManyCooksInTheKitch@reddit
I briefly dated a paramedic, he'd bring IV bags to every bachelor party.
littlehockeypuck@reddit
I have a friend who used to be a paramedic and he took them home all the time. Used them when his wife had too much wine
giantnegro@reddit
Not unheard of. I know doctors who take home expired or unused extras for first aid. Soooo many sponges.

this dude had charges from 2018 for cruelty to animals. Might be controversial, but I think a medical license and one of the key indicators of psychopathy should always be grounds for permanent removal.

Interesting how Baylor got their name dropped from story. I mean where were the other check points in the overall system.
Bitter_Sorbet8479@reddit
Public execution, literally the only reasonable punishment. Hang him like they did saddam.
origutamos@reddit
This is so evil. Truly monstrous and satanic.
YaGetSkeeted0n@reddit
surprised they didn't go for the death penalty
LightsStayOnInFrisco@reddit
Death penalty by IV bag roulette. Each day, twice per day. Is he hooked to an IV that's simply hydrating his body...or is today's drip the killer?
WonderlustHeart@reddit
I knew Dr Kaspar. What a loss and screw this guy.
ThyInspiration@reddit
She was the Dr who died kus of this mofo right?
WonderlustHeart@reddit
Yes. She took a bag home to give herself fluids not knowing.
ThyInspiration@reddit
That’s fucked up I live in Dallas lmao. We all do. It’s just shocking for a regular Joe like us to hear about it honestly!
WonderlustHeart@reddit
Dude look into forest park and how it shut down. Left Texas a while ago… Texas is attractive for docs bc of the laws limiting how much you can sue. It attracts not so great or honest docs.
Now, I worked with AMAZING docs who people flew literally all over the world to come to.
The medical field is crazy as hell. Ask friends and family and definitely nurses. Learn to read between the lines of what they’re saying in their suggestion.
Dr Death was highly recommended and highly known in the medical community to be terrible.
Esp if a girl… anywhere in the US especially do the research for your GYN docs.
DrH4ck3r@reddit
This is one of the most awful things I have seen from a doctor. Prison is not enough in this sick case. This person lacks all basic empathy for human life - The literal reason one should be a doctor. Horrible!
