How To Lose Your $286,000 a Year Job as a Doctor

News article: www.kob.com/ne...

[@Tythetorturer01]

I was homeless for 6 months, i stole a pack of bread to eat so i wouldnt starve during my construction job, i was about to walk out when a LP officer stopped me, looked at the bread, and my frail frame, and asked me if i was hungry. I said yes with shame. Ill never forget what he said "well, how about you set that bread down right here and we'll go get some burger king." I have never cried so hysterically from someones kindness. Not everyone is like this pos lady. Sometimes we have no other option... So after the comments I should clarify. I lived in an extremely small area. Word of mouth traveled fast. I was ashamed of my situation and couldn't bring myself to face a shelter or any food bank. Which I couldn't get to anyways due to a lack of gas in my tank. And even if I received said food, I had nowhere to cook it. I was just a kid, 19. I'm now 22 and have a child of my own. I've learned from my mistakes and have confided in myself to do better, and be better. And to never allow myself to stoop so low again. I'm also sorry for throwing shade at this lady, she may have a mental illness and who am I to cast the first stone? I'm a sinner. I've been dirty. Downtrodden. I should've thought before I typed sad to say. I'm sorry to anyone who feels as if this isn't true, because things like this save people's lives. I was very close to giving up on myself. And my dreams. But no longer do I have that thinking process. :)

How disturbing is it that a woman who makes 250,000 a year has multiple shoplifting cases

[@IncorrigibleBigotry]

Not disturbing, just really, really stupid. Kleptomania is a disease. What IS disturbing though, given it's a medical center, is she's probably stolen stuff from her place of work as well.

What’s more disturbing is how much Target makes per year.

[@gothicMCRgirl]

Kleptomania is a hell of a thing, and it can affect anyone, regardless of financial status. In fact, for a lot of rich people, it’s part of the thrill. They delude themselves into thinking, “well if I get caught, I can just pay for it”. The money isn’t the issue, it’s the high the act provides.

My son was 7 and stole candy from the dollar store. We walked back there, he apologized and I told the clerk my son's punishment would be picking up trash around the store's parking lot for 7 days (because he cried and refused to apologize until I told him we will stand there all day, if necessary.) Seven days, one for each year of his age. I thought he learned his lesson. A few months later, he did it again. He had to pick up trash around the police station for 14 days (second offense, so 7 days times 2) and doing it during the hottest time of day. He had water, could take as many breaks as he wanted, a large portion was in the shade of trees, but that finally taught him. He's 17yrs old now. He laughs about it now, but he learned.

My daughter is head of loss protection in Walmart. Believe it or not, they do have a heart. They bought baby formula for a mother who was shoplifting it. Didn't press charges and sent her to Healthcare clinics that carry formula. Once she was a customer checking out at self checkout. She could see he was up to something , and noticed he didn't scan his card. She of course made a scene and said he didn't pay, he argued with her, and finally he just left. He had dog food and a few food items. She would have let him go, but he also tried to steal a video movie. The food was essential, but not the movie

People who shoplift baby formula typically shoplift in quantities that a mother would not, and repeat the offense at the same stores. A seasoned loss prevention officer would certainly be able to tell the difference.

[@lukeGGlee]

That panic attack is because she knew she was losing her job

[@jb6712]

Not at all. Her position as Assistant Chief Medical Officer is not one that just any doctor qualifies for, so she would be given several month's suspension by the hospital, without pay, and then would go back to work under hyper strict rules that she'll have to obey for a very long time if she wants to keep her career intact. Her "panic attack" was more likely due to the fact that A) she was caught on camera, B) it wasn't something she could lie her way out of, so her family and her employer would learn of it very quickly, and C) she'd done an incredibly stupid thing that weakened her high position of huge trust (the trust of her employer). It's part of why she was so compliant with the officers; she knew that if she battled them or caused any kind of trouble, THEN she would lose her career status.

It’s a mental health issue, rich people do things like this all the time. Her lawyer will get this reduced. Target is the worst place to shoplift from. Wait till she finds out they’re gonna sue her civilly too. I used to work security at their DC. You get prosecuted and also sued. They want their money back and fee’s.

What woman doesn’t carry her DL in her wallet? It’s total BS!

[@melissalarson2569]

I cant believe they just let her walk with no accountability when she stole 2,000+ of merchandise. She better be fired.

He was so respectful, gentle, and clear. I hope she will learn and never do it again, but if she’s making $250k and doing that now, I suspect it’s a compulsive behavior not so much a phase.

[@baileybutterfly320]

I don’t have compassion for her. If she was BLK, she wouldn’t been treated with kitten gloves

[@mercyzengeni9391]

I agree it's a compulsive behaviour only the person is educated and was caught. She probably has an undiagnosed mental health issue

He’s a police officer. He’s supposed to be that way.

WHAT'S WORSE IS THAT SHE IS THE CHIEF MEDICAL DIRECTOR OF A HOSPITAL WHO HAS THE AUTHORITY OVER THOUSANDS OF DOCTORS, NURSES, MEDICAL STAFF, ETC.

Growing up I saw my dad drive back to the grocery store because they accidentally gave him an extra $10 bill for his change. And we were broke lol
