How in the world does Greg Abbott sleep at night? Dr. Giggles there causes wanton dismemberment and destruction, and he's going to protect the hospital over flesh-and-blood people?

And frankly, if the fact that his colleague took away his instruments during a procedure didn't result in them revoking his priveleges, the hospital damn well should be held accountable.

“Abbott, who is running for governor, has asked the court permission to defend the statute, although he is not required to do so.” The only thing worse than an asshole is an overachieving asshole.

Don't forget attempting to outlaw abortion and restrict access to contraception. Can't make a business of killing people without plenty of people to kill.

These fuckwits are so married to their "all you need to fix healthcare is tort reform" bullshit that they'll let the dead bodies stack up to protect their ODS. Nevermind that Texas already has some of the strictest tort laws and they still have some of the highest health expenditures. Nevermind that tort costs amount to about 2-3% of overall health costs. When in doubt, chuck reality out the window to protect those talking points- sorry about the collateral damage

As a woman, I have a few original thoughts I'd like to share with this dickweed, but I've already come too close on violating the "Rules for Radicals" today as it stands.

Friends don't let friends operate while high on coke. Hospital management didn't suspect anything? Were they blinded by the money Duntsch was bringing in?
