A man goes on a rampage, looking for a doctor who refused to do an HIV test

July 23, 2006

He crashes his minivan into a medical clinic. What else is new:

A man who crashed his minivan into a medical clinic, and then went on a rampage inside, was trying to find a doctor he blames for endangering his life by refusing to run an HIV test on him in 1988, a criminal complaint said.

Geoffrey Fitzgerald, diagnosed with AIDS eight years later, was charged in La Crosse County Circuit Court Wednesday with second-degree recklessly endangering safety, criminal damage to property and failure to comply with an officer’s attempt to take him into custody.

We’d never know… Kind of difficult to say since we don’t know who his doctor was and even if he/she still works for the clinic. But he almost run over a nurse. Could’ve killed a few waiting patients too.

I wish the guy had severely injured some of those typical American asshole patients…you know the kind, who think their uri or back pain is an emergency…then they would know what a real medical problem is…

yeah, Maybe he could have killed a couple babies, that’ll give them something to cry about.

Seriously, I hope you’re not a physician…

He is a physician and he is a nut job as well. Every time he leaves for awhile I hope maybe he has been arrested and we will see him profiled by John Walsh. Evidently they haven’t caught up to the sick bastard yet. Imagine him being in charge of your care.
