General Plastic Surgeon operates during virtual traffic court

[Splinty]

The Medical Board of California said it would investigate a plastic surgeon who appeared in a videoconference for his traffic violation trial while operating.

The Sacramento Bee reports Dr. Scott Green appeared Thursday for his Sacramento Superior Court trial, held virtually because of the coronavirus pandemic, from an operating room. He was dressed in surgical scrubs with a patient undergoing the procedure just out of view; the beeps of medical machinery can be heard in the background.

“Hello, Mr. Green? Hi. Are you available for trial?” asked a courtroom clerk as an officer summoned to appear in trial raised her eyebrows. “It kind of looks like you’re in an operating room right now?”

“I am, sir,” Green replied. “Yes, I’m in an operating room right now. Yes, I’m available for trial. Go right ahead.”

The clerk reminded Green the proceedings were being livestreamed because traffic trials are required by law to be open to the public, and Green said he understood. He appeared to continue working with his head down while waiting for Court Commissioner Gary Link to enter the chamber.

When Link appeared and saw the doctor on the screen, the judge hesitated to proceed with the trial out of concern for the welfare of the patient.

“I have another surgeon right here who’s doing the surgery with me, so I can stand here and allow them to do the surgery also,” Green said.

The judge said he didn’t think it was appropriate to conduct trial under the circumstances. He told Green he’d rather set a new date for trial “when you’re not actively involved or participating and attending to the needs of a patient.”

Green apologized.

“Sometimes, surgery doesn’t always go as,” he said before the judge interrupted him.

i got clocked by CHP at 85 in a 70. But either he didn't show up to the trial date, or my explanation satisfied the court.
Either way, I just got a letter that said it was found in my favor and they were returning my >$300 ticket money.

from the way he spoke about it, a surgery he wasn't planning to be a part of suddenly required his participation.

and not all plastic surgery is boobs and noses. there's some pretty high-level reconstruction for victims of burns and other injuries that take a long time and could suddenly require an expert hand. The clock is ticking when a patient is under.

2 hours?
I'm pretty convinced traffic court is structured in such a way that the majority of people figure it's not worth wasting an entire day to fight a $200 ticket.

Of all the Covid changes that might stick even after the pandemic is over, virtual traffic court appearances won't be one of them. It's a revenue generator and they rely on people saying "fuck it" and mailing in their bullshit fine.

traffic court doesnt take that long here it is a little trailer outside the court and tickets cost 500 bucks here. this sort of makes what he did worse because he has "fuck it" money to just pay the ticket and not risk that patients life.
