El Paso hospital forced to call out Trump’s lie that surgeons left the operating room to see him

.......


Not only did they meet with me, they were pouring out of the room. The doctors were coming out of the operating rooms. There were hundreds and hundreds of people all over the floor. You couldn’t even walk on it. So, you know, there’s a lot to happen,” Trump told reporters on the White House lawn Wednesday.


At no time did, or would, physicians or staff leave active operating rooms during the presidential visit. Our priority is always patient care,” UMC spokesman Ryan Mielke told ABC-7.


The only survivor of the mass shooting who met with the president was the baby whose parents shielded her body, dying in the process. No one else wanted to meet with Trump.

EL PASO, Texas - The University Medical Center of El Paso on Thursday officially disputed a claim made by President Trump that doctors left the operating room in order to see him during his recent visit to the hospital.

UMC spokesman Ryan Mielke told ABC-7 that the president's account of his visit in that regard simply wasn't accurate.

"At no time did, or would, physicians or staff leave active operating rooms during the presidential visit. Our priority is always patient care," he said in an email to ABC-7.

Trump made the contention on Wednesday, when he told reporters that doctors in both El Paso and Dayton came out of the operating room to see him and that "the love for me — maybe as representative of the country — but for me, and my love for them, was unparalleled."

The president visited UMC, as well as a hospital in Dayton, following the Aug. 3 mass shootings in the two communities that killed a total of 31 people. Trump described those visits on Wednesday as "beautiful, very sad, horrible moments."

38. That's nice

But it's also important to support the original reporting and not just the curation.

2. He is such a goddam fucking liar!

This needs to be shouted all over the Internet!

[MyOwnPeace]

10. You got THAT right!!!!!

[malaise]

3. Jebus effin' Krist does he ever stop

Please make this go away!

[MyOwnPeace]

11. You got THAT right too!!!!!

[RockRaven]

4. Any adverse outcome from any surgery that day would attract a malpractice lawyer

interested in using this Trump statement as part of their suit.

Usually pointing out Trump's ridiculous lies is more trouble than it is worth because most people know he lies all the time, and doing so attracts vitriol from The Dotard. In this case, they've got to nip this in the bud right away to limit the damage that lie could do.

[Chakaconcarne]

16. Yep....

[Midnightwalk]

5. Sounds Stalin-esque

He would love if to be true. Stragglers should be sent to the gulag.

He’s been hanging out with his best bud Kim too much. Bad influence.

How is doctors rushing out of operations a good thing?

[dalton99a]

6. Hundreds of surgeons rushed out of hundreds of operating rooms to catch a glimpse of His greatness

[MyOwnPeace]

12. "It is HE.........

the KING of ISRAEL!!!"

[GetRidOfThem]

43. not too long there was a thread on twitter...

...that asked what you would name a movie about the trump presidency. There were many hillarious ones, I contributed "Donald Trump, Superturd!"

[NCjack]

13. The lives of scores of people were nearly lost because surgeons rushed

out of operating rooms to admire -- no, worship -- His Excellency.

Hopefully, all the surgeons of the world take note that Liar-#45 will use them as props.

[Skittles]

7. think about this

he cannot even stand the thought of injured people in the operating room taking the spotlight from him

[Bernardo de La Paz]

15. Only an extreme sociopathic narcissist could conceive surgeons abandoning patients to admire him. nt

[CaptYossarian]

9. This lie is believable.

The surgeons wanted to see the demented SOB who was responsible for the mass shooting.

[GusBob]

21. Yeah, what if he is not lying? The hospital has tocover their ass

I could totally see the surgeons leaving the OR to meet him

In fact the whole scrub in crew probably did as well

It would have to be documented in the surgeons report as they would have to resterilize everything

Huge liability risk for the hospital

I think they are lying

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

32. Oh JFC, of course Trump is lying! He always lies.

No surgeon, nurse or other medical person would leave an operating room during the course of surgery for any personal reason, and certainly not to meet Trump or any otjer president. To suggest otherwise is a terrible insult to medical professionals.

[GusBob]

39. Meh

Some of the surgeons I work with think they and trump are god-like, i could definitely see them doing it. Superiority complex is rampant
Also have known many many many folks in health care administration who lie for a living

Actually one full out lied to my face yesterday

[Poiuyt]

17. I wonder how many patients who were under sedation got up off the table to see the Chosen One

That opportunity doesn't come every day, you know!

[Clash City Rocker]

33. How many dead bodies in the morgue were resurrected so they could worship the Chosen One? LOL.

[ck4829]

50. Oh my

[Karadeniz]

18. When he made that claim, I knew people wouldn't leave an operating room.

20. It's a wonder that they did not use the white power/OK hand signal.

49. Wow

[spanone]

22. He should be impeached on his lies. Unacceptable to the once leading nation of the free world.

no president should be allowed to lie like this.

[Still In Wisconsin]

23. ME! ME! MEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!

Everybody loves MEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!


Thing is, I think he might actually believe this.

[ck4829]

48. You know he does

[Jim__]

24. Something is seriously wrong with him. We need him gone. - n/t

[warmfeet]

35. The absurdities abound.

We need him gone. This is not a display of resilience, not by us, not under extreme circumstances; this is capitulation. Our time to act is running short. We must all fight now. NOW.

[ck4829]

47. Indeed

[Ilsa]

26. We should have started a forum two years ago

With just this stuff in it. All trump weirdness, narcissistic, fascist, rascist, greedy behavior delineated. GD has lots of subjects covered in it, and trump's actions and words could fill another forum.

[Toorich]

27. Many people are saying ....

... that the Chosen One - King of Israel - Second Coming of God, with his mere
presence, brought folks out of comas, made the lame to walk, the blind to see
and there may be a Uge announcement in the very near future about somebody
who had been pronounced dead, but we will have our announcement about that
very soon.

[usaf-vet]

30. As a former military OR technician (scrub) NOTHING allow you to leave a case except a relief person.

No matter what no one left an ongoing surgery without first being relieved and replaced by a suitable replacement. Surgeon(s) for surgeon(s). Anesthetist for the anesthetist. Circulating nurse for the circulating nurse. And scrub tech for scrub tech.

Then only for an extreme reason. In four years I only saw one surgeon leave and that was for a sudden illness but only when the replacement surgeon entered the room gowned, gloved and ready to step in.

Trump is of course lying.

[Croney]

31. It is true, it is all true, just as the Bible predicted.

And it shall come to pass that The Chosen One will walk through the halls of the dead and the dead shall rise up and follow him, crawling at his feet, and the touch of his robe shall cause them to be whole once again.

Just check the morgues of those hospitals, I'm sure they are empty.

[Joe941]

34. I'm not particularly a fan of these pretty stories...

There are.so many of them and it seems a little petty. We have big issues and these little things distract in my opinion. How about we get back to impeachment.

[Docreed2003]

37. As a surgeon

I can promise you Jesus Christ himself could walk into my hospital and I wouldn't leave a patient on the operating room table. This guys bullshit knows no depth.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

40. Have a look at posts # 21 and #39

in which we are told that surgeons are Trump fans and liars.

[Docreed2003]

51. Smh...

Lovely. That's one reason I stay away from most of the healthcare discussions here..."doctors are just out to make money" is a frequent trope there as well

[ck4829]

46. +1

[Ahpook]

41. Cultists will just claim fake news

I wish my life was so easy! Just put my fingers in my ears and drown it out.

I would imagine that is partially why they are so complacent. Once you admit to yourself we have serious trouble, the world changes and you have to do something about it. Well, besides picking up a gun and shooting at people that pose no threat.

Fucking wimps!

On edit: I suppose they don't see the same threat as I do. I want peace, quiet and boring. I don't want to have to worry what our law makers are doing. They just do!

[SergeStorms]

42. The sad thing is....

in Trump's diseased mind those things really did happen. He imagined walking down the hall and everyone pouring out of operating theaters, meetings, patient rounds etc. just to see him, the second coming of the Jews. He's utterly delusional and needs to be removed from office. I guess we're going to have to wait until the presidential election, because there isn't a single republican who will stand up and point out the obvious mental health issues with Trump.
