A board-certified cardiothoracic anesthesiologist from Southern California is facing federal charges over his alleged participation in the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot in support of ex-President Donald Trump.

Austin Brendlen Harris, an M.D. who runs a ketamine infusion clinic in Sherman Oaks, was captured on surveillance video inside the building, comparing Capitol police officers to Nazis, according to a federal complaint unsealed Thursday.

Another one from the Basket of Deplorables eventually heading into the Bureau of Prisons. And this man completed medical school.

1. like it

[GreenWave]

2. What a knucklehead.

Goodbye medical career!

[grantcart]

44. Nope he has multiple DUIs and still has his license.

[not fooled]

3. Wow

his twitter posts cited in the linked article read as though he is unmoored from reality. How does someone like that get through medical school? Also, maybe, "Don't get high on your own supply."

[Aristus]

10. Someone once said that you don't have to be especially smart to make it through medical school.

They're not teaching you how to be a medical miracle worker. They're just teaching you how not to kill people.

Personally speaking, there's a great deal of value in the didactic portion of medical education (Physician Assistant in my case), but the real training comes in the clinical rotations.

[C0RI0LANUS]

13. Terrific insight, thank you.

My ex-girlfriend is an RN and I think she would concur with you.

[getagrip_already]

19. Look up what ketamine is...

He may ne an MD, but ketamine infusion is not exactly mainstream...... it isn't quackery per se, but it sure isn't heart surgery.

He had already gone down a very steep offroad trail. If he was abusing ketamine, it would certainly alter his reality.

[hibbing]

4. Hope the tax cuts were worth it Doc n/t

[Demovictory9]

5. Lock him up

[Harker]

6. He must be numbstruck. n/t

[maxsolomon]

7. My uncle is a relatively wealthy Gastroenterologist

And a massive MAGAt.

Not sure if he is gullible enough to have participated in a coup. Probably too lazy to travel to DC...

[bucolic_frolic]

8. These guys make a lot of money

Don't see why he needed to do that. Not deprived at all.

[maxsolomon]

9. What is a Ketamine-Infusion Clinic?

I was not aware that was something that existed.

[Coventina]

15. It's a "woo" treatment for severe depression

The only FDA approved use of ketamine for depression is a nasal spray.

This is a place that does the ketamine in high doses via IV. It is not FDA approved.
It's a money making scheme.

[maxsolomon]

17. So, he got into medicine for the money.

Checks out for Conservatives.

Maybe I should give it a whirl - can't hurt!

[Lucky Luciano]

27. I've done ketamine recreationally 20 years ago or so.

A most interesting experience if I were to understate it.

Not saying it’s useful for depression, but to take your mind elsewhere and be out of the box…almost an out of body experience. Hard to put into words.

[Coventina]

28. It seems to "reset" the brains of people who are suicidal.

That's the effect of the nasal spray, anyway.

The infusion is mostly just a way to get high legally.

[Skittles]

32. honestly that sounds like a decent break from depression

certainly would beat electric shock treatments, ya know?

[Coventina]

36. I had a student last year who had weekly shock therapy treatments.

Until I met him, I had no idea that "therapy" still existed.

He hated getting them, but said they did help.

I suspect that he was getting them because whatever health insurance he had wouldn't pay for ketamine therapy.

[ShazzieB]

46. Unfortunately, there are people with severe depression for whom nothing else works.

When you run out of drugs to try, electroconvulsive therapy may be the only thing left. And the way it's done today (under sedation) is very safe compared to the "old days."

[carpetbagger]

45. Ketamine vs ect.

Ketamine is less effective in head to head trials, but like you said, a good break.

[SergeStorms]

11. So that's why all the J6ers were blacking out! 😳

I'd better shut up. One (or more) might tie this in with their claims of "blacking out" and not remembering their actions during the violent insurrection.

These jackasses will try anything to escape responsibility for their actions. They'd better keep an eye on this idiot. He's liable to anesthesize himself out of this world.

[Hekate]

12. As I've said before: Trumpism is not confined to the poor & downtrodden *at all* ...

Ever since moving into this neighborhood 5 years ago and experiencing the monstrous Trump banners on the house of an orthopedic surgeon — and after January 6, he had two flagpoles worth of crappy disfigured US flags and MAGA flags on display at his house for months — I knew that laying it all on the poor and uneducated was completely bogus.

Such are the attractions of fascism that apparently anybody can be sucked in.

At least the neighbor finally cleaned everything up, and now has a plain American flag on display. But we know what he is.

[Coventina]

14. This guy runs a "woo" clinic of non FDA approved treatment.

It's a money making scheme.

No wonder he's a MAGAt.

[paleotn]

18. Ah, that makes sense. It all becomes clearer now.

[paleotn]

16. Completed medical school? So did Ben Carson.

I guess you find nutters in any vocation.

[Marcuse]

33. Oz, Strauss, Mengele, DeSantis' quack, etc.

[niyad]

41. ronny jackson. the quack who wrote ketchup's "bone sour" deferment. the idiot

ketchup supporter who believes demons are mating with humans. deborah birx since she allied with ketchup.

[AllyCat]

39. Don't forget Rand Paul

[Skittles]

20. WTF

I would not trust this doctor, I mean, WHAT OTHER BAD DECISIONS DOES HE MAKE

[Joe Cool]

22. DUI and erratic behavior

[Skittles]

31. aw, no

see, no......absolutely not - not acceptable behavior for a doctor, not at ALL

[Joe Cool]

21. He's been disciplined by the CA medical board for DUI and eratic behavior.

[Cha]

23. Wonder how Much he Sweated

seeing all the other Domestic Terrorists getting Caught and Sentenced?

Would his day come? Why yes it did.

And, the GD Idiot tried to blame in on Antifa! And, posted his Terrorist pic on FB!!

So his ex pal helped him out and reported it to the FBI!

Oh and...

"I am safe here in DC,” continued Harris, who in 2021 was disciplined by state medical authorities for multiple DUIs and erratic behavior at work.

dt has "all the best people".. "Be best" as his zombie spouse said.

[LiberalLovinLug]

24. Gee its funny how no one has yet to find out who is their leader. Who inspired them.

Its great to see how these traitors are being prosecuted during the last year.

But funny how the guy they keep saying made them do it is actually running for President, holding rallies, and recently was reinstated on Facebook and Instagram, as well as Twitter. And is still fomenting the Big Lie.

The AG office is a joke

[NCjack]

25. "A board-certified cardiothoracic anesthesiologist". I suspect that is

in short supply in prison hospitals and will be much appreciated.

[FakeNoose]

26. I'm not in the medical field, however I've read that anesthesiologists are especially likely

... to get hooked on drugs because of their profession. Is this true? I don't know, but the rumors are rampant.

[calimary]

29. Just desserts.

[Evolve Dammit]

30. Just shows that assholes exist at all levels, all the way to POTUS.

[truthisfreedom]

35. Well, at least he's out of the operating room.

[czarjak]

37. I don't think I want him working on me.

[twodogsbarking]

38. What's up doc?

[patphil]

40. Hillary's "basket full of deplorables" is more like a full sized demolition dumpster.

She saw those Republicans as they truly were, and still are.

[COL Mustard]

42. Remeber that 50% of doctors graduated in the bottom half of their class

This guy may have been one of them!

[flying_wahini]

43. Surely one of the kooks has enough brain power to get the message out that tfg suckered them all.

That’s the message that needs to ripple thru MAGA sites so they will turn on tfg.

[PlanetBev]

47. Too bad he's from the San Fernando Valley

Valley Boy gone bad. We’ve got these weirdos too.
