1. The hardest thing for me to imagine about him is that

he's a distant cousin of President Obama. He hates President Obama while at same time, delightfully appreciated that Obama called his cousin a good man.

[Rozlee]

3. Cheney's a distant cousin of Obama. I guess bad seeds crop up from time to time.

We can only thank gawd when a good one like Obama pops up.

[George II]

8. Well, I guess in that family being the "black" sheep is a good thing, it's the white sheep...

....that are embarrassments!

[Rozlee]

21. *spittake*

[geardaddy]

2. Revoke his license

and the victim's families should sue.

[SunSeeker]

4. The family should sue him for intentional infliction of emotional distress.

And the medical board should yank his license. What a reprehensible creep.

[wordpix]

53. also for making public the victim's private med records

YANK IT.

[lunasun]

5. HIPPA? did he have permission or acquire the Xrays before the law?

Drs like him are why we have the law today!!!!

[AAO]

16. If the victims next of spouse/next of kin didn't give permission

then it is a HIPAA voilation and he should lose his license and be prosecuted to the full letter of the law.

[noiretextatique]

23. absolutely

a total violation of HIPAA. what an idiot.

[66 dmhlt]

54. As a physician, I'd like to think so - BUT ...

Unless there is some way to identify the patient, it's probably NOT a HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability & Accountability Act) violation.

That said, one of the x-rays he posted DID include coding information about the patient, which could possibly lead to him/her being identified.

But I'm sure he will face some kind of disciplinary action, because even if it's not a HIPAA violation, his comments are clearly unethical.

[packman]

6. While I appreciate

the fact that seeing the horrors he sees on a daily basis has probably hardened him to the violence, blood and gore - there is no excuse for this. Guy needs to take a break and get some help. He certainly DOES NOT need to run for an public office because he obviously has lost all objectivity.

[ut oh]

42. and compasion

eom

[Iggo]

7. Looks like a poster for a Ted Bundy movie starring Paul Le Mat.

[Aldo Leopold]

15. Ha, just saw this after posting below!

[Iggo]

26. Dude's got Bundy's psycho-smile down pat.

[mahatmakanejeeves]

9. Milton Wolf is interviewed by reporter for the Topeka Capital-Journal

Doctor's X-ray postings unsettling

Wow. You won't believe what a weasel Milton Wolf is.

Obviously, I apologize to weasels for associating them with Milton Wolf.

[Ned_Devine]

30. Great Interview!

I actually sent that interviewer a linkedin request.

[passiveporcupine]

33. This man has some serious issues and I'm glad this has come to light.

In a separate Facebook comment, Wolf wrote that an X-ray of a man decapitated by gunfire resembled a wounded alien in a “Terminator” film and that the image offered evidence people “find beauty in different things.”

This was one of his more "telling" comments. This and the one about wanting to buy a gun that can blow someone's head off.

[quakerboy]

45. On the one hand, I completely agree with the overall sentiment

I dont know how privacy law relates post death or with autopsie xrays, but its freakish and the guy clearly has some issues that should make him ineligible for practicing medicine, and definitely ought to throw an immediate stop to anyone wanting to vote for him, outside of maybe a few death fetish types.

But I have a hard time taking the article seriously after reading your excerpt. There were no aliens in terminator. That's a pretty basic mistake to make.

I also dont feel a great need to jump in the middle of R on R violence. My first thought when they said candidate from Kansas was "I wonder if he's running against that senator that doesnt even have a home in his state". Turns out, yup. Let them batter each other, and maybe Kansas will look through the veil and decide neither of them is a good choice for their state.

[passiveporcupine]

46. I could give a shit whether there were aliens in Terminator or not

the point of his statement that sickens me is the "people find beauty in different things"...like watching someone's head getting blown to bits could possibly...in any way...be considered "beautiful".

The man is sick and the fact that this is coming to light just might help some voters to decide to switch parties rather than put someone like this in a government role.

[Captain Stern]

50. That quote stood out to me also.

Interestingly enough, he also said earlier that his posting of the images served to "demonstrate evil lurking in the world".

I'd say he demonstrated that quite clearly....just not quite the way he intended.

[mikeysnot]

10. And they wonder why we call them gun nuts.

[oldandhappy]

11. gross

inexcusable
I do not live close enough to boycott him!

[Glaisne]

12. Yet even more evidence

that conservatives are scum of the earth.

[Ikonoklast]

13. Empathy is a foreign country never visited by Republicans.

The suffering of others gives them great joy.

[lunasun]

38. +1 I agree with you on that

[Aldo Leopold]

14. Ted Bundy eyes.

He was also a republican, by the way.

[Triana]

17. This guy needs to be in a padded cell. Psychopath. n/t

[AAO]

18. Milton Wolf - and I quote:

"I'm not going to play these kinds of gotcha games," he said.

Oh, right, he was setup. Damn you Obama!!!!

Oh and another: “The attack will not only target me,” Wolf said, “but will, through its implications, cast a wider net to vilify all doctors.”

No, Milty, just you, you moron douchenozzle.

[Initech]

19. Holy crap! What an absolute psychopath!

[xxqqqzme]

20. Please a sane

person in Kansas, tell me this idiot will not be elected. We do not need more pauls or cruzes.

[Coyotl]

22. Out of touch.

[BainsBane]

24. Great. Another sociopath in the Senate

Just what we need.

[dhill926]

25. seriously sick shit….

[stg81]

27. all life is sacred…when while the tea party realize we know they don't believe that?

[Bernardo de La Paz]

28. Charge him, try, convict, sentence, imprison him for violating privacy. Strip his board

Charge him, try, convict, sentence, imprison him for violating privacy.

Strip his board certification for violating medical ethics.

[marble falls]

29. If he can see nothing with this he isn't qualified for a seat.

[JimDandy]

31. Simply horrifying. n/t

[locdlib]

32. Seriously though this is a huge HIPAA violation.

I work in the medical field and we are constantly reminded and mindful of HIPAA rules and regulations. If anyone else did this, they would be fired immediately. Are doctors/administrators not required to follow rules and regulations? This idiot's license needed to be revoked on the spot, and if the facility that he provides services for doesn't get on this, they could also face all kinds of backlash.

[bvf]

35. Important point.

I worked in IT for a number of public schools for years and we were bound by basically the same kind of privacy regulations. Agreed 100%, he's definitely putting a lot of people at legal risk and they should get on that.

Who the hell would vote for someone like this? Wait, I know...

[TuxedoKat]

57. That was my first thought

After thinking how dare he violate someone's privacy like that, even if they are deceased. I hope he is censured, fined and gets whatever other penalties might apply.

[bvf]

34. This man is a sick ghoul and obviously requires professional attention. eom

[niyad]

36. his wolf for senate contact page:

Email: [e-mail]

Phone: [phone]

[niyad]

37. can the medical people on this board tell me whether it is even likely that he actually trained

at all the places listed in this bio:

(ladies, note that he practices mammography-=-PLEASE do not go anywhere near him!!)



Milton was born and raised in Lyons, a small farming community in central Kansas.

He graduated from the University of Kansas and attended the University of Kansas School of Medicine. There Milton became one of the top medical students in the nation. As only a third year medical student, he was inducted into the Alpha Omega Alpha Honor Medical Society. Dr. Wolf completed his residency in diagnostic radiology at the University of Missouri at Kansas City which included training at Saint Luke’s Hospital, Truman Medical Center and Children’s Mercy Hospital. Dr. Wolf also trained at the Veteran Affairs Medical Center and the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology at the Walter Reed Army Medical Center.

Dr. Wolf currently serves Kansas families by practicing diagnostic radiology including mammography in Kansas City. He has also traveled Kansas and cared for families in Hays, Pratt, Ellsworth, Great Bend, Hutchinson and McPherson.

Dr. Wolf became an outspoken critic of ObamaCare from the very beginning. His book First Do No Harm: The President’s Cousin Explains Why His Hippocratic Oath Requires Him to Oppose ObamaCare exposed the horrors of the president’s health-care overhaul and provided common sense free-market health-care reforms that put patients first rather than politicians. He has traveled the country speaking out and has appeared on news shows including Fox and Friends and Hannity. Until recently, he wrote a conservative column for the national newspaper The Washington Times.

Milton is a doctor, not a politician. He has never run for political office. He rejects the idea of career politicians and shares our Founding Fathers’ vision of a citizen legislature where Americans bring their experiences, serve for a short time and then return home to live under the laws they helped to create. Milton believes America must re-embrace the Constitution and the divinely-inspired American Idea of individual liberty, limited government and free-market values.

40. Um...uh...ahem...wow. The GOP has really gone off the rails!

[gtar100]

41. Off the rails.

The repugs are getting more obnoxious by the day. This guy is just disgusting and mentally ill, like so many of them. They've been hating on liberals and Democrats with no sound reasoning for so long they are breaking down into psychotic behaviors like this. I say that because this goes beyond simply bad judgment.

[yuiyoshida]

43. SMH....

Classless Republicans. Do they think they are funny?? They are not. They are pathetic.

[Matariki]

44. Speaking of movie references

I think that Republicans should be subjected to that replicant empathy test from Blade Runner.

[another_liberal]

47. Moses in a rowboat! Is this guy certifiably nuts, or what?

This candidacy has to be a new low, even for the Republican party (even for the Republican party in Kansas).

[stage left]

48. Creepy

Pure evil staring out of those dead, black eyes. And he's got the classic Republican smirk instead of a smile.

[MADem]

49. Creepy little shit; kinda like the jerks who get their jollies looking at TSA scans. nt

[merrily]

51. How could a doctor aspire to blow someone's head off?

I will never understand these people.

[pinto]

52. Illegal, violation of license and HIPPA, unethical.

Pathetic.

[JackInGreen]

55. I'm probably going to get flamed for this

but I've known several MEs and Coroners, and I don't see a lot wrong with his interest or opinion.....BUT, I'm also a morbid SOB, so...there's that.

[niyad]

56. you are missing a serious point here--WHERe did he get those pics?? he did not have the permission

of the families to post them, so he is in violation of HIPAA. he can have whatever opinions he likes, but he cannot violate the laws. his license should be yanked immediately.
