Minn. High Court Dumps Do...From: The Unruly Of Law<br /><br />Minn. High Court Dumps Doc's 'Tool' Libel Claim<br /> <br />In his 13-page decision in David McKee, M.D. v. Dennis K. Laurion (Docket No. A11-1154), Minnesota Supreme Court Justice Alan Page reversed a court of appeals ruling and sided with the trial court that originally dismissed a neurologist's defamation claim against the son of a stroke patient he treated who had posted negative remarks about the plaintiff on a rate-your-physician Web site.<br /><br />The Minnesota High Court heard oral arguments four months ago (see "TUOL" post 9/5/12) in the case brought by Dr. McKee of Northland Neurology & Myology in Duluth against the son of a 65-year-old stroke patient he treated concerning a half-dozen allegedly actionable statements reflecting the son's dissatisfaction with the medical care provided and his belief that Dr. McKee was rude and insensitive.<br /><br />The lightning rod among the allegedly offensive statements was a post by the defendant that said: "When I mentioned Dr. McKee's name to a friend who is a nurse, she said, 'Dr. McKee is a real tool!'" "Referring to someone as 'a real tool' falls into the category of pure opinion," Justice Page wrote, "because the term 'real tool' cannot be reasonably interpreted as stating a fact and it cannot be proven true or false." Characterizing the remark as "rhetorical hyperbole" and "mere vituperation or abuse," Justice Page said it could not support a defamation action as a matter of law.<br /><br />The devoted "TUOL" staff supports the Minnesota Supreme Court's decision and the principle that pure opinion is not susceptible to a defamatory meaning, but questions whether bringing a lawsuit such as the one at issue in the first place is sufficient proof of "tooldom" in and of itself.<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10358766982559286318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24021163.post-855782557689724412012-02-11T12:53:36.679-06:002012-02-11T12:53:36.679-06:00I see these posts are pretty old, but I must say y...I see these posts are pretty old, but I must say you docs are sure immature.<br /><br />Although, I am LMAO, so I guess I am too. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24021163.post-53116732896245249652010-05-30T03:07:05.914-05:002010-05-30T03:07:05.914-05:00Okay I know this is more than 2 years after this w...Okay I know this is more than 2 years after this was posted, but I had to say that this is hilarious!

Of course they sort of showed they weren't real doctors by insisting we do every possible test. The Hemmocult cards were kept behind the Nursing station. One morning, a student came out of a room, apparently with a smidgen of stool on his gloved finger, in search of the hemmocult card he had neglected to take in the room. Not being to find the card, he turned to a fellow student, a particularly frigid female, and asked if she thought it looked heme positive. When she failed to answer he stuck the finger in his mouth and said, "negative" as she scurried away horrified. Of course, it was chocolate, not stool. I see her occasionally, still a frigid bitch, just older. She still thinks my friend ate shit to freak her out.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24021163.post-17793636526186770072008-02-13T06:11:00.000-06:002008-02-13T06:11:00.000-06:00We have all kinds Dr. Butts, a Dr. Hand and a Dr. ...We have all kinds Dr. Butts, a Dr. Hand and a Dr. Dimple.
