Brickbat: Bad Medicine

For 21 years, co-workers at the U.S. Indian Health Service (IHS) reported concerns about Dr. Stanley Patrick Weber's behavior towards young boys, and for 21 years the IHS responded by moving him to different clinics and different reservations. Weber was recently sentenced to five consecutive life sentences in prison, after being convicted last year for sexually abusing six boys on two reservations. But the IHS is refusing to release a report it commissioned that identifies the specific officials who mishandled the allegations against Weber. PBS reports that those who have seen the report say it shows that concerns about Weber "spread more widely across the agency earlier than previously known."

...those who have seen the report say it shows that concerns about Weber "spread more widely across the agency earlier than previously known."

I'm sure the service can't possibly afford to lose so many valuable executives.

They were concerned, but didn't want to venture into the bureaucratic process for termination.

"Don we now our gay apparel!"

Apparently "gay apparel" now includes a doctor's white lab coat, complete with the iconic stethoscope! Who knew?

Also, is this a case of "Indian giving"? That which he gives to the young Indian boys, does he expect it back?

Like the church and the Boy Scouts, I look forward to the victims and their lawyers suing the government into bankruptcy.

It's already bankrupt!

I have Klickitat relatives who live on the Rock Creek Rez. The entire BIA is massively corrupt, all the way down to the reason for its existence. They exist to collect a paycheck and control the lives of others, with the support of tribal leaders.

Any AmerIndian who stays on a Reservation is tied to a system of corruption where treaties were broken and then the control by money started.

The whole system is designed as the welfare state within a state that Black Americans fell into after the Civil War.

My family tries to get others to leave and make their lives outside the Reservation and many won't leave. It's all they have ever known.

It’s a fairly simple song, but Red Crow cuts to the heart of it.

Nothing like fucking AmerIndians some more.

I always ask, where were the parents?

[Brandybuck]

So it's not just the Catholic Church? But government too? Does not match the narrative...

Along with thinner fingers, this is another reason to only use female doctors.
