One of America's most prestigious cancer hospitals is embroiled in a bullying scandal that has culminated in staff members requiring emergency mental health treatment, DailyMail.com can reveal.
Insiders have described the culture at MD Anderson Cancer Center in Texas as 'toxic' and 'abusive', with senior doctors in charge likened to 'the Mafia' who 'tamper' with potentially life-saving research.
So severe is the situation, a top scientist at the center is currently battling a lawsuit over allegations that she plagiarized research conducted at the institution.
Daily Mail has learned of staggering incidences of staff maltreatment - including verbal abuse, including threatening statements that have landed people in hospital emergency rooms with panic attacks.
At the center of the scandal is the 'Queen Bee' of the institution, immuno-oncologist Dr Padmanee Sharma, who is a towering figure in the world of immunotherapy research. But behind the scenes she is said to enjoy a reign of terror.

Stereotypes exist for a reason.
Docs treating people who work with them like shit? Catch me while I faint from surprise.
And that stuff rolls downhill.
It is all usually out of the view of the patients, but when you are on the inside it happens all the time. Surgeons are the worst.
btw, if you want to see real abuse you can look at the restaurant industry.
The Bear gives me anxiety just watching it. It seems what they show is representative.
I have been watching some MasterChef shows from other countries. These are old episodes. When you look up the Judges and experts who participate you will see over and over again where they have had scandals for the way they treat staff and underpay. Many have had to close down.
If your from Australia Shannon Bennett looks like he got booted out of Vue De Monde. Sold his interest.
High-caste soaked in India’s cheating culture goes nuts on all the lesser non-humans she has to work with. How extraordinarily usual.
And for your foodies, the Great Marco Pierre White who made Gordon Ramsay cry can be seen in this clip...and so can a young Gordon.

Unfortunately, the medical field is replete with megalomaniacs who really believe they are better than everyone else and irreplaceable. I worked with a doctor like this back in the 1980’s. He treated his staff like chattel.
My daughter is a registered nurse. She and her fellow nurses know who the prima donna’s are and who are not.
I remember a few years ago an Indian researcher at MD Anderson was investigated for submitting false data by the 2 Indian lab assistants who worked under him. He treated them like indentured servants making them work 7 days a week and 10-12 hours a day so they blew him in.
Usually these are not the best physicians - though they likely think they are. There is absolutely not enough time in life to be a great physician and also be a self-promoting megalomaniac. Most of the megalomaniacs essentially suck - which is why you see so many pinhead clinicians in academics.
18 years ago I was diagnosed with stage four melanoma. I had decided that if surgery wouldn’t take care of it (it did) I would go to MD Anderson since I was told that they were the only hospital who could treat melanoma successfully. I did have the surgery, took the PET scan and was declared cured. I’m glad that I didn’t go. Sounds awful.
It would be interesting to know what percentage of Doctors are narcissists.
Huh?
You mean, she felt upset because she was yelled at?
And that requires "emergency" treatment?
I worked on the research side of things back in the day, at MD Anderson, among other places. My boss there was one who would sneak up behind you, put his hands on your back, peer over your shoulder and pretend to look at the work in front of you, but really be looking down your blouse. Oh, and he plagiarized his work. I quit after two months. I wasn’t his first female lab tech he did this with. Probably wasn’t his last. HR was catching on, though. Too little too late.
80-90% is my guess. I’ve worked with tons. There are few that I actually respect.
Talking about Australia 🇦🇺
Look up Pete Evans. Supernice guy, friend, great chef and a BIG Trump supporter. :)
It happens

Put ALL your faith in the Great Physician, Jesus Christ. He is our healer. The medical system is run by satan.
