If you can stomach it...Rand Paul on Fox now.

[progressoid]

Somebody here was wondering what he would say.

So far he's blaming paranoid schizophrenia.

[stray cat]

1. From the posts the murderer posted he may be right

[Pholus]

5. Well considering he hired "Mr. Boot in the Face" he *is* an expert at these kinds of things. nt

[spanone]

2. i'll bet they are referring to him as doctor paul

[Barack_America]

3. This guy is an MD and he's diagnosing people without having evaluated them?

Talk about a breach of ethics.

[Dappleganger]

4. I blame people who call themselves doctors who really aren't.

[progressoid]

6. Why not. Bill Frist did it too

And then made legislation based on it. :eyes:

[AC_Mem]

7. I thought he was an eye doctor

and is he even board certified?

[Barack_America]

8. Ophthalmologists are MDs. He graduated from Duke.

I don't know if he is board certified to practice in that specialty though.

In any case, diagnosing someone as an MD without evaluating them is a violation of ethics.

[JVS]

13. IIRC Rand Paul refuses to become board certified because he opposes regulation.

[Barack_America]

14. That's awesome.

:rofl:

[pokerfan]

21. He's certified

by a board he created in 1999 with himself as president and his wife as vice-president.

:rofl:

[bbinacan]

9. He's an opthalmologist and got his MD

from Duke University.

[Angry Dragon]

10. He is an eye doctor

[Barack_America]

11. He is still an MD. He's an ophthalmologist not an optometrist. nt

[AlabamaLibrul]

12. He's a fucking eye doctor, anyway. Do they generally keep a DSM around?

[Barack_America]

15. He's probably working off the DSM-I.

:rofl:

[Doctor_J]

16. Jesus christ

If you people MUST watch Fox, please don't brag about your mental disorder here.

[Duer 157099]

17. Wow a whole thread about Paul being an eye doctor

No discussion of the content at all?

[Barack_America]

18. You can't diagnose someone with paranoid schizophrenia without evaluating them.

MD or not.

As such, Paul's comments are worthless. There is no "content" to his remarks.

[proud2BlibKansan]

19. Bill Frist must be his role model

[cbc5g]

20. Can anyone here, reading his writings, actually consider him sane?

The guy obviously is paranoid schizo or wasn't taking his meds or should have been on meds. It seems like a failure of his doctors/parents to me.

[Barack_America]

22. If was able to meticulously plan and carry out this attack, knowing full well it was wrong...

...he could very well be ruled sane in a court of law.

And so far from what we know, there is evidence supporting each of these things.
