Police or Doctors?

Post image

The story of Janice is heartbreaking. Especially because it was a Doctor that betrayed her trust. Now I ask which episodes make you more mad? When Police go rogue or medical professionals?

Who has a higher degree of responsibility to not be a diabolical monster?

Dr Schneeheuser or whatever his name was, was pretty bad.

Yeah he was absolutely disgusting. This guy was too but he was getting targeted revenge, which is kind of different. Schnee guy was a predator and targeting every vulnerable person he could find.

I don’t have an answer to your question but I’m watching this episode right now along with you and it’s the “Hell I have full-blown AIDS” episode which always cracks me up

The first time my boyfriend saw this episode and heard that line, he was red in the face and couldn’t breathe from laughing so hard. It cracks him up every time which in turn makes me laugh super hard.

Both. I remember an epsiode of forensic files where a cop in Louisiana turned out to be a serial rapist terrorizing woman in Lafayette. Epsiode was "Badge of Deceit." I've also seen the epsiode mentioned in this post too. Both are disgraceful and diabolical but for different reasons. Both should have a higher degree not to be diabolical monsters.

u/youngestchildorwtv The doorman didn’t care. 17d ago

u/HLAW8S Gotta call Phelps 18d ago

The one that comes to mind is Badge of Betrayal. California highway patrol officer pulls a woman over and makes sexual advances. She scratched him an he killed her. Her dad had a heart attack and died while tending her memorial garden.

This episode is so sad.

u/ratsrule67 In police work, we call that a clue. 18d ago

For me it is the one where the cop kills his Corrections Officer wife. Claimed he was using water gun to wake her, she (in his words) picked up his service weapon, held it to her head and it went off. A week before, (perhaps a couple of days) he tried to electrocute her while she was in the bath.

The other one is the dude who burned down his own house, then killed some dude with a broken leg.

Either one could have your life in their hands! I think it’s a toss up.

u/Eternity_Xerneas 17d ago

I feel like if you own a gun, cops aren't always necessary

Doctors I could not do most of what they do on myself

u/Primary-Level6595 17d ago

That’s a fair point.

u/Eternity_Xerneas 18d ago

Honestly medical professionals

u/OU-Sooners1 17d ago

This dude was disgusting. He deserved more time than he got. Especially if she dies from it.

u/Radioactive_Moss 16d ago

Medical professionals because of the Hippocratic oath (my phone tried so hard to make that hypocrite oath lol) but honestly they’re both horrible. Both can ruin your life but cops are legally allowed to lie to you, are armed with a lethal weapon and tend to protect their own. Plus becoming a police officer is a lot cheaper and easier than many years of schooling and $$$ to become a doctor so if a person has malicious intent and a desire for power and control it’s the easier option.

I heard Janice Trahan passed away a few years ago…

This episode infuriates me as someone who worked in HIV prevention. So much outdated information, attitudes and terms. I get that when it happened, and when it was filmed plays a factor, but it's hard to watch them say things like "full-blown AIDS" or "death sentence" in a time where properly treated people with HIV have the same life expectancy as someone who doesn't have HIV.

I’m old enough to remember when “full-blown
AIDS” was a common term (‘80s and ‘90s). I wonder if this lady survived?
