According to the Florida Board of Medicine, Dr. Ishwari Prasad couldn’t hear the patients yelling in pain because he wasn’t wearing his hearing aids. He’s not allowed to perform colonoscopies for now.

    Even if the doctor couldn’t hear, couldn’t they see or feel the patient moving in pain?

      The person may have been sedated enough to not be able to move but was able to feel pain and even get out a “scream.”

      Yeah, this more reads like he was not even in the room and they used the hearing aid schtick as an excuse to make it less bad.
