Police in Florida are looking into a doctor who yelled at a sick woman after she raised questions about the length of her wait before being seen.
Video of the incident was posted to Facebook on Monday by Jessica Stipe, the woman who was the victim of the man's ire.
The doctor, identified as Dr. Peter Gallogly of Gainesville After Hours Clinic, curses at Stipe in the middle of the waiting room in the clip, which was recorded by Stipe's daughter.
"Are you kidding me?" Gallogly is heard asking Stipe as she wonders why she hasn't been taken to an exam room more than an hour after her scheduled appointment.
Gallogly tells Stipe that he's already run a urine test on her before rhetorically asking her, "Does that take 3 seconds, you think?"
After a heated exchange, Gallogly then asks Stipe, "Do you wanna be seen or not?"
"I want to go home and get in my bed—" Stipe replies before being cut off.
"Then, fine, get the hell out," the doctor replies, pointing toward the door.
After a few more seconds and further arguing, Gollogly gets close to Stipe and says, "Get the f--- out of my office," as he leads her out the front door.
At the end of the minute-long clip, Stipe's daughter — who is a minor, according to Stipe — remarks that she's been recording the whole thing. At that point, Gollogly grabs the girl's phone and walks away with it before the video ends.
Stipe's video of the entire incident has been viewed more than 373,000 times on Facebook since Monday, as of Thursday afternoon.
In her Facebook post, Stipe said she spoke with Gainesville police but that they weren't able to press charges because there were no injuries. But on Wednesday, The Gainseville Sun reported that Gollogly was being investigated but it was unclear what the charges may be.
Stipe told WCJB-TV that she's considering filing a lawsuit against the clinic.
