Doctor kills another Doctor at Yale

New York (CNN) -- A former colleague accused of murdering a Yale University doctor carried a grudge -- along with a wig, handguns and approximately 1,000 rounds of ammunition when he was arrested, police said....

Lishan Wang, 44, was charged this week with the murder of Dr. Vajinder Toor and the attempted murder of Toor's wife. Toor, who worked in the infectious disease branch of Yale New Haven Hospital, was gunned down Monday morning outside his home in Branford, Connecticut...

Yale was not the connection between Wang and Toor, however. They previously worked together at Kingsbrook Jewish Medical Center in New York City.
The Brooklyn hospital fired Wang in 2008 after a confrontation with Toor, according to a police report and civil court records. Wang then sued the medical center, alleging discrimination against him.
In his federal lawsuit, Wang said supervisors and other doctors humiliated and harassed him because he is Chinese.
He also said that a hospital committee unfairly labeled him as "excitable, emotional, and unable to control his anger," and that the human resources department falsely characterized him as "mentally impaired and suffering from anger issues."
Wang alleged in his lawsuit that Toor, who was the chief resident for the Department of Medicine, had accused him of ignoring pages and calls from hospital staff. The two men then "engaged in a heated discussion," with Toor accusing Wang of "threatening his safety by using hostile body language," according to the suit.
Wang was suspended without pay pending an investigation. He said in his court papers that the hospital would fire him if he did not seek "disability leave for mental impairment." Wang said he refused to "feign impairment for the sake of saving his job." He was terminated in July 2008.

Apparently Toor did have something to fear from this man! We had a resident at my hospital that made a list of the people he wanted to kill. He ended up escorted from the hospital by police. It's rather scary. I feel for Dr. Toor's family. What a shame!

um.

whoa.

1000 rounds? Wanted to make sure they stayed dead ?

just a little crazy?

Or, possibly and even more frightening, he had additional people in mind?

Pay attention, be careful, be safe.

You know, back in the day when that resident made the list at LSU, I wondered if my name was on it. He actually had applied for my radiology residency spot. He knew he was not going to be picked up for another year in the surgery department and was hoping to switch over to radiology. When he heard I got the radiology slot, he actually called me where I was working, 100 miles away in a sister hospital, to accuse me of "stealing his spot." I figured the police would have a duty to inform me if my name was on the list, and I never heard anything. Hmmm...

My daddy would like that!:rolleyes: My husband, however, knows that if we had a gun, I'd get mad and shoot him but be really sorry later!;)

Scary. I know with those HS "hitlists" that kids made, the teachers always told the student and their parents. I would think it applies in this case too?

I'd hope! It's been at least 7 years now, and I have no idea what became of the guy. Mostly I remember he had an issue with bathing!:p
