UPDATE: As posted earlier this week, the conflict between the motorist and bicyclists leaves the former ER physician with the potential of up to 7 or 8 months in prison if convicted. Also of note, he was no longer practicing in the ER, but is listed as one of the partners of an electronic medical records company, Touch Medix in the Los Angeles area. In addition to road rage there’s also the ongoing cases too of desk rage, so rage seems to be on the run with current economic times taking it’s toll on many, think about taking a time out here and there if possible. These are rocky and stressful times for all, especially in healthcare. BD 
LOS ANGELES - A former emergency room doctor was charged with reckless driving and other felonies Friday for a crash that seriously injured two bicyclists on a Brentwood canyon road. Prosecutors contend that Dr. Christopher Thompson, 59, had argued with bikers who were crossing his path on a narrow road and pulled in front of them before slamming on his brakes on Mandeville Canyon Road. One biker went through the rear window of Thompson's Infiniti sedan. He suffered broken teeth, facial cuts and a broken nose that was nearly severed, according to a statement from the Los Angeles County district attorney's office.
