Physician Motorist Vs. Bicycle Incident Deemed 'Road Rage

Physician Motorist Vs. Bicycle Incident Deemed 'Road Rage – Los Angeles

The original story is posted here, but the driver of the car was identified as a physician who pulled in front of the bicyclists and put on the brakes as they were apparently in his way. After the incident the driver identified himself as a physician. This story is almost unbelievable, as one wonders what lead up to this type of action. Was there something else on his mind that distracted his judgment? This happened during an annual cycling event with the physician continuing the rant after the incident of telling them to get off the road. The cyclist was taken to the hospital via ambulance.

Last month there was the incident in Cypress with the physician getting into an altercation at a Costco gas station and recent articles were published talking about physician bullying. Are fuses running this short with additional job pressures and heavier workloads carried today? BD

Regarding the incident reported this morning where a one Dr. Christopher Thompson*, a 58-year-old emergency room physician and resident of the Mandeville Canyon neighborhood, was involved in an alleged road rage incident between two bicyclists, Christian Stoehr and Ron Peterson, on Mandeville Canyon Rd. in Brentwood, there have been some updates.
