This surgeon is being sued after making rap videos, while illegally operating on her patients
More under this adBeing a surgeon is one of the most challenging and therefore stressful jobs in the world. While performing surgery, some doctors will listen to soothing music to maintain the calmest environment possible. However, Dr Windell Boutte from Lilburn, Georgia in the US, is probably THE biggest exception to that.
In the US, the privatised medical system gives way to a whole new market of medical professionals, all offering their services in private and costly medical practice.

The videos that were uncovered certainly make for interesting viewing. In several of them, Boutte can be seen rapping along to popular rap music whilst her patients lie unconscious on the operating table.
