"Making World Better Place” for Women Doesn’t Include Banging on Their Doors in the Middle of the Night
PHOENIX – Democrat Richard Carmona unveiled two new ads today, intended to mitigate the impact of his confrontational history toward others, especially women.
"Dr. Carmona's new ads don’t absolve him of his troubled past dealing with people, particularly women,” said Andrew Wilder, communications director for Jeff Flake for Senate. "We don't think making ‘the world a better place’ includes beating on someone’s door in the middle of the night.”
Background on Richard Carmona’s History of Confrontation
Dr. Cristina Beato Testified To Congress In 2007 About An Incident In Which She Felt Threatened By Richard Carmona
During His Surgeon General Tenure, Carmona’s Boss, Cristina Beato, Alleged That He"Banged On Her Door And Yelled At Her In The Middle Of The Night.”"But behind the scenes, his former boss Cristina Beato — a onetime supporter turned bitter enemy — was painting a very different picture of Carmona for House investigators, alleging that an angry Carmona twice banged on her door and yelled at her in the middle of the night after workplace disputes.” (John Bresnahan and Manu Raju,"Richard Carmona Draws Fire From Another Former Boss,” Politico, 5/21/12)
With Her Two Children Inside, Beato"Refused To Open The Door Because She Was Frightened Of His Behavior.”"Beato’s most eye-opening accusation involves two incidents in which she says Carmona banged on her door at her house in the middle of the night, screaming at her over issues the two disagreed on. Beato, a single mother with two children, said she refused toopen the door because she was frightened of his behavior. The two lived in the same neighborhood on the National Institute of Health campus at the time.” (John Bresnahan and Manu Raju,"Richard Carmona Draws Fire From Another Former Boss,” Politico, 5/21/12)
"‘I Think Any Normal Woman, When Somebody Comes In At Midnight Demanding And Raising Their Voice, Would Feel Threatened,’ Beato Said In The Interview.” (John Bresnahan and Manu Raju,"Richard Carmona Draws Fire From Another Former Boss,” Politico, 5/21/12)
Beato Alleged Carmona Was An"Extremely Angry” Person And A"Living Nightmare” To Work With."Beato gave her testimony in secret in 2007, saying Carmona was an ‘extremely angry’ person, a ‘living nightmare’ to work with, had trouble working for a female supervisor and abused travel privileges by improperly billing taxpayers for some personal expenses, according to the testimony. When POLITICO contacted Beato recently, she confirmed her testimony and reiterated her accusations on the record, five years after she originally gave them to the House committee.” (John Bresnahan and Manu Raju,"Richard Carmona Draws Fire From Another Former Boss,” Politico, 5/21/12)
Carmona Declined Interviews On The Matter. "Carmona declined several interview requests for this story, but campaign aides furiously denied the allegations.” (John Bresnahan and Manu Raju,"Richard Carmona Draws Fire From Another Former Boss,” Politico, 5/21/12)
Carmona Was Accused Of Having A Serious Problem With Women In The Workplace
Dr. Cristina Beato:"Dr. Carmona Also Had A Very Difficult Time Having A Female Hispanic Supervisor. He And I, BehindClosed Doors, Clashed Frequently. I Would Never Do This In Public, But He Insulted Me. He Tried To Belittle Me.” DR. CRISTINA BEATO:"Dr. Carmona was very, very brilliant, and he worked very hard. Dr. Carmona also had a very difficult time having a female Hispanic supervisor. He and I, behind closed doors, clashed frequently. I would never do this in public, but he insulted me. He tried to belittle me.” (Committee On Oversight And Government Reform, U.S. House Of Representatives, Testimony Of Cristina Beato, 11/2/07, Page 45)
Dr. Cristina Beato:"I Experienced Sexism From Him.” (Committee On Oversight And Government Reform, U.S. House Of Representatives, Testimony Of Cristina Beato, 11/2/07, Page 45)
Dr. Cristina Beato:"He Was An Extremely Angry Person. And He Would Walk Out The Door And Put On A Smile. I Have Never Seen Such Dysfunctionality In My Life.” (Committee On Oversight And Government Reform, U.S. House Of Representatives, Testimony Of Cristina Beato, 11/2/07, Page 45)
Beato:"He Has Problems With Women, Serious Problems With Women.” CRISTINA BEATO:"And he has problems with women, serious problems with women. And he could not stand the fact that I was going to beASH. He tried to undermine my nomination several times, both on the Hill here -- because I know my Senator that sponsored me -- as well as in the White House. He'd try to go in -- and people would tell me this, you know. It wastotally unprofessional, totally unprofessional.” (Committee On Oversight And Government Reform, U.S. House Of Representatives, Testimony Of Cristina Beato, 11/2/07, Page 48)
Beato:"It Was A Living Nightmare. It Was A Living Nightmare.” (Committee On Oversight And Government Reform, U.S. House Of Representatives, Testimony Of Cristina Beato, 11/2/07, Page 48)
Carmona Also Had A Confrontation With A Female Colleague When He Was Head Of The Pima County Health System
Campoy, A County Health Commissioner, Reported To The County Attorney That A Doctor Had A Drug Abuse Problem And Was Writing False Prescriptions; Carmona"Had Already Dealt With The Doctor On The Issue Two Years Before.”"His final battle there came in a dispute in May 1999 with county health commissioner Sylvia Campoy, who had reported to the county attorney allegations that a Kino doctor with a drug abuse problem had written false prescriptions to access drugs. Carmona had already dealt with the doctor on the issue two years before, and after an internal investigation, encouraged the doctor to report himself to the Board of Medical Examiners.” (Ann-Eve Pedersen and Megan Garvey,"Squaring Off Over Nominee,” Los Angeles Times, 7/8/02)
"After Campoy Reported The Allegations, Carmona Became Irate, Saying She Had Violated The Accused Doctor’s Confidentiality, an opinion shared by the Kino Community hospital board and the Pima County medical society.” (Ann-Eve Pedersen and Megan Garvey,"Squaring Off Over Nominee,” Los Angeles Times, 7/8/02)
"‘What I Got From Dr. Carmona [After Reporting The Case] Was Antagonism And . . . Threats,’ Campoy Later Told An Investigator From The Arizona Department Of Public Safety’s Prescription Fraud Unit, according to a state Board of Medical Examiners document obtained through Arizona’s public records law. ‘I was screamed at, I was yelled at. I was told it was none of my business. I was told that I had breached peer review.’” (Ann-Eve Pedersen and Megan Garvey,"Squaring Off Over Nominee,” Los Angeles Times, 7/8/02)
Carmona Bullied A Female Nurse When He Was A Director At The Tucson Medical Center
"Court And Hospital Records Show A History Of Conflicts Between Carmona And Other Doctors, Who Complained About His Lack Of Cooperation, ‘High Handedness,’ ‘Unwillingness To Communicate’ And ‘His Escalation Of Disagreements In An Effort To Prove He Was Right.’” (Ann-Eve Pederson and Megan Garvey,"Squaring Off Over Nominee,” Los Angeles Times, 7/8/02)
"In One Case, Hospital Administrators Cited His ‘Bullying’ Of A Nurse Who Said He Failed To Diagnose A Young Boy’s Skull Fracture In 1991.” (Ann-Eve Pederson and Megan Garvey,"Squaring Off Over Nominee,” Los Angeles Times, 7/8/02)
Carmona Retaliated By Demanding Angie Calvino’s Resignation Because She Complained About Him."Carmona demanded Angie Calvino’s resignation after she complained to colleagues about his medical judgment, rather than reporting her concerns to the hospital’s confidential peer review committee, court records show.” (Ann-Eve Pederson and Megan Garvey,"Squaring Off Over Nominee,” Los Angeles Times, 7/8/02)
"In A Mediated Agreement, Calvino Agreed To A Demotion If Carmona Did Not Report Her To The State Nursing Board For Not Following Protocol, According To Those Familiar With The Case.” (Ann-Eve Pederson and Megan Garvey,"Squaring Off Over Nominee,” Los Angeles Times, 7/8/02)
"However, Court Records Show That A Few Months Later Carmona Did Report Her, And Calvino Remained Demoted.” (Ann-Eve Pederson and Megan Garvey,"Squaring Off Over Nominee,” Los Angeles Times, 7/8/02)
