Geraldine Richter

Geraldine Richter, of Fairfax, Virginia, is an orthopedic surgeon[?]. She received brief media coverage after a November 22, 1990, drunk driving incident in which she had a blood-alcohol level[?] of 0.13%, kicked a breathalyzer[?], and attempted to kick a cop. Richter was quoted as shouting, "You son of a [expletive]; you [expletive] can't do this to me; I'm a doctor. I hope you [expletive] get shot and come into my hospital so I can refuse to treat you, or if any other trooper gets shot, I will also refuse to treat them." All charges, against Richter, were dropped after a gynecologist testified that she was suffering from premenstrual stress syndrome.
