proteus is Carl D'vorak, a former
president but now senior executive at
Epic Systems, a leading healthcare
software company based in Verona,
Wisconsin. Epic software has been used
to manage medical records for
approximately 78% of patients in the
United States and over 3% of patients
worldwide. The company employs around
13,000 people and reported revenues of
$4.6 billion in previous years. When our
team reached out to Epic Systems
regarding D'vorak's arrest, they
responded expressing no further comment
on the incident. However, in a statement
to Midwest's safety, D'vorak himself
responded, "The way I acted on the plane
that evening was inappropriate. I have
apologized to the airline, their staff,
and I apologize to the other passengers.
D'vorak was given a citation for
disorderly conduct, and he is innocent
unless proven guilty in a court of law.
Now, some people really believe that the
law doesn't matter or apply to them,
which leads me to my question. What
happens when a CEO refuses to back down
on a plane in front of the airport staff
and then the police? Because I can't
imagine seeing myself on a police body
camera acting like this. And I do have
to be honest because when I'm about to
fly now, I do find myself thinking, I
hope nobody acts up on this plane
because it all starts like any other
airplane dispute. First the defiance and
then the camera comes out. But we soon
see the problem and that's intoxication
which does mean that he's not fit to
fly. And by looking at him, he couldn't
even speak or function properly in that
moment. And most people should know by
now, but you can be removed from an
airplane for inappropriate behavior. You
can face steep fines imposed by the FAA
for interfering with flight attendants.
And you can face criminal charges with
long prison sentences for intimidating
or assaulting a flight attendant or
other crew members. These officers gave
him every chance to exit the plane. But
I don't understand why adults need to
act like children because who asked the
police to handcuff them for a lawsuit?
And at this point, it's past defiance
and going into trying to bait these
officers in an attempt to control the
outcome. To wrap this up, why would
someone with things to lose in life want
to be pulled off a plane and arrested?
But that's what he wanted and that's
what he got. But more importantly, in a
world where status is often mistaken for
immunity, this incident is a reminder
that the law doesn't care about your
title, your net worth, or your
followers. It cares about your actions.
