Maui anesthesiologist charged with attempted murder
Some of you may recall that my last cardiology practice was in Maui, including at Maui Memorial Hospital. He started in 2022, though, long after I retired. Some doctors were a little odd, but none were actual (attempted) wife-murderers. Those of you who have been to Oahu have probably driven up to the Pali Lookout, with its spectacular overview of the wet side of Oahu with all its lushness. We use to go to the church at the bottom of the cliffs. _________________________ “Remember, remember the fifth of November!" | ||

Not just HI, doc. There have been plenty of shitty docs who tried to kill, or have killed, their spouses. And, every month, the Medical Board here sends out their Bulletin informing us of all the docs that have been disciplined due to all kinds of crazy activities. Pretty sure other State Medical Boards do the same. Q | |||

Most of us are capable of murder given the right set of circumstances. It sounds like an impulsive act not carefully planned at all. | |||

Here's a little more detail from [URL=HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) - An Oahu grand jury on Friday indicted a Maui doctor for the attempted murder of his wife. Gerhardt Konig, 46, is also now being held without bail at the Oahu Community Correctional Center as he awaits his next court hearing. As part of his indictment, Konig’s been ordered to not contact his wife, Arielle, who he’s accused of trying to murder on Monday at the Pali Puka hiking trail. She has also been granted a temporary restraining order, which forbids her husband from being in their home, nor can he contact their two young children. Her petition for the TRO said her husband accused her in December of having an affair, which she said led to “extreme jealousy.” “Since then, he has attempted to control and monitor all of my communications,” she said in the petition. Arielle Konig, 36, also laid out her version of Monday’s alleged attack. She stated that the couple took a selfie near a cliff edge on the Pali Puka hike, but she felt dizzy and asked to move away. She said Konig moved, and she walked down the trail to him. “When I got close to Gerhardt, Gerhardt grabbed me by my upper arms and started pushing me back towards the cliff edge,” she said in the document. “At first I thought he was joking, but I quickly realized he was seriously trying to make me fall off the cliff.” Arielle Konig said she instead threw herself to the ground and that her husband, an anesthesiologist, jumped on her. “During the struggle, Gerhardt grabbed his bag and took out a syringe with an unknown substance, attempting to inject me with it,” she stated in the petition.]Hawaii News Now.[/URL]
So insanely jealous husband, or was he using too much of his own products? Maybe she drove him to it. _________________________ “Remember, remember the fifth of November!" | |||

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Anesthesiologists have a high rate of addiction compared to other physicians. The syringes may have been for his consumption, Besides injecting his wife and throwing her off a cliff does not seem like a well thought murder plan. Running her over in the driveway would have been better. | |||

My niece is a nurse at a local hospital and she knows of five doctors who have offed themselves. One in his car white his wife pleading with him while holding their son and pounding on the window. She says you would be surprised how often it happens. I wonder if it has anything to do with certain cultures really pushing their kids to be a doctor, lawyer or engineer and if they aren’t they are essentially ostracized from the family. I’m guessing you get a lot of people on these positions with no desire or calling to do it. | |||

If he was successful, sounds like it would have been a episode of Mr. Monk. "It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946. | |||

Maybe not the WHOLE event, since there were witnesses who saw him on top of her hitting her head with a rock. As for motivation, yeah, who knows? _________________________ “Remember, remember the fifth of November!" | |||

Absolutely everybody is capable of committing murder. You, me, anyone. We just wrap more inhibitions and layers of safety around ourselves. | |||

Another thing, when a spouse dies under questionable circumstances, the microscope is often automatically focused on the surviving spouse, boyfriend, lover, or EX. More than a few think they can get by with a flimsy alibi. I tell people, if you’re starting to think about ways to ‘off’ your partner, it’s time to separate. How many of these have we seen, accidentally death while hiking? The other thing, most investigators spent decades unraveling the stories of whoa. My sister watches a lot of crime shows. With one, the guys wife ‘accidentally’ died while he changed a flat tire. The SUV was jacked up, he went in back to ‘throw’ the flat tire inside, she was up front near the jack. As (bad)luck would have it, she dropped some lug nuts under the jacked up axel. She went to pick them up just as he threw the tire inside, knocking the vehicle off the jack, square on her chest. At first this was ruled an accident, he tried later shenanigans, reinvestigated. He’s in for life. | |||

Many have been off that cliff in the past. It's roughly the same place where Kamehameha's army defeated Kalanikupule's army, pushing them up into the Nu'uanu Valley, and subsequently uniting the entire chain of the Hawaiian Islands. "During this part of the battle, both Kalanikupule and Kaiana were wounded, Kaiana fatally. With its leadership in chaos, the Oʻahu army slowly fell back north through the Nuʻuanu Valley to the cliffs at Nuʻuanu Pali. Caught between the Hawaiian Army and a 1000-foot drop, over 700 Oʻahu warriors either jumped or were pushed over the edge of the Pali (cliff). In 1898 construction workers working on the Pali road discovered 800 skulls which were believed to be the remains of the warriors that fell to their deaths from the cliff above."

229DAK, there's a painting at the Nu'uanu Pali State Wayside. The battle was called "the leaping of the fish".  A close look shows the Maui forces using firearms. These were obtained from the British; and British cannons in particular were given a lot of credit for Kamehameha's success. He had help from British seamen such as John Young (responsible for the cannon at this battle) and Isaac Davis Link.
John Young had a granddaughter, Emma. She married Kamehameha IV and thus became queen of Hawaii. _________________________ “Remember, remember the fifth of November!" | |||
