‘How My Large Intestine Was Stolen’

An ulcerative colitis patient unhappy with the results of a surgical procedure allegedly embarked on a four-year stalking campaign against the doctor who performed it, vowing to brutalize and torture him until he was little more than “[a] consciousness trapped in a body experiencing nothing but physical and emotional pain and regret.”

That’s according to a criminal complaint obtained by The Daily Beast, which accuses Robert Bouton McDougal of threatening unspeakable violence against Dr. Jared Frattini and his family after an operation left the 27-year-old Costa Mesa, California resident with near-constant diarrhea.

“I dream of seeing him limbless and blind, but conscious,” McDougal posted to Substack on March 29. “I want bones shattered into pieces… He needs to be gunned down in the parking lot. He needs to be thrown in the back of a truck, and tortured. Brutally tortured. He needs to feel levels of pain no living creature has ever felt… I want to kill this man. I want to genocide his family. I want him tortured, skinned alive, mutilated.”
