South Pasadena doctor apologizes for yelling at child with autism

A South Pasadena ophthalmologist apologized after a video showed him yelling at a 7-year-old autistic, nonverbal child in a speech pathologist’s office. The child’s grandmother said the outburst frightened them. Dr. Raghu Murthy said the child’s movement nearly caused a patient undergoing treatment to lose her eyesight, but acknowledged he acted rudely and irrationally. His office said it has received alarming threats since the video circulated.
