I was homeless for 6 months, i stole a pack of bread to eat so i wouldnt starve during my construction job, i was about to walk out when a LP officer stopped me, looked at the bread, and my frail frame, and asked me if i was hungry. I said yes with shame. Ill never forget what he said "well, how about you set that bread down right here and we'll go get some burger king." I have never cried so hysterically from someones kindness. Not everyone is like this pos lady. Sometimes we have no other option...
He also bought me lunch for the week, drinks, and filled my gas tank for work after I explained my situation. Officer Marquez in California, if you ever see this. I owe you my life. Thank you. And God bless you sir.
Not disturbing, just really, really stupid. Kleptomania is a disease. What IS disturbing though, given it's a medical center, is she's probably stolen stuff from her place of work as well.
Kleptomania is a hell of a thing, and it can affect anyone, regardless of financial status. In fact, for a lot of rich people, it’s part of the thrill. They delude themselves into thinking, “well if I get caught, I can just pay for it”. The money isn’t the issue, it’s the high the act provides.
Or she probably was caught before but caught a break with this this act or was made to just pay for the stuff and leave and so she assumes she can play the “it’s my first time” card because there is no record of it and she keeps getting breaks. I absolutely hate when people do that.
He was so respectful, gentle, and clear. I hope she will learn and never do it again, but if she’s making $250k and doing that now, I suspect it’s a compulsive behavior not so much a phase.
She was concerned about going to jail and losing her job because she was caught. She never thought about causing financial loss to other hard working people. I have neither pity nor respect for this thief.
It is imperative to address the myopic nature of this comment, which fails to consider the intricate psychological and sociological dimensions underpinning shoplifting behavior, even among high-income individuals. To dismiss this individual solely as a "thief" without a deeper understanding is both reductive and uninformed. Firstly, it is essential to recognize that socioeconomic status does not confer immunity to psychological disorders such as kleptomania. Kleptomania is a recognized impulse control disorder, classified under the DSM-5, characterized by an uncontrollable urge to steal items irrespective of their monetary value or necessity. This compulsion is often driven by underlying neurobiological factors and requires therapeutic intervention rather than mere punitive measures. Moreover, the simplistic attribution of this behavior to a lack of consideration for others’ financial well-being overlooks the complex psychological state of the individual. High-income individuals may engage in shoplifting due to factors such as psychological stress, a desire for thrill, or as a maladaptive coping mechanism for underlying mental health issues. These factors underscore the importance of addressing the psychological and emotional well-being of the individual rather than resorting to moralistic judgments. Additionally, it is critical to understand the concept of 'shrinkage' in retail economics. While shoplifting does contribute to shrinkage, it is only one component among many, including employee theft, administrative errors, and supplier fraud. Retail companies often have strategies to mitigate these losses, including insurance, loss prevention measures, and pricing strategies that distribute the financial impact across a broader economic spectrum. The notion that one individual's actions cause significant financial harm to "hard-working people" is a hyperbolic misrepresentation of the actual economic impact.
Educated, successful and taking such a chance of ruining her life by shoplifting. And what a horrible example of a human being to her children. She definitely has a major problem and needs help.
Yeah. Major addiction here. Thrill from getting away with something. It's the opposite behavior from all the sacrifice and commitment it took to be a Dr. I feel sorry for her. I don't think it's what you think. Something is very wrong.
And it's sad that many who need help are exploited by channels like this. Snarky comments by the video poster and exposing people for no good reason at their worst. Brings humanity down and not up.
That's why, more than anything...it's a spiritual issue, not education or money. It's the sinful nature we all have. That's why Jesus had to die for our sins...this includes stealing. We all need to be born again. We all need to repent and be saved.
shit got real very quickly for her. i shoplifted once when i was a kid. no cops were called, but my mom found out & whooped…my…ass. i never stole again.
Thank you! Everyone trying to blame her poor choices on mental illness and lack of impulsive control. If she’s that out of control…she shouldn’t be working in a hospital.
Exactly! She knew what she was doing and we all know this wasn’t her first rodeo! I’d bet money on it that she’s been doing this for years! She just finally got caught! I hate thieves!

$286,000 thousand dollars a “year” and you’re stealing from Target?! How embarrassing for you 🙈 to be you right now. Omg, your patients, your managers and supervisors it’s really bad. You got away with this and 3x you’re o-u-t karma is a 🐝itch. All the years you’ve studied for it to end up say, such as us lol 😂 the hardworking barely making it during this atrocious time. Biden has done nothing to clean up the borders so they’re not stealing, a freaking Doctor is WHO’s stealing it. Making things just that much harder on us bc YOU screwed the pooch lady. I have a total lack of empathy, sympathy or compassion. You’ve done what you’ve wanted to get on CZcams “Wanted”, you made it now clean your mess up. Now, we can see what they’ll do in your case so I’m following you.
Possibly. It is odd she is as old as she his with no priors. I am not saying she hasn't. but to never have been arrested for it before is odd. Normally petty theft criminals have a ton of arrests.
$35 a week does not allow for much food. I understand how hard it is to make the $26 a week that keeps me on my budget while on SSI. I am very proud and rarely ask my daughter for help with food. If I am sick, that is the only way I will accept help from her. In the meantime, I am careful when shopping. I may ask my niece for help with couponing. I tried it before, but was poorly organized and impatient with this system. 😊
@@Thegoldenchild415 I know you're not asking me, but to an extent and in certain circumstances, I do believe it, including shoplifting. The shoplifters who I feel are genuinely sorry are the ones who can't get help, have no support or assistance, have lost everything etc and made a stupid mistake by stealing necessities. I've been homeless. I've lost everything. I'm bouncing back and have never stolen BUT I can absolutely understand why someone in that situation (mine/similar to mine) would be genuinely sorry. There aren't always resources for people in that situation. Having said that, stealing is not okay and something tells me this woman who makes 6 figures a year and is regularly stealing isn't sorry about anything in her life. I'd be terrified if she were part of my medical team.
UPDATE (1/23/2024): “The UNM Medical Group removed Melissa Ivers from her leadership position as Associate Chief Medical Officer on January 16. Additionally, Ms. Ivers has tendered her resignation from UNM effective May 17th, 2024.” - Communications Director Chris Ramirez, UNM Health and Health Sciences Spokesperson
*She was PAID a total of $95,000 on administrative leave between January and May. Brilliant. I don’t even know people who make that much money working for a full twelve months!*
Good, bc we SURE DON’T NEED anyone like this in the medical field or ACTUALLY ANY FIELD!! She needs help and it’s obvious! And her shopping in Target tells me A LOT about her!
Guys, she is not shoplifting because she needs the money. It’s not about making ends meet or feeding her family. This is a deeper issue. It’s a mental health issue.
I had a court date with a black dude and a doctor once. Myself and the black guy each were caught with less than 1g of marijuana. I got 1 year probation. Black dude got 6 months in jail. The doctor had caused an accident when he was driving drunk, injured a 4 year old girl and tried to drunkenly attend to her at the scene. It was his 3rd DUI. His punishment was to pay $5,000 and work as a volunteer for 24 hours in an emergency room. Seriously!?! Yeah, that happened. Also, since when is any diversion program LESS THAN A YEAR?!? Apparently it’s a doctor special.
@@JA9-fx7sg I hope everyone knows that the race of the man who committed the same crime as myself was mentioned for no other reason but to make that specific point.
You have no idea what priors the black guy had. You don’t know the law, the guidelines, all the facts for each of those cases, you don’t know anything, so stop trying to yell “racism”
@@cbrreezzyy69 actually, I was in court with with him. No prior arrests or citations, 19 year old high school graduate, graduated a year early, full time college junior year, had a full ride academic scholarship, 3.8 GPA, living in parent’s house, working 2 jobs, licensed driver. At the time of the incident he was in the back seat, and claimed that it wasn’t his pipe but someone had passed it to him and then they were pulled over and since no one claimed it… possession is 9/10’s. You really think the judge doesn’t ask these type of questions? You think lawyers don’t try and tell the judge everything great about the client? After he was sentenced, my 40 year old, disabled, never worked ever and have no money self thought I was about to go to prison for a few years. But as it turns out, I’m white; so when I turned down their offer of a weekend in jail in favor of flying to Florida that evening; they gave me a year probation instead. Also, since he went to jail, he lost those jobs and not only had to pay back the scholarship he lost, but at the same time became ineligible for government aid for college. So there goes that very bright future. Because a white judge couldn’t stand to see a black kid doing better than he was at 19 years and decided to ruin his life over 0.3 grams of burnt weed that he could’ve legally possessed in any single state on the border of the one we were in. Yep. Keep talking. I can too. I used to think racism was a thing of the past and people should just shut up about it; but then I spent 30 minutes in court that day. Nope. Please don’t excuse his judgement as anything other than the blatant systemic racism that it was. Thanks. I keep a voice activated recorder on my person at all times; and I take notes. Like I said, I’m disabled; and that can be loosely translated to mean that I’m crazy and paranoid. Which means I don’t ever do anything without monitoring every single interaction I have. Thank you.
@@Thewatched. She also could just be a kleptomaniac. This could be a compulsion for her. Who knows, either way she has or at least had the resources to either 1)Get help or 2) Just not steal.
Some people like crack, some people can sit in a diaper and gamble for 18 hours straight and get the same rush from gambling as the person doing crack, everyone is different and has different addictions
Her salary is almost $24,000 a month. She is either over living her means, or enjoys the thrill of not getting caught. Zero sympathy for her. I assume she can hire a really good lawyer, and will walk away with a slap on the hand, while poor people spend time behind bars for the same offense.
No, at this point it’s an addiction, just like drugs, booze, cigarettes or food. She can’t stop on her own and needs treatment. It wouldn’t matter if she was as rich as Elon Musk, she feels driven to steal.
Silly comments about “Captain Obvious” right alongside millions comments showing little to no understanding of the compulsive nature of kleptomania. No, it’s obviously NOT obvious to a LOT of people that this is almost certainly more about the action of stealing than about genuine financial need.
I've worked in the Healthcare field for 25years...she won't lose her license. I know doctors that have drug charges. The board is VERY forgiving of doctors. She may not work at UNM anymore but she has her license. She can work anywhere and most places don't do background checks. She'll be making that money back in no time.
I believe this woman is a true kleptomaniac and needs treatment for this condition. Shout out to the officers for handling this with tact & respect. It’s a horrible situation.
Psychedelics saved me from years of uncontrollable depression, anxiety, alcoholism, smoking, and illicit pills addiction. Imagine carving heavy chains for over a decade and then all of a sudden that burden is gone. Believe it or not, in a couple of years they'll be all over for treatment of mental health related issues.
To be honest, mushrooms are one of the most amazing things on the planet and it is natural, they serve in many ways not only for mental related issues.
Can you help me with a reliable source I would really appreciate it. Many people talk about mushrooms and psychedelics but nobody talks about where to get them. It is very hard to get a reliable source here in Hungary. Really need!
Yes, Sporeville. I have the same experience with anxiety, depression, PTSD, and addiction... Mushrooms definitely made a huge difference to why I'm clean today.
Not at all. Her position as Assistant Chief Medical Officer is not one that just any doctor qualifies for, so she would be given several month's suspension by the hospital, without pay, and then would go back to work under hyper strict rules that she'll have to obey for a very long time if she wants to keep her career intact. Her "panic attack" was more likely due to the fact that A) she was caught on camera, B) it wasn't something she could lie her way out of, so her family and her employer would learn of it very quickly, and C) she'd done an incredibly stupid thing that weakened her high position of huge trust (the trust of her employer). It's part of why she was so compliant with the officers; she knew that if she battled them or caused any kind of trouble, THEN she would lose her career status.
@@jb6712 If she won't lose her job and has the privilege you are claiming she has, why is she hyperventilating then? You just said she has nothing to worry about lol
This is insane, there's no justification whatsoever, it's not a psychotic breakdown, she was perfectly aware of what she was doing. Maybe she got a thrill from stealing, despite earning an obscene amount of money a year!
woman moment and still manages to lose to job too. Imagine making that much and still stealing and losing your job. Classic diversity hire white woman moment
College, Medical school, sleepless nights, exams from hell, student loans, ungodly hours as an intern, wasted time and money.......only to be caught stealing at Target, you threw your life away for some s#@t you CAN afford to buy
Some people push themselves too hard to achieve their dreams, ending up in a career they aren't suited for. The resulting stress can cause all sorts of 'deviant' behavior.
I feel bad for her… not for her specifically but for ppl who may be going through stuff like this that others don’t understand and can’t find anyone to talk to….
Mental illness. Addiction. The problem with addiction is people think drugs are related. Most addictive behavior goes unnoticed because of the strong influence of drug awareness classes in the USA. But thrill seekers and heroin addiction is the same and what they both seek is the same as this lady: dopamine. Aggravated driving is an addiction. But nobody has a good treatment.

@@mokaLAREThat’s still not correct !!! ‘I don’t have a record’ would be the correct thing to say but she’s just been caught stealing and her life has changed forever so she’s probably not functioning properly.
I struggled and stole when i was a kid. In highschool i nearly got caught and iy was bad/eye opening. Never again, it's pathetic and embarrassing and just shitty
Sounds as if it more compulsive than anything else. She obviously earns a substantial salary. So unless she has 1 mil in debt, including a mortgage, Dr's have expensive zip codes, so, she's a miser, doesn't want 2 spend her own $$, its like a compulsion, she's so in debt, or does it as a thrill, to relieve stress from her job. She may even be paying ex spousal support. We won't know all the circumstances, even though I'd really like to know!!
@@hotmess1971yep, like your house or storage unit😮💨☹️🤦♀️💯 Been hurt before and that sh*t cuts you so effing deep. No sympathy for real criminals💯🙅♀️
She had just finalized her divorce and her kleptomania kicked in. She stated that stealing made her feel better. She has 2 boys that need a mentally stable mother. I've seen coworkers snap after a divorce but it's usually cosmetic surgery or severe depression.
Going to jail is the last of her worries. She makes literally a quarter of a million a year, or sure say she use to make a quarter of a million a year. She threw away a good career to steal $900 dollars of items, she not very bright at all.
Yep exactly how it works, I had a family member who should’ve gotten their nursing license revoked twice for domestic abuse at home. She was put on a state program twice and it was wiped twice
you're out of your mind if you think this is the reason why they raise the prices. shoplifters are shit, but these companies are scamming more people than any shoplifter.
Who wants to loose everything in your life because of your addiction, especially when it's the first time she has been caught? That means your first DWI, or getting caught with weed, what about a opioid addiction from having extensiv dental work? Give this lady a chance to get some help just like the rest of us, want. People are so ready to hang shoplifters, and we know everyone caught has a reason why they do it and hers might be a addiction problem because it certainly doesn't seem to be money. 🫶💙🌸
How in the hell does one make more than a quarter of a million dollars a year, but still feels the need to shoplift from a supermarket? She deserves to lose that job.
Dude, i stole when i was living on the streets- tampons, food- you name it. But how you gonna be a doctor making that much- and stealing for what? Im not proud of it, but i did it to survive. I cannot imagine having such a successful career and throwing it away like that. Omg.
People who are kleptomaniacs have an issue where it’s not about what you steal, but the excitement of getting away with it. If she was when she was younger and got therapy and was better for many years, a divorce could trigger her again. It can happen with any addiction like alcohol, drugs, and sex.
It’s a mental health issue, rich people do things like this all the time. Her lawyer will get this reduced. Target is the worst place to shoplift from. Wait till she finds out they’re gonna sue her civilly too. I used to work security at their DC. You get prosecuted and also sued. They want their money back and fee’s.
There's a book by John C. Brady II about shoplifting as an addiction. Also, this woman, Melissa Ivers, was a dentist. The most unusual culprit John Brady ever tracked down [was] a woman, married to a neurosurgeon, who had a secret room her husband and kids were not permitted to enter. There, she stored hundreds of designer purses she had stolen from department stores, much like a shrine; he estimates the contents were worth around $500,000. What an interesting story. She is unemployed now. What bad judgment to leave her phone and car keys in an unlocked car. Who would choose her as a dentist?
It was real…I promise.She just realized that this happened. minutes later…That is why if you notice,loss prevention grabs you up real quick,you don’t realize what is happening.it is intentional…,when your brain reconnects with your heart and you remember you have an executive job,your body crashes out on you.
How pathetic! Makes a quarter of a million dollars a year and has to shop lift. At least she isn’t cussing and fighting but geez-makes alot of money and wow! Bet her job is proud to have her as an employee.
I would be so embarrassed to be escorted back into the store by police. As an introvert, i wouldn't shoplift as i don't like to be centre of attention. It is a good deterrent 😁
@englishpatriot, I agree! I’d be so nervous I’d probably turn myself in. I’ll never forget when I was in my early 20s I was in the grocery store with a friend and I went to steal literally a pack of gum , and I was sooo scared the whole time while standing there and ended up putting it back. 😂
Disgusting that someone with that kind of job / income would resort to stealing. I can understand if you are poor, need to feed your kids or can't afford to get them medicine, but to steal random junk when you don't need to is so messed up.
IF she went to the right county, they would make her the hospital administrator, trust me. She will have no trouble finding employment. There have been hospital workers suspected of killing patients (they couldn't prove they did it), and they simple went to another state and found a job within months.
Especially when you have the money to pay for it, and there’s really no reason whatsoever to be stealing in the first place. However we all know that common sense isn’t that common anymore!!
This is a mental illness known as kleptomania. In my hometown the president and CEO of a regional bank got arrested for shoplifting fishing lures from a sporting goods store. Dude was making $350K a year, not including his stock options that were probably worth millions. He hired a local shyster lawyer and managed to get off by agreeing to pay for the fishing lures he stole and go to some mental hospital to be treated for his illness.
Weird statistic, but the well off or rich steal more than people who are poorer. People who make $100,000 or more a year are caught shoplifting 30% more than those who make less than $30,000. I’ve worked retail pretty much my whole life, and as a manager I have had to go to court for hundreds of cases and most of them are people who can more than afford what they stole! It’s crazy!
Sometimes the attitude of dominance and entitlement is what gets them to £100k in the first place. It’s not everyone - there are people on the narcissistic and antisocial spectrums everywhere - but we still live in a society that doesn’t call them out before they get to positions of power.
You know why that is? Bcuz they feel like they shouldn't have to pay for such trivial items. Since they make good money most feel like buying things that cost pennies isn't worth it. So they steal it bcuz they feel entitled.
Makes ya think doesn't it? How many doctors and scientists who we're meant to trust with our lives are actually just garden variety scumbags with degrees.
Oh she definitely knows right from wrong. She just got comfortable stealing because she wasn't getting caught. I'd bet money she's either a clepto or she lives out of her means.
it's a diversion from her stressful job, she is mentally unwell and no one is immune from doing self destructive activities in times of mental overload.
I had a dr that was caught shoplifting. She went to department stores. She and her husband were both surgeons. She lost her hospital privileges to all area hospitals but she got them back and is still in practice. It hard to fathom how someone that makes that much money would risk everything for shoplifting. Kleptomania is a strange disorder.
Klepto is a ymptom of underlying anxiety. She probably suppresses the stress of her work/profession and the shoplifting is a way to discharge that stress, but in a negative way. Being a woman doctor is still not easy, as they still face challenges working inappropriately mostly male profession. Women doctors get mistaken for nurses still, they are not as respected as their male colleagues and are not part of the old boys club and some of the secret perks like sharing stock tips, investment opportunities, etc. it’s lonely at times to be a woman physician.
@@Pinkorchid72That’s a victimhood excuse. There are plenty of women doctors in the same kind of positions. Some may go through the good ol’ boy thing you’re talking about and aren’t stealing. Even this thief is blaming her divorce as the main reason for shoplifting. She AT LEAST isn’t blaming her being a woman in a mostly man’s field for it. It’s not men’s fault fewer women want to be doctors. And, no, it’s not that she doesn’t realize it’s her being a woman at her mostly men job. Give the WOMAN some credit. She may have cleptomanía. Who knows? She may spend beyond her means.
I’ve noticed that a lot of people in the comments are saying that she is a kleptomaniac, etc. “She needs help.” She doesn’t need a diagnosis. She needs to accept responsibility as any other thief. Is it because she makes $286,000 a year and isn’t poor? Give me a break.
She has zero need to steal anything she stole, yeah, because of her income, and this was high-risk behavior, so chances are there's something underlying it. Psychologists have been writing about this for well over a 100 years.
Just renewed my nursing license, there's a whole section on moral character and criminal history. She's screwed when it comes to future background checks. She won't lose her license, but this is one of the dumbest ways I've seen someone put so many years of hard work in jeopardy.
I shoplifted once, in my early 20's. A friend talked me into it. I took a necklace. We were out of the store and I felt so badly, I took it back. Yep! Then I dropped the friend. Never did it again.

So she got out of punishment for this felony with no incident showing up on her record. She lost her job only because she self-reported. She doesn't even have to tell her next employer she has a felony 🤔
She steals for the emotional thrill of it, not because she can't afford it. She's "dead inside" and the thrill of stealing makes her feel *something* other than "dead inside." It's not logical, it's all emotional.
I was a store detective years ago and the funny thing is, it was rich people that we caught stealing. Politician spouses, highly paid professionals, and etc.
When I worked retail, the ones who would always ask for discounts or coupons or complaining about price were the ones who would drive up in a Mercedes and pull out their coach wallets.
@@maxspears6030 I meant honesty in terms of owning up to her crime, not claiming “I haven’t done anything wrong” as so many people in these types of videos do. I realize her shoplifting is just a tad dishonest.
They will have to fire her. No way this won't bring negative attention to the company (hospital) she works for. This type of person is dangerous because we don't know what other kind of impulse and disordered thinking she has. EDIT: She resigns but I'd say it was "Either resign or we'll have to fire you". Glad she got caught.
I don’t understand how anyone could do this. I accidentally left something in my cart. When I unloaded my stuff, I went back in the store to pay for it. It was like $2.00. I was horrified. I can’t stand a theif. I am so happy that Target is prosecuting.
Yesterday I was grocery shopping. After putting everything (I thought) on the check out counter, and the lady had started scanning my stuff, I realized there was a tiny jar of capers i had missed putting on the check out.

How disturbing is it that a woman who makes 250,000 a year has multiple shoplifting cases
Not disturbing, just really, really stupid. Kleptomania is a disease. What IS disturbing though, given it's a medical center, is she's probably stolen stuff from her place of work as well.
its an addiction... not about the money
What’s more disturbing is how much Target makes per year.
Kleptomania is a hell of a thing, and it can affect anyone, regardless of financial status. In fact, for a lot of rich people, it’s part of the thrill. They delude themselves into thinking, “well if I get caught, I can just pay for it”. The money isn’t the issue, it’s the high the act provides.
Check Winona Ryder

The officer was right. She had just never been caught before.

It is imperative to address the myopic nature of this comment, which fails to consider the intricate psychological and sociological dimensions underpinning shoplifting behavior, even among high-income individuals. To dismiss this individual solely as a "thief" without a deeper understanding is both reductive and uninformed.
Firstly, it is essential to recognize that socioeconomic status does not confer immunity to psychological disorders such as kleptomania. Kleptomania is a recognized impulse control disorder, classified under the DSM-5, characterized by an uncontrollable urge to steal items irrespective of their monetary value or necessity. This compulsion is often driven by underlying neurobiological factors and requires therapeutic intervention rather than mere punitive measures.
Moreover, the simplistic attribution of this behavior to a lack of consideration for others’ financial well-being overlooks the complex psychological state of the individual. High-income individuals may engage in shoplifting due to factors such as psychological stress, a desire for thrill, or as a maladaptive coping mechanism for underlying mental health issues. These factors underscore the importance of addressing the psychological and emotional well-being of the individual rather than resorting to moralistic judgments.
Additionally, it is critical to understand the concept of 'shrinkage' in retail economics. While shoplifting does contribute to shrinkage, it is only one component among many, including employee theft, administrative errors, and supplier fraud. Retail companies often have strategies to mitigate these losses, including insurance, loss prevention measures, and pricing strategies that distribute the financial impact across a broader economic spectrum. The notion that one individual's actions cause significant financial harm to "hard-working people" is a hyperbolic misrepresentation of the actual economic impact.
$286,000 a year and you still shoplift? Thats stupid. I've been homeless and have never stolen anything. I just dont get people these days.
Perhaps a case of sick stealing? Is an illness.

This was NOT the wake-up call...losing her job was the wake-up call!
Right, that’s why she’s crying. Not because she got caught. She know her career is OVER! Geez
I agree smh
She didn't loose her job. She denounced herself and resigned.
Probably because she already knew that she would most likely lose her job due to her actions.
@@tammylaronde8593 She denounced herself and still didn't lost her job.
Go home, you're drunk. (or read de description/watch the video)
Educated, successful and taking such a chance of ruining her life by shoplifting. And what a horrible example of a human being to her children. She definitely has a major problem and needs help.
Yeah. Major addiction here. Thrill from getting away with something. It's the opposite behavior from all the sacrifice and commitment it took to be a Dr. I feel sorry for her. I don't think it's what you think. Something is very wrong.
And it's sad that many who need help are exploited by channels like this. Snarky comments by the video poster and exposing people for no good reason at their worst. Brings humanity down and not up.
I seriously doubt her life is ruined by this.
That's why, more than anything...it's a spiritual issue, not education or money. It's the sinful nature we all have. That's why Jesus had to die for our sins...this includes stealing. We all need to be born again. We all need to repent and be saved.

$286,000 thousand dollars a “year” and you’re stealing from Target?! How embarrassing for you 🙈 to be you right now. Omg, your patients, your managers and supervisors it’s really bad. You got away with this and 3x you’re o-u-t karma is a 🐝itch. All the years you’ve studied for it to end up say, such as us lol 😂 the hardworking barely making it during this atrocious time. Biden has done nothing to clean up the borders so they’re not stealing, a freaking Doctor is WHO’s stealing it. Making things just that much harder on us bc YOU screwed the pooch lady. I have a total lack of empathy, sympathy or compassion. You’ve done what you’ve wanted to get on CZcams “Wanted”, you made it now clean your mess up.

People don't just do this once, she's got a life of theft.
Possibly. It is odd she is as old as she his with no priors. I am not saying she hasn't. but to never have been arrested for it before is odd. Normally petty theft criminals have a ton of arrests.
It’s easy to get away with this when you have the complexion for protection.
Exactly.. in my opinion she feels like no one will probably be looking at her like a potential thief..
@@danielrn133she is going through a divorce. My guess is she is acting out

I'm a senior on a disability pension,and I have exactly $35 a week for groceries. No way I would steal! No pity from me.
It’s a crime you eat on only that much. Seriously. I’m so sorry.
Set up a Venmo and ask for assistance. There are people online who will help you out.
$35 a week does not allow for much food. I understand how hard it is to make the $26 a week that keeps me on my budget while on SSI. I am very proud and rarely ask my daughter for help with food. If I am sick, that is the only way I will accept help from her. In the meantime, I am careful when shopping. I may ask my niece for help with couponing. I tried it before, but was poorly organized and impatient with this system. 😊
did you not work half your life or something?
Please get in touch with your local food pantry. I’m sure they can help

I have no empathy for her what so ever. She’s sorry, I get that. She’s only sorry because she got caught.

Seriously asking. Do you ever feel that anyone is ever genuinely sorry?
What about corporate greed?
@@Thegoldenchild415 I know you're not asking me, but to an extent and in certain circumstances, I do believe it, including shoplifting. The shoplifters who I feel are genuinely sorry are the ones who can't get help, have no support or assistance, have lost everything etc and made a stupid mistake by stealing necessities. I've been homeless. I've lost everything. I'm bouncing back and have never stolen BUT I can absolutely understand why someone in that situation (mine/similar to mine) would be genuinely sorry. There aren't always resources for people in that situation. Having said that, stealing is not okay and something tells me this woman who makes 6 figures a year and is regularly stealing isn't sorry about anything in her life. I'd be terrified if she were part of my medical team.
Exactly !! How do you make all that money and steal ?
UPDATE (1/23/2024):

Guys, she is not shoplifting because she needs the money. It’s not about making ends meet or feeding her family. This is a deeper issue. It’s a mental health issue.
Well she doesn't need to be caring for patients then.
I had a court date with a black dude and a doctor once. Myself and the black guy each were caught with less than 1g of marijuana. I got 1 year probation. Black dude got 6 months in jail. The doctor had caused an accident when he was driving drunk, injured a 4 year old girl and tried to drunkenly attend to her at the scene. It was his 3rd DUI. His punishment was to pay $5,000 and work as a volunteer for 24 hours in an emergency room.
Seriously!?! Yeah, that happened.
Also, since when is any diversion program LESS THAN A YEAR?!? Apparently it’s a doctor special.
People are treated so differently based on income and race. Not a very “just” justice system.
@@JA9-fx7sg I hope everyone knows that the race of the man who committed the same crime as myself was mentioned for no other reason but to make that specific point.
You have no idea what priors the black guy had. You don’t know the law, the guidelines, all the facts for each of those cases, you don’t know anything, so stop trying to yell “racism”
@@cbrreezzyy69 actually, I was in court with with him. No prior arrests or citations, 19 year old high school graduate, graduated a year early, full time college junior year, had a full ride academic scholarship, 3.8 GPA, living in parent’s house, working 2 jobs, licensed driver. At the time of the incident he was in the back seat, and claimed that it wasn’t his pipe but someone had passed it to him and then they were pulled over and since no one claimed it… possession is 9/10’s.
You really think the judge doesn’t ask these type of questions? You think lawyers don’t try and tell the judge everything great about the client?
After he was sentenced, my 40 year old, disabled, never worked ever and have no money self thought I was about to go to prison for a few years. But as it turns out, I’m white; so when I turned down their offer of a weekend in jail in favor of flying to Florida that evening; they gave me a year probation instead.
Also, since he went to jail, he lost those jobs and not only had to pay back the scholarship he lost, but at the same time became ineligible for government aid for college. So there goes that very bright future.
Because a white judge couldn’t stand to see a black kid doing better than he was at 19 years and decided to ruin his life over 0.3 grams of burnt weed that he could’ve legally possessed in any single state on the border of the one we were in.
Yep. Keep talking. I can too. I used to think racism was a thing of the past and people should just shut up about it; but then I spent 30 minutes in court that day. Nope. Please don’t excuse his judgement as anything other than the blatant systemic racism that it was. Thanks.
I keep a voice activated recorder on my person at all times; and I take notes. Like I said, I’m disabled; and that can be loosely translated to mean that I’m crazy and paranoid. Which means I don’t ever do anything without monitoring every single interaction I have. Thank you.
She makes enough money to go skydiving and get the same adrenaline rush of shoplifting. She clearly can afford the shopping
Stupid of her. No other way of looking at it.
Not particularly. Most people have the 'if you make it, you spend it'...🤷

Duh, she wasn’t caught yet.
Her salary is almost $24,000 a month. She is either over living her means, or enjoys the thrill of not getting caught. Zero sympathy for her. I assume she can hire a really good lawyer, and will walk away with a slap on the hand, while poor people spend time behind bars for the same offense.
thats exactly whats going to happen. its not even close to a felony charge anyway.
Being on a quarter of a million dollars plus pay a year and still constantly shop lifting is ridiculous.
it's an addiction at that point.
Greed
Maybe for the thrill.
Kleptomania is a real mental illness. Doesn't matter how much money you have.
No, at this point it’s an addiction, just like drugs, booze, cigarettes or food. She can’t stop on her own and needs treatment. It wouldn’t matter if she was as rich as Elon Musk, she feels driven to steal.
Clearly her shoplifting is emotionally motivated, not financially motivated.
Mental and emotional issues.
Thanks captain OBVIOUS!!!
🎯not a money issue.
Silly comments about “Captain Obvious” right alongside millions comments showing little to no understanding of the compulsive nature of kleptomania. No, it’s obviously NOT obvious to a LOT of people that this is almost certainly more about the action of stealing than about genuine financial need.
So? She is a doctor. Get the "kleptomania" under control.
You have to wonder if she feels a deep need to be humiliated and punished.
I've worked in the Healthcare field for 25years...she won't lose her license. I know doctors that have drug charges. The board is VERY forgiving of doctors. She may not work at UNM anymore but she has her license. She can work anywhere and most places don't do background checks. She'll be making that money back in no time.
That's concerning.

She needs to take responsibility, not take a diagnosis.
Psychedelics saved me from years of uncontrollable depression, anxiety, alcoholism, smoking, and illicit pills addiction. Imagine carving heavy chains for over a decade and then all of a sudden that burden is gone. Believe it or not, in a couple of years they'll be all over for treatment of mental health related issues.
Congrats on your recovery. Most people don't realize that psilocybin can be used as a miracle medication to save lives.
To be honest, mushrooms are one of the most amazing things on the planet and it is natural, they serve in many ways not only for mental related issues.

@sherrienale9974 Not to mention drugs/pills. Making that kind of money and shoplifting only makes sense for someone with a SERIOUS habit
That panic attack is because she knew she was losing her job
Not at all. Her position as Assistant Chief Medical Officer is not one that just any doctor qualifies for, so she would be given several month's suspension by the hospital, without pay, and then would go back to work under hyper strict rules that she'll have to obey for a very long time if she wants to keep her career intact.
Her "panic attack" was more likely due to the fact that A) she was caught on camera, B) it wasn't something she could lie her way out of, so her family and her employer would learn of it very quickly, and C) she'd done an incredibly stupid thing that weakened her high position of huge trust (the trust of her employer). It's part of why she was so compliant with the officers; she knew that if she battled them or caused any kind of trouble, THEN she would lose her career status.

There's a book by John C. Brady II about shoplifting as an addiction. Also, this woman, Melissa Ivers, was a dentist.
The most unusual culprit John Brady ever tracked down [was] a woman, married to a neurosurgeon, who had a secret room her husband and kids were not permitted to enter. There, she stored hundreds of designer purses she had stolen from department stores, much like a shrine; he estimates the contents were worth around $500,000.

I would be so embarrassed to be escorted back into the store by police. As an introvert, i wouldn't shoplift as i don't like to be centre of attention. It is a good deterrent 😁
This is the comment right here!!
@Englishpatriot70 The deterrent should be 'that it is wrong to take something that does not belong to you.
@englishpatriot, I agree! I’d be so nervous I’d probably turn myself in. I’ll never forget when I was in my early 20s I was in the grocery store with a friend and I went to steal literally a pack of gum , and I was sooo scared the whole time while standing there and ended up putting it back. 😂
Disgusting that someone with that kind of job / income would resort to stealing. I can understand if you are poor, need to feed your kids or can't afford to get them medicine, but to steal random junk when you don't need to is so messed up.
it's mental illness. the fact you don't care about mental disorders speaks thousands of words...
She's been doing this shit for years....Her luck ran out, she's cry because she lost that good JOB...😮😮😮
Stolen items worth came out to about 5 hours of her work pay!!! Ruined her entire life for peanuts.
With these people it's not the money it's the adrenaline rush and the thrill. It's like being addicted to opiates.
IF she went to the right county, they would make her the hospital administrator, trust me. She will have no trouble finding employment. There have been hospital workers suspected of killing patients (they couldn't prove they did it), and they simple went to another state and found a job within months.
That cop is right telling her that shoplifting is the dumbest way to get a record on yourself for life!
Especially when you have the money to pay for it, and there’s really no reason whatsoever to be stealing in the first place. However we all know that common sense isn’t that common anymore!!
@@dawnr5158She has a devil spirit inside tormenting her to steal.
@@22Katmatmore like her mind
@@22Katmatlol probably a kleptomaniac
@@22Katmat The devil has nothing to do with it.
This is a mental illness known as kleptomania. In my hometown the president and CEO of a regional bank got arrested for shoplifting fishing lures from a sporting goods store. Dude was making $350K a year, not including his stock options that were probably worth millions.
He hired a local shyster lawyer and managed to get off by agreeing to pay for the fishing lures he stole and go to some mental hospital to be treated for his illness.
Target is somewhere you don't want to shoplift from. They have around 168 cameras and a lot of secret shoppers.
Growing up I saw my dad drive back to the grocery store because they accidentally gave him an extra $10 bill for his change. And we were broke lol
A wonderful example of what is the right thing to do. Good man.
Character 100%
@@jacquelineharrod6386 Thank you for saying that. It definitely gave me values
@@tbohtwentyone I agree for sure, he's a good man
Good man is right
Weird statistic, but the well off or rich steal more than people who are poorer. People who make $100,000 or more a year are caught shoplifting 30% more than those who make less than $30,000. I’ve worked retail pretty much my whole life, and as a manager I have had to go to court for hundreds of cases and most of them are people who can more than afford what they stole! It’s crazy!
I’ve heard that
Wow!
That's a total LIE!!!!
Sometimes the attitude of dominance and entitlement is what gets them to £100k in the first place. It’s not everyone - there are people on the narcissistic and antisocial spectrums everywhere - but we still live in a society that doesn’t call them out before they get to positions of power.
You know why that is? Bcuz they feel like they shouldn't have to pay for such trivial items. Since they make good money most feel like buying things that cost pennies isn't worth it. So they steal it bcuz they feel entitled.
Me to her "You're just dehydrated. Go home and drink some water and I'll send you a bill later".
For a Doctor she sure dosen't know how to breathe correctly?! 🤷🏼♀️she is doing that on purpose to get sympathy
How can someone, who can't distinguish between right and wrong, be in a job position that requires this basic skill?
Makes ya think doesn't it? How many doctors and scientists who we're meant to trust with our lives are actually just garden variety scumbags with degrees.
Oh she definitely knows right from wrong. She just got comfortable stealing because she wasn't getting caught. I'd bet money she's either a clepto or she lives out of her means.
She can distinguish between right and wrong - she knows it's wrong which is why she gets a rush from it...
it's a diversion from her stressful job, she is mentally unwell and no one is immune from doing self destructive activities in times of mental overload.
@@chipbuttytime3396 Ok Doc thanks for your comical CZcams prognosis! 🥱
I had a dr that was caught shoplifting. She went to department stores. She and her husband were both surgeons. She lost her hospital privileges to all area hospitals but she got them back and is still in practice. It hard to fathom how someone that makes that much money would risk everything for shoplifting. Kleptomania is a strange disorder.
Them mfers twinkle their nose a little too.
Klepto is a ymptom of underlying anxiety. She probably suppresses the stress of her work/profession and the shoplifting is a way to discharge that stress, but in a negative way. Being a woman doctor is still not easy, as they still face challenges working inappropriately mostly male profession. Women doctors get mistaken for nurses still, they are not as respected as their male colleagues and are not part of the old boys club and some of the secret perks like sharing stock tips, investment opportunities, etc. it’s lonely at times to be a woman physician.
But why should you get fired for stealing from big corp lol.
Because it’s a crime and it brings public embarassment to the hospital.
@@Pinkorchid72That’s a victimhood excuse. There are plenty of women doctors in the same kind of positions. Some may go through the good ol’ boy thing you’re talking about and aren’t stealing. Even this thief is blaming her divorce as the main reason for shoplifting. She AT LEAST isn’t blaming her being a woman in a mostly man’s field for it. It’s not men’s fault fewer women want to be doctors. And, no, it’s not that she doesn’t realize it’s her being a woman at her mostly men job. Give the WOMAN some credit. She may have cleptomanía. Who knows? She may spend beyond her means.
I’ve noticed that a lot of people in the comments are saying that she is a kleptomaniac, etc. “She needs help.” She doesn’t need a diagnosis. She needs to accept responsibility as any other thief. Is it because she makes $286,000 a year and isn’t poor? Give me a break.
She has zero need to steal anything she stole, yeah, because of her income, and this was high-risk behavior, so chances are there's something underlying it. Psychologists have been writing about this for well over a 100 years.
Just renewed my nursing license, there's a whole section on moral character and criminal history. She's screwed when it comes to future background checks. She won't lose her license, but this is one of the dumbest ways I've seen someone put so many years of hard work in jeopardy.
Ditto
I shoplifted once, in my early 20's. A friend talked me into it. I took a necklace.
We were out of the store and I felt so badly, I took it back. Yep! Then I dropped the friend. Never did it again.
Good. Lesson learned.
Good ....thank your parents for raising you right ...
Good 4 you
Good decision! ❤
👍
Well I think she’s just kissed her high salary job goodbye
But they paid her over $95,000 between January and May, soooo …
Na she probably didn’t, probably just put her on paid leave for a little.
@@KamCyrusUPDATE (1/23/2024):
“The UNM Medical Group removed Melissa Ivers from her leadership position as Associate Chief Medical Officer on January 16. Additionally, Ms. Ivers has tendered her resignation from UNM effective May 17th, 2024.” - Communications Director Chris Ramirez, UNM Health and Health Sciences Spokesperson
She’ll go practice elsewhere
it's hard enough for fellons to get a job in fast food so yea I'm sure she'll get another doctor job somewhere
So she got out of punishment for this felony with no incident showing up on her record. She lost her job only because she self-reported. She doesn't even have to tell her next employer she has a felony 🤔
The police officer was very kind and professional.
Making $25k a month and she's stealing ? Some people on Social Security get less than 25k a YEAR. That is insane.
I make 15-16k a month it’s not as much money as one might think
yes it is, it's literally mental illness.
She steals for the emotional thrill of it, not because she can't afford it. She's "dead inside" and the thrill of stealing makes her feel *something* other than "dead inside." It's not logical, it's all emotional.
Taxes. She doesn’t make $25k a month
No body cares about people on social security! Get a life
Shoplifting like this is not about money. It's an addiction trying to fill an EMOTIONAL need.
Ya'll always have an excuse for european folk. She's a thief and liar.
Trying to fill an emotional greed.
🎯
Maybe for some but for me, I stole food because I was actually broke.
I think it's called kleptomania, the addiction of shoplifting for no other reason than to feel the adrenaline of it all.
she deserves prison for all the homeless people who go without food
she steals because of pure greed
Many nurses all the way to doctors are addicted to pills.
I was a store detective years ago and the funny thing is, it was rich people that we caught stealing. Politician spouses, highly paid professionals, and etc.
lol ok chill i'm sure there were some but dont pretend like the majority arent lower income
Everyone you caught was rich? I've known a few thieves in my time, and they were far from rich. One was spoiled growing up, and lazy as an adult.
When I worked retail, the ones who would always ask for discounts or coupons or complaining about price were the ones who would drive up in a Mercedes and pull out their coach wallets.
@@Leolux-nx3md ok cool. and what? lol
wrong
At least she didn’t scream and roll around on the ground proclaiming innocence, so props for honesty and subdued behavior.
bare minimum stop kissing her ass
Honesty? smh
@@maxspears6030 I meant honesty in terms of owning up to her crime, not claiming “I haven’t done anything wrong” as so many people in these types of videos do. I realize her shoplifting is just a tad dishonest.
@@maxspears6030yes. Almost all the other people spaz out and fight, throw insults and act like children
Well, she belongs to the culture where committing crime is looked down on.
Never steal. No matter what. Never.
She's going to be feeling that same fear on Judgment Day and far worse before God if she doesn't repent.
They will have to fire her. No way this won't bring negative attention to the company (hospital) she works for. This type of person is dangerous because we don't know what other kind of impulse and disordered thinking she has. EDIT: She resigns but I'd say it was "Either resign or we'll have to fire you". Glad she got caught.
The company she works for? She works for a University Hospital
@@FANKANable Ok thanks. I thought it was a private medical group.
With a felony for theft? You're probably correct.
She could be stealing drugs from the hospital. You never know
Between January when she was put on paid leave and May when she resigned - *she was paid OVER $95,000!!!*
Does that make anyone else mad???
Youd think a Dr could fake a better panic attack.
My first thought, too 😬😂
Shes a Dentist
Ya that's breathing I felt she was trying to make her self pass out 😂
I mean seriously lol
Exactly
I don’t understand how anyone could do this. I accidentally left something in my cart. When I unloaded my stuff, I went back in the store to pay for it. It was like $2.00. I was horrified. I can’t stand a theif. I am so happy that Target is prosecuting.
Yesterday I was grocery shopping. After putting everything (I thought) on the check out counter, and the lady had started scanning my stuff, I realized there was a tiny jar of capers i had missed putting on the check out. I felt so bad, and apologised so profusely. I dont know how people are able to shoplift hundreds or thousands of dollars worth of things and feel absolutely no shame or stress about it.
