[NY Post] A cancer surgeon with a God complex boasted that her job saving lives made her far superior to the lowly NYPD officers who hauled her away in cuffs for hitting a cop with her car in Midtown, prosecutors said Friday."I am a doctor. I have patients who are dying. I'm the hero; the cops are not!" Dr. Rachel Wellner, 40, told police when she was arrested for striking an officer's leg with her Volvo on Thursday to avoid a parking ticket, prosecutors said at her arraignment.
"I don't accept a summons. The police assaulted me," she allegedly said.
Police sources said Wellner -- who was released without bail on charges including resisting arrest and leaving the scene of an accident -- was "a hot mess" when she was busted.
"She was saying, 'I don't have time for this. I have to get to the hospital,' " the police source said.
"Officers were trying to reason with her about the summonses, but she wasn't having it. So she jumped in her car as the officer was trying to cuff her, and she sped off hitting the officer."
After she was arrested in her green scrubs, Wellner burst into tears and threw a fit about being handcuffed, punctuating her griping with medical jargon, the police source said.
