No glee in Manhattan doctor's shopping spree
Sam
High profile gastroenterologist Dr. Gina Sam suffered duress over a dress.
 Sam   a media savvy M.D. who frequently turns up on TV and has graced the pages of Elle  Forbes and People  found herself in a Wednesday morning run-in with employees at the Burlington Coat Factory in Chelsea. She says the incident happened when they insisted she couldnât wear a dress sheâd planned to purchase into the bathroom.
According to  Sam   she arrived at the outlet store shortly after 8 a.m. following a morning workout. She says she'd spent more than four hours compiling clothes  toiletries and toys to donate to the Red Cross for disaster relief in the Caribbean. Thatâs when she saw a white dress she decided to buy for herself  then tried it on. Since  Sam  had on gym clothes under  her  fur coat  matching hat and Ugg boots  she figured sheâd save time by wearing the dress out of the store and heading straight to her afternoon events. But first  she had to use the ladies room.
âThey said âwe can not have you leave the dress on and go peeâ!â she claimed one of the five store employees who'd come to deal with the situation told her.  Sam  said she demanded to speak to a manager and told the employees âI feel like Iâm being cornered.â
According to the Tufts medical school grad  she had two bins full of merchandise totaling $1 300 and had every intention of buying the $40 dress too. But management insisted she had to go downstairs  pay for the dress first  then she could use the facilities.  Sam  said she paid for the dress then ran out to a nearby bank to get more cash so that she could come back and buy the rest of her merchandise.
 Sam  also said that  she  asked a bank teller for a glass of water and an aspirin because  she  was feeling such anxiety over the run-in.
âPeople should not be made to feel this way â  she  told us.
 Sam  plans to have  her  attorney write a letter to the retailer.
