Thompson: "Get your bike out of the road, why don't you!"
911 Operator: "What happened?"
Thompson: "Three bikers in the road, out of line, called and said [expletive deleted] to me. I slammed on the brakes. They ran into the back of me. There's two injuries."
"I violated the most sacred rules of med and also in my personal life and that is to do no harm," Thompson said in court.

Thompson hung his head as he was sentenced to five years behind bars.
Victim Ron Peterson believes the doctor got what he deserved. "There's no good that really comes of it. It's just relief and a bit of satisfaction," Peterson told INSIDE EDITION.
