March 26Mar 26 Doctor Pushes Wife Off Scenic Spot, Bashes Her Head with Rock Summarize March 25, 2025 by David Jones A Maui-based anesthesiologist, Gerhardt Konig, 46, has been accused of attempting to murder his wife, Arielle Konig, 36, a nuclear engineer, during their vacation on Oahu, Hawaii. The incident reportedly occurred when Arielle refused to take a photograph with her husband at the Pali Lookout, a popular tourist spot known for its panoramic views. According to law enforcement, Gerhardt’s reaction to his wife’s refusal escalated to violence. He is alleged to have pushed her off the hiking trail at the Pali Lookout. The assault didn’t stop there, as he is also accused of repeatedly punching her and striking her with a rock. At one point, he allegedly attempted to stab her with two syringes, although it remains unclear whether the syringes contained any drugs. Arielle was rushed to a local hospital in serious condition, suffering from multiple facial and head injuries. The alleged attack took place early Monday morning, as reported by the Honolulu Police Department. Following the incident, Gerhardt was apprehended near Pali Highway after a brief foot pursuit. His arrest occurred around 6:45 p.m. Monday, approximately eight hours after the alleged assault. In the aftermath of the shocking incident, the Pali Lookout was closed for the remainder of Monday, as announced by Hawaii’s Division of State Parks. Gerhardt, who was contracted to provide anesthesiology services in Maui, has been suspended from his duties, according to a statement from Maui Health. The health organization emphasized its commitment to patient safety and high standards of care, stating that it takes the allegations against Gerhardt seriously and will cooperate with authorities as necessary.
March 26Mar 26 Given that he had syringes on him, I’m guessing this guy was diverting. It’s a pretty big problem in the world of anesthesia.

He’s been doing some contract anesthesia work at the hospital I work at for a couple years. Nurses I’ve talked to do not seem surprised based on OR interactions lately.

One of them has a very opinionate wife, so who knows when he'll crack. But maybe he's taking some of that nitrous oxide himself, because he is sooooooper chill.

March 27Mar 27 Unnecessary, honestly. He could have just waited for her to get lost 50 yards away from the trail on a solo hike.
