Although there isn't much of a happy ending in this tale, one particularly careless doctor is to blame for everything that happened. In 2013, a baby was delivered in a hospital in Eastern China and was pronounced dead by the attending physician. Any parent would find that terrifying, so just think how they would have felt when the funeral parlor where the child was transported to be cremated revealed that the infant was actually still alive two days later.

The hospital was alerted by the workers, and the youngster was returned for treatment even though the prognosis didn't sound good. The hospital claimed to be treating the infant for "humanitarian grounds," despite the fact that he reportedly had a deformed respiratory system. The doctor who pronounced him dead lost his medical license, and the narrative concluded with a statement that the infant was in critical condition with no additional information.

Healthcare fraud is a serious issue, and we've already seen some examples of it from a few dubious physicians. The deception has truly gone off the tracks when it involves implanting things in people, which is exactly what happened in Kentucky with Anis Chalhoub.

Chalhoub was given a prison term of over three years and compelled to pay a fine of $250,000. He also lost his license. Giving them needless pacemakers was his crime. Evidence suggested that many of the 234 treatments he administered to patients between 2007 and 2011 were performed on people who didn't match the requirements.

Even when the patients' ailments were not life-threatening, he occasionally persuaded patients they would die if they didn't obtain the pacemaker. As you might expect, his primary motivation for the deception was the money he received for doing the procedure each time.

There is a lot to unpack when exploring the NVIXM cult as a whole, and very little of it is helpful. But among all the bizarre tales, there is one that some people missed that concerns a doctor who was associated with the gang. Danielle Roberts' license was cancelled in 2021 as a result of her involvement in 12 different types of professional misconduct.

The most egregious of these involved the branding of the cult leader's initials into 17 different women who were being used as sex slaves using a device intended to cauterize wounds. The markings were intended to indicate that the items belonged to the cult leader, who is presently serving a 120-year sentence in prison for a number of offenses.

Additionally, no anesthesia was used during this branding process to purposefully create pain. Her attorney stated that she would appeal the ruling since she was not working in her role as a medical professional—she was a brander of sex slaves for a cult—and so those standards shouldn't have applied to her in that situation.

One of the most horrific diseases now in existence is Ebola. It is unpleasant to deal with and kills up to 90% of afflicted patients. You practically bleed out of every orifice you have as a result of the sickness causing your cells to disintegrate. You do not desire to obtain it. And if you do contract it, avoid William Edwin Gray III's remedies because they are ineffective. In fact, they managed to have his license taken away.

Gray professed to be a homeopath, but he did earn his medical degree from Stanford in 1970. On his personal website, he offered MP3 sound files that included treatments for Ebola and other diseases. The price is $5. It's an oddly two-layered deception because the therapies don't even compare to homeopathy. On his website, he made some absurd claims about how a homeopathic remedy produces molecular clusters that emit energy that may later be amplified and captured as a sound wave.

Gray asserted that malaria in Sierra Leone had been cured by his medication. The state medical board suspended his license despite his assertions that it might also treat headaches, swine flu fever, and other ailments.

Rarely do you know the type of person your doctor is outside of your appointment when you visit them. The fact that they are a doctor rather than a buddy means that you don't really need a window into that. But because of social media, a huge number of people are utterly unable to keep their private feelings to themselves, no matter how awful they may be, even racist, like with one doctor from Ohio.

After someone brought their attention to tweets made by Lara Kollab, the Cleveland Clinic decided to fire her after she had just been employed there for three months. Kollab talked about purposefully prescribing the incorrect drugs to Jewish patients in the tweets, which have since been deleted. She later lost her second California residency after giving incorrect or deceptive information during the interview. She was permanently prohibited from practicing osteopathic medicine in Ohio after having her license revoked a year later.

There is an adage that suggests drinking a shot of liquid courage before undertaking a risky task. It simply refers to a fast alcoholic beverage to calm your worries and boost your confidence. Although some people report success with it, you generally don't want your doctor to be one of them.

When Marco Antonio Chavez lost his license for working while intoxicated, he was a psychiatrist in San Diego. The man wasn't a teetotaler either; he was charged with downing two 8-ounce glasses of mixed vodka and cloves, or one pint.

That amounts to just over ten normal shots. He asserted that the beverages, which he had begun at six in the morning, were intended to stop him from drinking because of how awful they tasted. All of that occurred in 2018. Chavez made headlines once more in 2020 for scamming Tricare, a business that handles healthcare benefits for military personnel. He was required to return more than $783,000.

The song "Working for the Weekend" by the group Loverboy is one of theirs. The goal is to work all week in order to enjoy the weekend. Self-explanatory, I think. It is the complete antithesis of the life that obstetrician Paul Shuen was leading. All Shuen had to do to make a significant profit from his astonishing scheme was to coerce women into having babies on the weekend, regardless of whether it was the right time for them to do so.

Shuen worked in Canada, where the government is in charge of making sure doctors are paid. A weekday delivery on the basis of the wage structure brings in roughly $498. Although hospitals frequently have fewer employees on weekends, a weekend birth cost $748. The number of deliveries a doctor can perform in a month is also limited. Shuen then devised a scheme.

Without their knowledge or agreement, he gave his patients a medication called misoprostol. He did it to try to guarantee weekend births whenever possible. It's utilized to induce labor. In 2016, five separate women all arrived that day in a hurry. When nurses started discovering signs of the medication inside of patients, he was caught off guard. Shuen had been practicing this for years before his license was finally suspended, but the technique was cumbersome.

With YouTube recordings of her doing surgeries while dancing to popular music, Windell Davis-Boutte gained some notoriety as a dancing doctor. Scandal sparked by the lack of professionalism of a surgeon and a nurse. Online uproar has been sparked by a video showing a plastic surgeon and an assistant nurse dancing during surgery. After becoming involved in a scandal that resulted in her license being suspended for more than two years, she also had to pay back nearly $200,000 to patients who never underwent procedures.

While the dancing videos were dubious, especially since they occasionally featured patients who appeared to be unconscious, it was the numerous malpractice allegations that led to the suspension of her license. After botched treatments, patients allegedly experienced a variety of problems, with one even alleging brain damage. That is all the more amazing given that Boutte was a dermatologist. She performed plastic surgery procedures while she was ineligible to do so and misled patients into believing she was a board-certified plastic surgeon.

It's obvious from the name that children are the ones who invent juvenile behavior. Based on the never-ending stream of viral videos of individuals acting horribly that we have all seen, some adults are not fully devoid of childishness too, but at least if it's a real child, it can be more readily understood and dealt with. Children must be taught right from wrong and given examples of how to handle their emotions. And occasionally, seeking assistance from a doctor may be necessary if a parent suffers with that. You just have to hope that the doctor is knowledgeable.

Parents of a 4-year-old who was throwing tantrums consulted William S. Eidleman, a Los Angeles "natural medicine physician." That isn't particularly significant in and of itself, but Eidelman's advice was. He gave the young boy some cookies. Cookies prepared with marijuana are those.

Actually, the parents had been according to the doctor's advice, but things took a turn for the worst when the child asked the school nurse for more marijuana cookies in the midst of the school day. The boy's ADHD and bipolar condition were incorrectly diagnosed by the doctor, according to the state medical board. Actually, it was that hurried diagnosis that they labeled "grossly irresponsible," not the marijuana, that resulted in the suspension of his license.

In general, most of us desire to continue living with all the components we began with. But alas, fate is cruel, and occasionally you have to say goodbye to some unrelated pieces. You might suffer an injury, or you might require an amputation to stop future harm. For instance, gangrene might develop if a severe infection is not appropriately treated. That might result in an immediate amputation, which is exactly what occurred to one Missouri guy who picked the incorrect doctor.

John Ure, a former physician, decided to amputate the man's toe since it had become gangrenous. The specifics are crucial at this point. Ure's workplace doubled as a tool shed. It lacked even an exam table and running water. Additionally, Ure carried out the amputation while standing on the porch.

Ure claimed that everything was sterile while acting in accordance with standard medical procedure. Given that he wasn't even given antibiotics, medical records imply that may not be the case. But he did improperly administer medicines to two additional patients, which resulted in his losing his license.
