Filming Dance Videos While Botching Surgery

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.
