Octomom Doctor Accused of Gross Negligence

Dr. Michael Kamrava, the doctor who implanted multiple embryos in Nadya Suleman, aka Octomom, has been accused of gross negligence by the California Medical Board.
According to a story in the UK's The Daily Telegraph, the medical board found that Kamrava (aka Octodoc, aka Doc Ock) "provided IVF treatment without consideration regarding potential harm to the patient's future children," and accused the doctor of failing "to recognize that the patient's behavior was outside the norm and that her conduct was placing her offspring at risk of potential harm."
In case anyone has forgotten, Kamrava implanted six embryos into Suleman, despite the fact that she already had six children.
Concerns about Kamrava have been raised in the past. In February of last year, UK news outlet TimesOnline ran a story about British embryologist Shantal Rajah, who worked for Kamrava more than 10 years ago. She says she left his clinic due to concerns over the "level of regulation," Rajah tells the Times.
Kamrava was thrown out of the American Society for Reproductive Medicine last year, but still has a license to practice medicine. A California Medical Board spokesman tells the Telegraph that the board's findings could lead to that license being taken away, but that wasn't definite.
Do you think that Octomom's doctor was negligent?

SusieQ said...Liz? A woman her age? She was 33 when she got pregnant. Are you saying that this RMIA place won't implant embryos in a 33 year old woman because she's too old? Most women don't even KNOW they are infertile until around then and would begin seeking treatment. I wouldn't want to go to a place that is ageist. I am not saying she should have any children in her situation but to say she is too old makes me wonder how old you are.

danitia1 said...there are crazy people all over, however it is up to the medical proffesion to weed out the "crazy ones". she went to him for the same
proceedure every time. Why? because she knew all he wanted was her money. he had no concern about the other children or the mothers mental state. if his job was to give couples unable to concieve or single moms, or even same sex couples the gift of children he would have questioned her sanity at 3. however she had 6 and some have issues already. he knew she had problems, but greed has no bounderies.

Lynn said...Way to go, Jim. You said everything I was thinking. I am so tired of the liberal minded thinking that we, hard working tax payers, should take care of everyone else's problems. Take care of your own damn messes you create and stop expecting a free ride from the government.
The fact is....these children are here now and must be taken care of, but that financial support should not come from the citizens of California.....The stupid Dr. should have to support them all the way through their college years, if they choose to attend.

He should be liable for these kids until they are eighteen and furthermore he should have to feel what she feels try taking care of those children on an everyday bases those children need to be fed and bathed and dressed and most of all loved! MY PRAYERS GO OUT TO THOSE CHILDREN
