According to the Collin County prosecutors, the case of Ozumba victimizing patients was the worst physician abuse case they had ever encountered. According to the prosecution, at least

Occasionally we think it appropriate to tip our cap to the thousands upon thousands of physicians in our nation who aren’t the least bit criminal. In fact, some of these guys and gals have figured ways to be downright upright, without committing any crime at all. They treat their patients with respect; save a few lives and – in their downtime – actually deem to entertain us with some mighty fine poetry. And God love them. Enjoy these scribblings of stethoscope scriveners. O

A New York City physician might well get to spend the rest of his wasted life in prison, all because a federal court jury in Brooklyn convicted him last Wednesday of selling powerful narcotics to numerous patients for fun and profit. At least one of those patients died. Doctor Martin Tesher was found guilty on 10 felony charges of illegally prescribing fentanyl and oxycodone, according to the U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District.

In Brazil, a celebrity "butt-enhancement" surgeon known to his mentally-challenged fans as "Doctor BumBum" now finds himself behind bars, after performing a highly dangerous, totally unnecessary injection procedure that killed his most recent patient.

Drain the swamp? Well, President Trump is certainly out to drain the “medical swamp.” The U.S. healthcare system is plagued by rampant fraud, abuse and profiteering carried out by dishonest doctors and pharmacists. In working to combat the rampant fraud, the DOJ has announced an unprecedented crackdown on medical fraud, charging over 600 people with criminal activities that involved over $2 billion medical fraud. U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions delivered prepared remarks,

In Montgomery Alabama another immigrant criminal-physician - already found guilty of Medical Fraud in federal court - was sentenced June 28 on separate crimes in state court, too. You just have to love these lab-coat gifts to society, do you not? Their crime sprees just never stop. This one defrauded 5 U.S. healthcare providers and sent the cash back to the Middle East. In the sequestered halls of hospitals we call these idiots Third World Assassins. Doctor Rassan Tarabein, a
