Anyone hear about this? What are your thoughts?

I didn't know this doctor was also under fire for how he handled two other patients, too. To me, his excuses for how he handled things (or didn't handle them) are very weak and pathetic.
I personally am glad he's had his license revoked. I feel that as a fertility doctor, he has an ethical responsibility to protect the health and safety of his patients. Transferring as many as 12 embryos during an IVF procedure is incredibly ridiculous and in doing so, he made a mockery of fertility clinics. My RE is super responsible and tries very hard to keep multiple birth rates low (and aim for nothing more than twins if they can help it) because it poses a health risk to both mother and babies, and I fully support that.
Anyways, what are your thoughts?

It is encouraging to see that the court system came up with the logical result. Progress and technology seem to clash frequently with medical ethics. We should stop many more so called doctors! Like the plastic surgeons who render people into freaks, see "Cat Woman" Jocelyne Wildenstein. And all obstetricians who recommend and push planned c-sections to fit child birth into their neat 9-5 schedule. I was a patient of Michael Kamrava's brother Sid. I left his gynecology practice when he started to push and pressure me into cosmetic procedures (he was a ob/gyn, not a board certified plastic surgeon) he was offering during my routine ob/gyn visits! I knew the difference! My father was an ethical doctor. These guys are all about maximizing profit!
