Octo-Mom's Doc Faces Hearing Monday - Could Lose License
Posted on Oct 18, 2010 @ 06:25AM
The Beverly Hills fertility specialist who helped Nadya "Octo-Mom" Suleman conceive octuplets and six other children through in vitro fertilization faces a medical fitness hearing Monday and could have his medical license suspended or revoked, RadarOnline.com has learned.
Dr. Michael Kamrava is accused of several instances of gross negligence, including implanting too many embryos in Suleman.

In addition to questioning his treatment methods, the complaint also says Kamrava should have referred Suleman to a mental health professional after she repeatedly returned for fertility treatments, even after giving birth to six children over a short period of time.
The complaint also accuses Kamrava of implanting the single Suleman with a number of embryos "far in excess of the American Society of Reproductive Medicine recommendation and beyond the reasonable judgment of any treating physician."

The society expelled Kamrava this past September, citing a pattern of behavior harmful to the medical field. However, his medical license was not affected, allowing him to continue treating patients.
The society recommends no more than two embryos be implanted in women under 35 years old, and no more than five for women over 40, for whom it is harder to get pregnant.
Doctors say giving birth to extreme multiples comes with increased risks for both the mother and the babies. Risks for the children include bleeding in the brain, intestinal problems, developmental delays and lifelong learning disabilities.
Suleman's babies - six two and two girls - were born 9 weeks premature in January, 2009 have since become the world's longest-surviving set of octuplets. So far, there's been no indication if any of the children are facing learning disabilities.

In addition to the Suleman case, the complaint also accuses Kamrava of improperly implanting a 48-year old woman with seven embryos.
The state medical board hearing is set for Monday morning in downtown Los Angeles.
The hearing will last until October 29.

Some have speculated that this ugly "doctor" is the father of all the children. Yikes! I hope they are wrong. those poor kids will not only have to grow up with a dysfunctional "mother" but they'll be ugly adults as well.

Octoscam could keep Maury Povich employed for the next 12 months looking for baby daddies. All 14 of them. Line up fellas, DNA tests for everyone.

I'm wondering if Octoscam can be held liable for trying to have her medical records shredded? Glad the nurse didn't do it! Maybe they can nail her ass for that one! LOLOLOLOLOL

Love the picture accompanying this article. She looks like Cruella DeVille with that grey streak down the center. Same evil stare, too. Instead of 101 Dalmations, she's collecting 101 Innocent Children to make a new coat.
