What happens when state medical boards & hospital administrators stay silent about bad doctors? Well, that's when 'medical miscreants' morph into 'medical monsters'

Delaware Pediatrician Earl Bradley, MD


DOVER  PHYSICIAN SUSPECTED OF RAPING 103 GIRLS, 1 BOY, SINCE 1998

Delaware State Attorney General Beau Biden has reported that Bradley's horrific misbehavior could have been stopped five years ago, had medical authorities simply acted on reports of his strange conduct around children. As is invariably the case in the United States, outrageous physician antics are tolerated beyond the realm of logic.

Some physicians don't murder or rape - they get their kicks in other ways . . .

Yes, the branding of womens' internal organs was for sport. He thought it was cool

Ever seen the inside of a uterus? This particular, very personal internal organ belongs to a terrific woman named Stephanie Means.  At age 38, Ms. Means, a school administrator in Kentucky, required the attention of the best Ob/Gyn physician she could find. Instead, she ended up in the hands of James Guiler, in Lexington.  During the course of her treatment, Ms. Means discovered that her trusted doctor was a proud alumnus of the University of Kentucky, where he had attended medical school. And James Guiler  MD, thought it was entirely appropriate to brand the initials of his alma mater into the wall of Stephanie's uterus. "U.K." Get it?

We wondered what Goofy Guiler had to say about his particular "brand" of lab coat lunacy, and we found this statement buried  in the hundreds of lines of court testimony:

James Guiler, MD

“. . . I felt it was honorable, since it made reference to the college where I earned my medical degree.”

Which brings to our mind at least 3 questions:

• Mind if we "honorably" brand your daughter's uterus?
• Dogs pee on trees, you brand female parts . . . food chain report, please?
  
• More importantly, is this egotistical maniac your doctor?

"A disruptive physician is usually one who, by the use of verbal  and possibly physical harassment, causes a disruption and potential for decreased quality of patient care, or disharmony in the workplace. These physicians may, depending on the circumstances, be dealt with in a variety of ways, from a friendly discussion to loss of staff membership and privileges."

Allan Tobias, MD, JD, Healthcare Consulting & Law

Our question to Doctor Tobias:  Tell us, sir. How's that working out for us these days?

Ever wonder what happens to the tonnage of liposuction tissue, sucked out of American tummies nationwide? We thought we knew.

The standard clinical procedure is for patients to sign on the dotted line (just beneath the paragraph that mentions you might die) that you agree to allow the facility to handle the disposal, which is shipped off to the local crematorium.

Thus begins the curious saga of Beverly Hills “plastic surgeon” Craig Alan Bittner, MD, and what was formerly  called the Liposculpture Center on Rodeo Drive.  In real estate, they tout “location, location” and  the Liposculpture Center certainly found a home in this west coast capital of physical perfection. What Bittner’s patients knew is that his ads were slick and Rodeo Drive verily shouts "high class enterprise." What they were slower to learn is that some procedures failed to turn out as promised; that non-surgical help performed surgical procedures; and their own, very personal body fat was being plopped into his girlfriend’s Lincoln SUV.

In European publications, Bittner bragged that he fueled several  vehicles using his patients’ “liposucked excess body fat.” The clients were actually excited - downright pleased - to be involved in his creative, eco-friendly genius. Yes, he really did say that.

 Suppose Bittner preferred girls of the hood?

But in December, 2008, California Public Health decided to actually investigate this matter of human tissue into gas tanks. And then there were those pesky patients popping up, reporting some pretty ugly outcomes.

Research shows that this was not “Bio-Diesel Bittner’s” first scam.  In Scottsdale, Arizona, in 2003, his chain of Ameriscan Imaging Centers was shut down due to deceptive practices. Bittner resurfaced in Los Angeles as a “prominent plastic surgeon” with a whole new game plan for Beverly Hills - a place where, apropos, things are not always as they seem.

Just before Bittner, MD, closed up shop suddenly and left town, he  scribbled a few parting words on his website:  

“I am sad to announce that the rumors I have a private jet that runs on human fat are entirely untrue.”

“My patients always loved the idea of using their fat for fuel and I enjoyed turning liposuction into something more meaningful.”

Suppose "meaningful" to Bittner might mean "monetary?"

The last known whereabouts of Craig Allen Bittner?  Possibly Colombia. Maybe Peru, in South America, somewhere. In which case he has certainly relocated to a fat-friendlier, although just a bit spooky, environment:

 CBS News - Reports that police in Lima, Peru have arrested a gang of black market profiteers who allegedly have killed five humans for their body fat. Reportedly, the fat was removed surgically, collected in bottles, and sold for as much as $60,000 per gallon to cosmetic firms in Europe.

Let us know when you think we're making it all up . . .

What you are looking at is an x-ray of Reverend Arturo Iturralde, following an operation on his neck by a surgeon named Robert Ricketson, in Hilo, Hawaii.  Ricketson made the decision to saw off the handle of a screwdriver, and insert the shaft into the patient's spine, in order to support two titanium rods.  As you can see, the screwdriver broke.  Reverend Iturralde suffered paralysis and 5 months of severe pain prior to his death.

A rare, tragic incident?  Not really.  Ricketson had a string of lawsuits across  other states prior to this surgery.   He had moved to Hawaii for a fresh start. And boy, did he find a home.  At the Hilo Medical Center, little matters like background checks were for nurses, not surgeons.

Note: Under current laws, there was no way in the world Reverend Iturralde would have been able to know how reckless his surgeon really was.

Think the Hawaii State authorities have the best interest of their citizens at heart? We nearly choked when we found this response to a reporter's inquiry regarding doctor misbehavior in the islands:

                     "We got many thousand of medical professional complaints
                      last year. Only 5,200 were about doctors."
                      Jo Ann Uchida, Hawaii Professional Regulation Department

An editorial based upon findings of the VitalSmarts Healthcare Professionals Survey, 2005. This research determined that of 68% of physicians who reported witnessing incompetent peer behavior on a monthly basis, fewer than 1% speak up about it.

Allow us to introduce Raymond Adamcik, MD. At the time of his arrest, he had tucked a large burrito in the crotch of his 'Captain America' tights, and decided it was good clean fun to start groping women in  the On Tap Cafe.  One woman's boyfriend didn't think it was funny, and neither - apparently - did the Melbourne Florida police. Adamcik lost his job, but he certainly didn't lose his medical license.  A burrito-for-a-pee-pee, vagina-groping physician in tights wouldn't even make a blip on the radar of a state medical board.  Suppose this picture is hanging in his waiting room? Not very likely.

Off to the Annual Convention

Oh, we’re off to the medical meeting

                                    Where there’s never a problem with seating

Except in the bar

                              Where friends from afar

Are exchanging their annual greeting

 

                             

Since the IRS didn’t complain

                              When we held our convention in Spain

We’ll talk antibiotic

                               In someplace exotic

And not in Des Moines or Fort Wayne

 

                               

If the lectures get too soporific

                                We’ll steal off to watch the Pacific

And we’ll toss down a few

                                Tax deductible too!

In a toast to la vie scientifique

 

                               

So what if we do run up bills?

                                For dinner with all of the frills

A fine bill of fare

                                Will help us prepare

To “improve our professional skills”

 

So we’re off to the annual convention

                                Eager to turn our attention

To the holy alliance

                                Of pleasure and science

And sundries we don’t need to mention
