Octomom Doctor Malpractice?
Monday, March 2, 2009 at 09:51AM The fertility doctor that helped Nadya Suleman give birth to octuplets also provided treatment to a
49-year-old woman who is pregnant with quadruplets. Dr. Michael Kamrava implanted at least seven embryos from younger donor eggs into the woman, who is currently hospitalized.
Kamrava is under investigation by the California Medical Board and American Society for Reproductive Medicine, which recommends women under 35 are implanted with no more than two embryos. Suleman is 33 years old and was implanted with six embryos with one splitting.
Should his license be revoked? Is he guilty of malpractice?
Scott Drake interviews Doctor Mousa Shamonki...a specialist in reproductive edocrinology and gynecology at Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center.
