The fertility doctor who helped “Octomom” Nadya Suleman conceive the world’s longest living set of octuplets has been accused of “gross negligence” by the State Medical Board.
Suleman, 34 — an unemployed mother of six –became a tabloid darling last January 26 when she successfully gave birth to octuplets in Califonia. Under guidelines issued by the American Society of Reproductive Medicine (ASRM), a woman Suleman’s age should have no more than two embryos implanted.
According to the Medical Board of California, Dr Michael Kamrava acted beyond the reasonable judgment of a treating physician by repeatedly providing fertility treatments to a patient who was only identified by the initials “N.S.” in the documents. The board claims Dr Kamrava’s “failure to recognize that [the patient’s] behavior was outside the norm and that her conduct was placing her offspring at risk for potential harm.”
The board is recommending that Dr Kamrava’s Doctor’s Physician and Surgeon’s license be revoked or suspended.
