Dr. Michael Kamrava, Octomom’s (Nadya Suleman), overseeing fertility doctor, was accused by the Medical Board of California of negligent treatment. Oh, gee, a real shocker! Because, you know, implanting that many embryos must be standard practice… not. There are so many jokes I can make about this and I can’t let them all slide, so from now on I will refer to Dr. Kamrava as Doc Ock.
You know I always wondered how Octomom became, well, Octomom. I mean, even with fertility treatments most people will have one, two, maybe three kids. But EIGHT?! Clearly somewhere along the way here, Doc Ock forgot to read his “How to Be a Careful Doctor” manual. And who wants that many kids? You think somewhere along the way he’d ask, “Don’t you think that’s a bit much?” It’s like alcohol, you just have to cut them off at some point and say, “No more!”
The most troubling aspect in this entire case, however, is that as her doctor he should have given her a limit. Recommended egg implants are not to exceed five, let alone repeated treatments. It’s just not safe for the mother or the children. The icing on the cake is that Octomom isn’t the only patient that caused the medical board to cringe. Apparently two other patients have suffered complications as a result of his fertility treatments.
All things considered, I also blame the state. Octomom has been around for some time so it’s even scarier that it took this long for the Medical Board of California to speak up and actually revoke his license.
