Octomom’s doctor’s license is revoked; Dr. Wisot has the last word

Thursday, June 2nd, 2011

According to an article in today's LA Times:

The medical ethics controversy that erupted when Nadya Suleman gave birth to octuplets two years ago took a decisive turn Wednesday when the California medical board announced it will revoke the license of the Beverly Hills fertility doctor who helped the single mother of six conceive eight more children.

The "Octomom" case focused national attention on what critics have called "the Wild West" of fertility medicine. And Dr. Michael Kamrava, who assisted Suleman by implanting her with 12 embryos, became a symbol to some of the problems in the burgeoning industry.

Of course Dr. Wisot had the last word in the article:

"Dr. Arthur Wisot, fertility specialist with Reproductive Partners in Redondo Beach, said he believes the case may discourage doctors who previously might have been tempted to implant more than the recommended number of embryos.

"That's a good outcome," he said."

Dr. Arthur Wisot was quoted in the July 14th edition of the Los Angeles Times on the additional charges by the Medical Board of California against Octomom's doctor.

In response to a question about how this reflects on the fertility industry Dr. Wisot replied, "Most people understand that these are the actions of somebody who is way, way out of bounds and doesn't represent the mainstream of fertility treatment," said Dr. Arthur Wisot, fertility specialist with Reproductive Partners in Redondo Beach . "He has been shunned by the medical community as much as you can possibly shun somebody….He's totally out there, flying solo."
