I just googled the guy and there's an order granted by the Arizona Medical Board dated 3rd March 2017 where he surrendered his license to practice allopathic medicine. So if it took me all of 1 minute to Google that and read it, so what is the HPCSA doing? Surely they should have checked that he was sued for malpractice and settled the matter but his conduct was unprofessional and had his license revoked. It's not just him that needs to be held accountable. It's the hospital who hired him, the HPCSA... Maybe even the Minister of Health.
HPCSA is a joke. I opened a case with them against a doctor more than 5 years ago and I still haven't received any feedback from them or an update as to the progress or status of the complaint.
Thank you for exposing such a very "no go" area. You guys deserve a huge award for the through investing you do. SA is proud of your hard work and persistence to get to the bottom of things. In my opinion this Dr should be sued for damages and deported.
The fact that other professionals in this field would rather hide and not stand up and speak for their patients is truly mind blowing. The Minister of Health needs to answer about their recruitment policies. Absolutely frightening.
Human beings need a source of income. Also they would like not to be murdered. And there is no guarantee that speaking up would have any impact at all. That is why there are regulatory bodies. Health workers should be able to anonymously report malpractice. The regulatory body should investigate and revoke his licence to practice
How do we approve such people who put people life's at risk. Most people with real disability cannot get not financial assistance from government social grants, and here is a doctor who causes people to become disabled. It's painful.
@@pholoshomokoena5078cant agree with you more on both your comments...our peoples capabilities were and still is watered down by our own people that keep referencing pre 1994 being much better...people like you and I know where that comes from amd what the right wing effort is.
@@ozzi4627 well I’m a Dr. I’m black. And I live abroad. I know very well what people are saying about SA Drs then and now. You may not like it but I guess Bantu education can be blamed for a lot of our peoples lack of critical thinking
Unfortunately now with the looming NHI this will get worse. There is not enough surgeons in S.A so private hospitals are desperate to find them so they get exploited by these Drs. Many of these Drs work as private contractors. It's very negligent on their part. The patients need to sue the hospital & Dr.
Well done on exposing this " doctor"! How can he be allowed to still work and operate on people? He should at least be suspended with immediate effect!!!!
Thank you for this program, closed ranks in the medical field is a problem. Just a note that HPCSA is the Health Professions not Practitioners Council of SA. Accuracy in Journalism is also important. The HPCSA is the registration body for all medical professionals including speech therapists, psychologists and more.
Him, the hospital, the medical registration board and everyone in between. Coming from America shouldn't allow you to be exempt from the rules. These are peoples lives
The HPCSA needs to be investigated to see if they are capable of fulfilling their legislated mandate. This is based on the fact that our hospitals & clinics are in such a shocking state. They may directly be at fault for the implementation of the NHI.
We put our lives in their hands, trusting them, trusting that they are qualified and were hired because of their qualifications. If my family had not intervened, I would be dead. The Doctor had me NPO for 3 full days. No food, no water, then he conveniently forgot. When my family demanded answers he blamed everyone but himself. Always get a second opinion. Its sad that SA allows things like this to happen!
This happens to alot of ppl where they are left hungry for days or even a week waiting for a operation. When ppl get bumped down the theater list because of emergencies this is what happens. That is why nurses are supposed to be advocates for their patient & remind the doctor that they are making the patient suffer needlessly. Drs being overburdened also lead to these problems.
He doesn't appear on the ABPN: American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology where you can check their status. HPCSA could just look him up and you'll find the document where he was ordered to surrender his license in the USA.
@DumaM-ir7rkAko be butle ka xenophobia this is not the time to be xenophobic. Do you see how serious the allegations are? Due to xenophobia if another doctor did this the board wouldn't be this lenient. But since he is male, white, American he keeps getting a pass.
I lost my grandmother to a similar doctor at Arwyp in Kempton Park in August 2023. I don't even know where to turn to for help. I just thought it won't be a priority since this is South Africa. Thank you CB for assisting families involved in this particular case.
Sorry for your loss. David and Goliath fights are not only limited to SA. Everywhere you have weak and people with no means to fight, they receive a raw deal
Dear Carte Blanche. I urgently need assistance with an unresolved case with the HPCSA involving a specialist physician also a foreign Dr licensed to practice here in South Africa. I have Ehlers Danlos Syndrome. A rare genetic disorder. This Specialist physician practices at Sandton Mediclinic. I feel exactly the same as these patients. Dr's bury their mistakes. There was a hearing with the HPCSA via teams. How this Dr says that he is not obligated to fill out any forms for anybody. Yet he treated my daughter for Ehlers Danlos Syndrome at Sandton Mediclinic. I am a civil servant , govt school teacher who is trying to retire medically on the grounds of ill health. If forms are not completed and sick notes not supplied by the physician my pension will be severely impacted. Blessings and thanks Miss S Williams
@@susanwilliams7814yes. We have a legal obligation to fill forms for the patient regarding their health if we were the ones taking care of the patient.
Unfortunately many specialists do not want to fill in forms mostly cause they do not have time. All you have to do is go to your GP & let him request all his notes, tests etc than you GP can do it & refer to the specialists notes. You GP can also help you to call the specialist & ask him to give you a appointment to fill in the forms. You will need to pay for a consultation. If the department or insurance wants a specialist to complete the forms you can find another specialist ( even if it's not one familiar with your disorder) to do it after you have all your file notes. If this is not viable you need to go make a affidavit with a Commissioner of oats stating that you tried getting the specialist to fill out the forms & he is unable or unwilling. Also write to the management of the hospital where he works. Mediclinic has patient liason officers that have to make sure their patients are happy. Put a complaint. Email them. You are not the only person having this same issue. Making a case with the HPCSA will not help you in your case. Edit: I manage a heakthcare centre & deal with oatients like you everyday. It can be sorted even without his help.
Kind of reminds me of Christopher Duntsch.... My heart aches for those who have lost their loved ones and those lives that were altered for the worst. 🥺
THE HPSCA is doing half work - I came across a "dr" posing as Pshyciatrist- had to supply them all the investigaton I did and it still took 2 years and spoon feeding them.
Boy said *"I'm putting a needle in the aneurysm, it should be fine but I just want to give you a forewarning."* What professional Dr speaks like that in a theatre? Shock😮
Being a former patient of Head and Brain Operation done at Vincent Pallotti Hospital Cape Town in year 2017 it brings me enormous pain to watch my South African brothers and sisters suffer from the unethical actions of a doctor that our medical system HPCSA - that we are suppose to take pride in - approve a doctor to be active in the MOTHERLAND. I fully and understand why the patients resist going back for a head or brain operation as ANY human being is bound to be sensitive with one of the most valuable organs being the brain that has previously been worked on badly. Hopefully Minister of Health get in contact with them to show support as that could possibly be the ONLY way of getting the patients comfortable to go back for operation in the MOTHERLAND.
This affected patients need fair legal representation even a class action!!! There are legal firms to do something for them all!!! Denounce is only a part to assist, looking for justice is a duty! Who is there to help this citizens??? South Africans are not second class people or guinea pigs!!!!
@@lillian9221 So HPCSA dont screen our top medics as they should but yet other medics are screened? Im a lab tech have been compliant and registered every year
@@steven320,for one, you want to hold an organization accountable, don't call the spokesperson.

Must be our south african version of catch me if you can.....😂 amazing how many bogus MDs we have in South Africa especially from foreign countries 😂😂😂 ayi satafrica
I had the same reaction when I heard his voice. Also heard a flicker of something else there. Strange. One way or the other, he needs to be arrested, face trial, and if convicted do a lengthy prison sentence for what he's done. And then get deported. But he must do jail time in South Africa, not America.⚖
Always do your own research about specialists before having major treatment. Don't be shy about getting a 2nd opinion either. I once turned down the most highly regarded specialist because it was obvious to me that this person was overworked and burnt-out. I was very happy with my second option.
From his accent, he's from here but he's faking an American accent by rolling his R sounds. He's left all the vowel sounds as local English-speaking South African.
If you need to use this level of protection to speakup against atrocities, somthing in the South African medical field are seriously criminally wrong.!!!!!!
As patients we should interview all medical professionals as to their background, degrees etc, where they studied and how well they past. Any operation/ performance that turned out incorrect/bad should not be paid for. If my car is not fixed I don't pay.
A pschotherapist in Pinelands got me admitted to a mental institution without a court order and incomplete form MHCA04.The department of health practice nr does not exist.I am suing this individual😢Spent 8 hrs in a mental institution with invalid docs
Not the first time the Health counsel is questiond for there rolle in upholding safety and professionalism. ????? When will the Public protector step in???????
How much did he pay to practice here in SA? Bribery & corruption is rife, so peoples lives are at stake with this drug addict doctor! Absolutely disgusting he should be arrested!
The last words the young boy said left me heavy-hearted and extremely dismayed. His words lingered on in my mind still minutes after the clip. I pray that more be done for his sake and others. Shame to HPCSA, what a disappointment yet again
What a shame. He is allowed to practice here, using South Africans as Guinea pigs but no repercussions. They say he is apparently skills without due diligence. American means you get free will
He messed up in America and lost his license he was never to practice again , but come to SA where all criminals run when they have open cases in their own countries
The HPCSA is there to cover the medical profession & make money, it is not concerned about patients at ALL. And they don't even keep records of complaints filed against a doctor!!!! I made a case against a gynaecologist who acted unethically - violation!!! - and the appointed attorney said to me, please know they will do everything in their power to destroy your confidence and your character, are you sure you want to pursue this matter?!!!! I dropped my pursuit of justice and that doctor is still out there doing this to the next victim. They, the HPCSA protect their clients ---> abusers. They don't protect patients, it is not their priority.
Extremely scary! There's another extremely similar case in America where a similar "doctor" received life without parole! In that case, a few of his patients died under operation! That"doctor" also came to practice in some African country after his licence was EVENTUALLY suspended in USA. Just like this case, he also worked in numerous hospitals in USA
This is not just one doctor in SA there are many who just don’t seem to know what they are doing. My son had a motor bike accident last year in Natal. This private hospital missed THREE BROKEN BONES and never checked for head or spinal injuries. We got him back to JHB to Milpark where competent doctors found what I suspected (I have no medical training) but his injuries were THAT obvious
Yah Neh , we allow criminals in this country!!, In other african countries they wouldn't even ask question they would just throw him in jail, Maybe the FBI should be alerted to come fetch him
He is qualified and lost that Australian top brain surgeon Charlie Teo is not allowed to practice in Australia without supervision but can practice internationally Its where did these cheats get there training ? On some innocent victim ? Did Charlie apologise for the traumas ? No These people don’t stop , they like to take risks and think they are smarter than law Well , the law will catch them I feel for this person suffering and hope that one day law is international, that having damaged human beings you are disqualified from any vulnerable person for life X
It msut be hard to eventually find out that you are not fit for the job, after you have trained for years to become a neurosurgeon! Yet, you simply cannot endanger patients, just because you don't want to admit your inaptitude to yourself. You retrain for a less demanding medical specialisation or an entirely different profession. Neurosurgery in particular carries a high potential of permanently messing up a person's mental capacity and personality, not to mention fatal outcomes due to negligence or injury of vital brain areas.
It’s the South African version of Dr Death. I would have thought if there is an investigation into a medical practitioner they should at least be suspended until the investigation concluded. It’s astounding! I had faith in our medical system until now, and I thought this sort of thing only happens in the US where you can move from state to state to dodge prosecution. Now we have to vet the doctors before we allow them to treat us. 😢
Even then most hispital do not even have a neurosurgeon. There is currently 3 working in the whole Northern Cape. That doesn't give patients much options.
We could and should do better in Africa. If a Speciality Doctor/ Physician got to the USA , the Doctor and Physician should have go back to school take exams and tests , work under some prominent Doctor before he could work all by himself. But here we are in Africa taking anyone in without a second thought. It is sad
I had a back operation from this dr in January. After my operation, my right leg, which was fine, collapsed. He told me it's an underlining problem. Five months later, i still can't use my right foot.

A pschotherapist in Pinelands got me admitted to a mental institution without a court order and incomplete form MHCA04.The department of health practice nr does not exist.I am suing this individual😢Spent 8 hrs in a mental institution with invalid docs
Yhis is so scary. I know how scary brain surgery is. I've had two brain surgeries. You honestly fear not coming out of it normal or at all.
Not the first time the Health counsel is questiond for there rolle in upholding safety and professionalism.
?????
When will the Public protector step in???????
How much did he pay to practice here in SA? Bribery & corruption is rife, so peoples lives are at stake with this drug addict doctor! Absolutely disgusting he should be arrested!
He can’t even identify tumor tissue? This is a quack.
The last words the young boy said left me heavy-hearted and extremely dismayed. His words lingered on in my mind still minutes after the clip.
I pray that more be done for his sake and others. Shame to HPCSA, what a disappointment yet again
Unfortunately it's the accent that makes them kings in Africa. Let him taste proper justice in Africa and those that allowed him to practice as well.
How did HR do background checks?
They obviously didnt.
People may have been paid
This Dr treated my wife and I would like to have her case investigated????
What a shame. He is allowed to practice here, using South Africans as Guinea pigs but no repercussions.
They say he is apparently skills without due diligence. American means you get free will
He messed up in America and lost his license he was never to practice again , but come to SA where all criminals run when they have open cases in their own countries
Oh my WORD😮 SHOCKING!!!!
The HPCSA is there to cover the medical profession & make money, it is not concerned about patients at ALL. And they don't even keep records of complaints filed against a doctor!!!! I made a case against a gynaecologist who acted unethically - violation!!! - and the appointed attorney said to me, please know they will do everything in their power to destroy your confidence and your character, are you sure you want to pursue this matter?!!!! I dropped my pursuit of justice and that doctor is still out there doing this to the next victim. They, the HPCSA protect their clients ---> abusers. They don't protect patients, it is not their priority.
The music is too loud, take it away or make it softer. 🙏
Extremely scary! There's another extremely similar case in America where a similar "doctor" received life without parole! In that case, a few of his patients died under operation! That"doctor" also came to practice in some African country after his licence was EVENTUALLY suspended in USA. Just like this case, he also worked in numerous hospitals in USA
Mom Marcia...shed a tear for u....eish! Lots of love n hope for u❤❤
How many others are hiding in plain sight?
To to to many 😢
This is not just one doctor in SA there are many who just don’t seem to know what they are doing.
My son had a motor bike accident last year in Natal. This private hospital missed THREE BROKEN BONES and never checked for head or spinal injuries. We got him back to JHB to Milpark where competent doctors found what I suspected (I have no medical training) but his injuries were THAT obvious
Yah Neh , we allow criminals in this country!!, In other african countries they wouldn't even ask question they would just throw him in jail, Maybe the FBI should be alerted to come fetch him
South Africa is truely lawless and corupt. How can you register someone who's liscence was revoked. This country just keeps getting worse.
He is qualified and lost that
Australian top brain surgeon Charlie Teo is not allowed to practice in Australia without supervision but can practice internationally
Its where did these cheats get there training ? On some innocent victim ? Did Charlie apologise for the traumas ? No
These people don’t stop , they like to take risks and think they are smarter than law
Well , the law will catch them
I feel for this person suffering and hope that one day law is international, that having damaged human beings you are disqualified from any vulnerable person for life
X
I thought of him when I saw this, too, as well as Christopher Duntsch.
HPCSA... how/why/where did this Dr get his accreditation?
Any update on this story.?
Alot of these doctor's need to be exposed no man this is not on😢
It msut be hard to eventually find out that you are not fit for the job, after you have trained for years to become a neurosurgeon!
Yet, you simply cannot endanger patients, just because you don't want to admit your inaptitude to yourself. You retrain for a less demanding medical specialisation or an entirely different profession.
Neurosurgery in particular carries a high potential of permanently messing up a person's mental capacity and personality, not to mention fatal outcomes due to negligence or injury of vital brain areas.
Yes its a highly skilled field & not many Drs can enter it successfully. The 1st thing a Dr needs to know is Do no harm.
He should be suspended and permanently banned from practicing he is playing with people's life
He should be held accountable.
Re tloo bolawa ke international qualifications and experience 😭😭😭😭
What person in his right mind goes and opens up people's brains knowing full well you are not qualified to do so🤬🤬🤬
It’s the South African version of Dr Death. I would have thought if there is an investigation into a medical practitioner they should at least be suspended until the investigation concluded. It’s astounding! I had faith in our medical system until now, and I thought this sort of thing only happens in the US where you can move from state to state to dodge prosecution. Now we have to vet the doctors before we allow them to treat us. 😢
Even then most hispital do not even have a neurosurgeon. There is currently 3 working in the whole Northern Cape. That doesn't give patients much options.
We could and should do better in Africa. If a Speciality Doctor/ Physician got to the USA , the Doctor and Physician should have go back to school take exams and tests , work under some prominent Doctor before he could work all by himself. But here we are in Africa taking anyone in without a second thought. It is sad
Why do people not heed the warning never to start smoking? When you get to this stage, it is too late...
How can we get justice.
What are the latest updates? We seriously need to know what has been happening. This is VERY serious!
I had a back operation from this dr in January. After my operation, my right leg, which was fine, collapsed. He told me it's an underlining problem. Five months later, i still can't use my right foot.
I would go get a second opinion. That sounds like “drop foot” and normally happens after the nerves have been damaged in surgery.
@nicolenestuart2917 Thank you, I will do
We really do not have skilled back surgeons in S.Africa.
nah they should SUE the Health department
We have to change the name to Health Unprofessional Council.😢
SO WHY DIDNT OTHER MEDICS SENT AN ANON EMAIL VIA GMAIL TO MEDICAL BOARD TO BRING TO LIGHT HIS DOINGS?????????????????????
Just watch Dr Death also a neurosurgeon send to jail in Texas
Thought of him while watching this, too: Christopher Duntsch.
