Hi there! Just a correction - I accidentally pronounced Farid Fata’s last name incorrectly in this video. Also, my apologies for the video quality of my talking footage looking rough. This was my third time re-filming this as I was having some major technical difficulties with the camera I was using. Anyway, it is currently Blood Cancer Awareness month and as a blood cancer patient myself, I’m glad to shed light on one of the most twisted cases of the blood cancer doctor who harmed and poisoned several patients. Hope you enjoy and let me know your thoughts on this case.🤎
Hello! Fellow blood cancer patient here... I was diagnosed with MDS- Myelodysplastic Syndrome back in 2015, been going through various treatments & many blood transfusions since. It seems certain treatments get my blood counts under control, but their effectiveness eventually wears off & I'm back to needing frequent transfusions again. All in all though, I've managed to hang on much longer than I'd expected to. I'm fortunate to have the most amazing doctor at the Hillman Cancer Center in Pittsburgh, PA. His name is James Rossetti, & I absolutely love him & totally trust him with my life. He was my husband's doctor first... he had leukemia (ALL), back in 2005, & Dr. Rossetti & his team pulled him through, even though it was a very difficult case. It gave us 15 years we thought we wouldn't have. The "doctor" in this video is absolutely evil. I can't imagine a doctor treating their patients like this guy did. He deserves to rot in prison til his dying day. What was he thinking?? I enjoyed this video very much. You are very well spoken & your presentation was well detailed. I will subscribe. I wish you much success with growing your channel. 😊
One diligent nurse noticed malpractice after ONE day on the job and swiftly reported him to the authorities. Unless all of his other nurses were new graduates, I don't understand why they would let him get away with this. This really makes me trust medical professionals even less, knowing how much they will keep quiet as patients are being actively harmed. The doctor who investigated him wasn't even going to report him, he was just going to quit and leave!
For sure - I was definitely wondering more about the nurses. I’m for sure thinking a lot of them could’ve been recent graduates and were unaware that the doses were too high since Farid made it seem like it was a normal protocol but I’m not sure. I think I explained it a bit weird but Dr. Maunglay had actually already put in his resignation letter before he discovered Monica’s misdiagnosis. He was resigning due to Farid lying about enrolling the office in a program that they weren’t actually in and then it was after that when he discovered that in addition Farid was mistreating patients. And so he spent his last month trying to investigate some more and talking with the office manager so that he’d be able to gather enough information for a proper report it before he left.
It's entirely possible he targeted new grad nurses only. And without any experience, a new nurse questioning such a known doctor would probably look and feel weird. I'm sure in hindsight, they suddenly understood.
@@PetalPalmer Ah, thank you for clarifying I was so worked up about the nurses I must've assumed the other doctor was just keeping his head down and leaving quietly too...
Hey there, I’m not that trusting of medical staff myself due to multiple instances where they’ve treated me horrendously. If you have an illness that doesn’t have a clear cut way for treatment or a cure, you’re usually in for a shitty ride, but saying that, I believe the lady (petal) mentioned that the asshole doctor mostly hired low paid international staff 25:45 and not even for important stuff. He would see up to 70 patients a day and would not let any other doctors treat them. I’m not dissolving them by any means, like I said this hush hush culture, especially with “celebrity doctor’s”, is disgusting, but I don’t know for sure if this was the case here. But you’re definitely right that alot of people have the attitude of just “not wanting to get involved “, and just wanting to leave, no matter what oath they took. SMH 🤦🏼♀️
My friend was a victim/patient of this monster. He gave her more than twice the dose of chemotherapy she needed. He called her his miracle patient- probably because she survived. She had to retrieve her medical records from the FBI when the case was over. I thank God this horrible man didn’t kill my friend and she is here enjoying young grandchildren even while grieving her fellow cancer fighters that were his victims. ❤
One of my friends had cancer and he was only getting the normal doses of chemotherapy and he said it was worse than the cancer I could not imagine how bad to much would be
My partners father was a victim of this man his family got a settlement out of it, but no amount of money can fix the suffering he caused. He passed away in 2009...
This Dr. Maunglay is such a hero, honestly. Good for him for having the courage to tell the patient the truth, even going against his own boss - so many people wouldn't do that, they'd either be too afraid, or they'd be willing to go along with it to make money, etc. I really respect this doctor for actually taking his job as a physician seriously.
Same goes for the nurse, as well. She's awesome for immediately reporting him - though I'm not surprised the medical board did nothing. It's INSANE the stuff they can see and still let a doctor continue to harm people.
This is my first time hearing you. I see your channel is very new. Your research and presentation are phenomenal!!! I hope you have a lot of success, strength, and continue to educate us.
This is so horrible. I had a round of IVIG. Each infusion cost me over $7000 and my body went into shock. I can’t imagine going through that unnecessarily.
Oh my that sounds awful, sorry you had to go through that. And gosh that is so expensive. It's horrible so many people went through these treatments for no reason.
Thats horrible that your body reacted that way to IVIG that way. I've had to IVIG several times as well and each time I had it I ended up feeling really good afterwards but that only lasted about 24 hours, and then I'd go back to feeling like my crappyself again, lol.
I worked for one of the best cancer centers in my state. What bothered me so much was our oncologists knowingly could have saved more lives if they referred some of the patients to Duke. They knew there were treatments available in Duke, that we didnt offer, which could have saved lives of many of the patients who died! But like the doctors said, "everytime a patient steps thru that door, thats an automatic $12,000 bill." I find it sickening how lives mean nothing to doctors who have no ties or attachment to the patient
I once worked at a hospital where a heart surgeon was making patients crash so he could "rescue" them. Administration looked the other way at first because he was bringing so much money into the hospital, and then word got out in the community that this hospital had a heart surgeon who was killing people. This place already had one medical serial killer (although he's not believed to have actually killed anyone there) so they really didn't need another. Last I heard, he's STILL PRACTICING! This doctor sounds like he may have had some version of Munchausen's syndrome.
My mother died as a direct result from medical malpractice at 57 in Kelowna general hospital in Kelowna BC Canada. They made her suffer for weeks until she passed. You can’t trust medical professionals in any goddamn country. You just have to hope and pray that the one that you have is doing the right thing. I believe that every one of them will eventually answer for what they have done on the day that they die on judgement day. They will likely burn in hell for eternity just for the money they made here on earth.
What Dr. Fareed did was downright evil. My grandma died after being treated for lung cancer that had metastasisized and spread to her brain. She was 85 and had already survived breast cancer 10 years before and open heart surgery only 2 years before. Her own parents died horrible deaths post chemo but her oncology advised she and my uncle and mother who were present that "today's [2016] chemo & radiation is much more advanced than the treatment back then so she will tolerate this treatment well." So instead of palliative care she was put on an aggressive treatment protocol. Before this she was mostly wheelchair bound due to Venus insufficientcy but was happy and still herself. She could read, go out with family, the month before being diagnosed she flew from Arizona to New York to see her cousin who she grew up with who was like a sister to her. Her cousin suffered from dementia but my grandma loved her so and kept in touch by phone until she couldn't communicate like that anymore and my grandma planned and took the last trip to see her. Her cousin couldn't understand much but my grandma sat with her and held her hand quietly, speaking occasionally in a soft tone. She didn't end it with goodbye, she said see you later. Then after that she went to Disneyland with several of her grandkids. Then the treatment started. She wanted to see the beach one more time but after the treatment began she deteriorated rapidly. She lost so much weight and could barely eat and went from plump to frail and looking like a skeleton in a matter of months. She always loved Starwars and the franchise had just been rebooted and I wanted to take her but work ruined my plans one night and after that it was too late because every night after that she was too sick. (To this day I regret putting work first. It was only one day but I feel like I lost so much). At this point her body was failing rapidly but then they started radiation and it was like they turned that up to 11 and stole her mind and joy as well. After radiation started she didn't tolerate it for long before they put her on hospice where she was delirious and in pain. Crying for her mother. I'd come to read to her and could tell that she wasn't really able to absorb what I was saying but I think she liked hearing my voice there anyway. Finally she died but not before being robbed of her dignity and joy and multiple final bucket list items (to see the beach, visit her cousin again, go see Starwars) all of which were attainable if she hadn't been put on a treatment that was inappropriate to start with. I don't know why they did that to her instead of putting her on palliative care except for to gain thousands from medicaid from the treatment that made her final months torture. It didn't have to be like that. She could have been put on a hospice plan and continued enjoying her life and family in her last year but that oncologist's greed stole that from her and our family.
I’m very very sorry. I read every word, I work in hospice and this broke my heart. I’ve never seen a star wars movie but I’ll give it a shot on behalf of your grandma.It’s sick and twisted when healthcare workers abuse the trust given to them all for paper that is dyed green. Shame on them
You are a good grandkid. I was s close to my grandmother and in her last days it was nothing like this and I still felt so guilty too. I literally went nuts. I'm sorry you went through that and I love how you care so much. My grandmother also loved star wars.
You brought tears to my eyes. I am so sorry for your loss and how things transpired. My aunt was diagnosed with lung cancer at 89. She never smoked but my uncle did for years. They ran all these treatment protocols by her and she flat out said no. She stayed in her home until she went into hospice. My father started having problems at 90. He had recovered from lymphoma seven years before but with deficits from the treatment that really bothered him. They started doing tests and one day he went down to the office in his assisted living and signed up for hospice. The doctors were all bent out of shape but both of them felt they had had a full life and didn't want the indignity. The doctors, hospitals and drug makers all make a fortune off bullying the elderly and their families into highly toxic chemo and debilitating radiation protocols. I've known much younger stronger people that were wiped out by this stuff. I'm really sorry she missed her bucket list items, she sounds like an awesome person I'd have been honored to know.
Same thing happened to my dad, almost. He suffered ever since treatment. But his cancer was aggressive as well. Now my stepmom is stuck with $13,000 in medical bills which his life insurance will all go towards. I miss my dad so much. I’m glad he didn’t go through with the radiation. He was too weak and still they wanted to put him through it. The worst part was seeing him in all that pain. It was hard to tell what was from the cancer and what was from treatment. His last words to me were “I love you, so much”. He died on July 25, of this year.
@@MermaidMakes I am sorry for your loss. I still find myself reaching for the phone on Sunday afternoon when I used to call my dad him every week. It's really hard. I'm glad your dad said no to the radiation if he was weak and I'm glad you have such wonderful last words to remember.
Im on a breast cancer journey. Treatments like radiation, chemo etc are brutal. Having your body poisoned unneccesarily is inhumane. What an evil evil man. BTW I hope you are doing well. Im so glad to have discovered your channel 😃
my mother is going to be breast cancer free for 2 years this thanksgiving. i wish you luck on your journey, its tough and not easy but it is possible to pull through. soon you will be celebrating being cancer free. dont forget you have many people in your corner who will aid you no matter what ❤
My mother BEAT breast cancer years ago before she sadly passed away from medical malpractice. I send you all of my strength and positive healing vibes your way. Everyone is rooting for you girl❤
I would strongly recommend to look up water fasting + chemo, you should do some research yourself, and not take my word for it, but to round it up: ALOT of cancers, lose their protective ability that healthy cells utilize when we are fasting, so combine that with chemo and you'll be killing alot more cancer cells, key is to achieve autophagy
My aunt was told she had colon cancer and had a few months left to live, she changed doctor and turns out she just had constipation, it’s scary how these things happen.
As a nurse I was so proud that it was a nurse who had originally caught on to the scam… we are taught to think critically and to question orders/ interventions as appropriate as our patients well being is at stake… this is a painful lesson of if you see something unsafe say something ! No matter your role In health care - Whether a RN, MD, CNA, US…. Speak up ! It can be hard - especially with attendings and the surgical specialty particularly as they tend to be so dismissive and flippant and overall confident not to mention. Their experience it can be very intimidating … but lives are on the line .. I always tell my new grad RNs never hesitate to question orders and seek confirmation from more experienced nurses …. Never let doctors intimidate you into silence ! Half the time they’re putting in orders wrong or trying to follow the wrong protocols and it’s up to us to catch and correct it ! We are the last line and we have to hold strong !
Fellow blood cancer patient here & i agree with you - just trying to get through the regular chemotherapy protocols is hard enough! It's sometimes absolute hell itself & can really make a person feel like they are dying (and the depression caused by it is dark!); So what this creature did to all of it's unsuspecting victims, is beyond comprehensible. Evil doesn't even begin to describe the repercussions that every single one of them has had to endure. Anyhow, rant over - You did a lovely job and i must say that I've never heard of this case before, so kudos to you for bringing it! 👏
So true - the physical and mental side effects from chemotherapy are just awful. It’s hard to fathom somebody would intentionally have several people go through this unnecessarily. And aww thank you so much, I really appreciate that! :)
Exactly. I’ve had leukemia for a little over a year now, and while watching this video, I was reflecting over how badly the normal chemo protocol has affected me and many others who have been through chemo treatments… I couldn’t imagine how much worse it would be to go through more chemo than was necessary!! It’s a miracle that more of his patients didn’t die… shame on him and any other “doctor” like him.
my grandmother was one of his victims. she was undergoing treatment and at one point was doing so well and wanted to stop, but she was then switched to his facility and he insisted keeping her on the treatment, and even upping the dosage. obviously it made her decline to the point where her body could no longer handle it. my dad lost his last living parent which really took a toll on him that is still apparent today. i miss her, her shelves full of trinkets, sharing stories back and forth over dinner, her dogs that she loved so dearly. i wish i got to know her better, as i was still pretty young when she passed. my dad’s side of the family has now become skeptical of doctors and modern medicine because of this, and while i’m concerned for them, i completely understand why. may you suffer forever farid fata.
His story reminds me of what my aunt passed while treating a throat cancer. She had to go through radiation and the doctors said the number of sessions was a protocol, no matter the cancer stage nor the patients condition, in that clinic all went through 30 sessions. It was too much. She's alive and cancer free nowadays, but she presents such an extreme degree of bone/teeth decay that always gets doctors/dentists impressed. Since she was no patient of Dr. Farid (we're brazilian) it makes me think that this specific kind of malpractice, the overpoisoning of cancer patients, may be more common than we think.
@@thelegioncollective Yes, the clinic said they worked this way. If she didnt agree, she had basically to quit her treatment. For context, people are sent to places like this by a "queue" system stablished by the public healthcare. It’s some kind of partnership that happens between some private clinics and the public healthcare. Refusing this treatment would mean to be placed in the end of the queue again, wait months to be sent to any clinic/hospital that matched her needs and since the referrals are based on the place you live, she probably would be sent to this same "protocol" clinic.
I can't think of where I saw it, but someone said that three things should never be run for profit: education, incarceration, and healthcare. Good luck with your own treatment. I hope you kick cancer's butt.
Most definitely - it’s so weird that places like hospitals are often considered a profitable business as opposed to a healthcare facility for treating patients. And thank you so much, I appreciate that! :)
Giving IVG treatment when not necessary is actually dangerous because one can have reactions even anaphylaxis. I was to have 6 treatments but I had reactions to two treatments and stopped. IVG is VERY VERY EXPENSIVE.
What a monster!! My husband is a cancer survivor and he went through many months of hell with his chemotherapy treatments. So severe that he still has CPTSD to this day. To think that a doctor would deliberately poison and traumatize his patients - especially the ones that didn't actually have cancer - is wicked and vile. Also have to mention that I love your channel! Can't wait to see what other stories you have to tell in the future.
Yeah. I can't imagine going through that. What he did was just flat-out despicable. ... And as for your husband, I hope he's doing okay. I can imagine how traumatic his experience was. 😞😓
My stepmom was misdiagnosed by him shortly before everything came out. I honestly think you'd be hard-pressed to find anyone in Southeastern Michigan who doesn't know someone conned by him.
@@charliegruchy530 that's my point here. There's a level of trust in the medical field that, from one doctor to another, you trust that the specialist you're referring a patient to is doing what they're supposed to be doing
That's not how the process works in America. You see a weird test result in a primary care facility, you refer to a specialist who can better figure out what exactly is going on -- that's their entire job. As for Farid's nurses and fellow doctors, yeah, they need to be investigated. They were in the position to both see the pain inflicted by Farid and had the knowledge to know that these patients didn't have cancer.
@@kh22912yup, because otherwise you'd be the specialist. The specialist has (supposedly) the training and expertise to do a proper job, just as the generalist has at their job.
For a LOT of creators I have to speed up the video to 1.25, when you started I had to check it was on normal! Your speed is awesome. Love the detail! Love it. You're doing an amazing job. My adhd/tism APPROVED! thank you! It's rare to find a narrated video that's my speed naturally!❤
Aww I’m so glad to hear that - thank you so much! I always try to speak as natural and as close to my normal talking speed as possible so I’m really glad you enjoyed it. :)
As a nurse this really makes my stomach turn, knowing what side effects these medications will cause. It saddens me how so many nurses didn't speak up or really did not understand how these treatments were unneccesary, but I can kind of see how it could happen. The thing is that treatment protocols really do vary from one institution to another a lot and it is nothing out of the ordinary. Then it's also very difficult to go against a person of authority who knows they are doing wrong, since they would be able to document the treatments in a way that would make them seem valid even to other professionals. Still, it should speak to you as a human when a patient is suffering so badly, it should make you question if this is the right treatment for them.
From my own personal experience watching my big brother go through treatment for testicular cancer.. was awful, 10 years later I still have my own trauma from seeing the effects of these hugely destructive medications.. I can't understand how the victims of this horrible crime coped. No person going through those health scares do NOT deserve to have their medications adulterated. Thankyou for making this informative video! Can't wait to watch this channel go big ❤
So sorry to hear about your brother. I hope he’s doing much better now and I hope that you’re doing well also. Ah I know right - it’s absolutely terrifying and horrible that this happened to so many people. And thank you so much for the support, it truly means a lot.❤️
@PetalPalmer luckily with modern medications (that weren't messed with!!) He's been in remission since his treatment stopped. I hope your treatment is just as successful and one day we can get to hear about your experiences during and after treatment. Can I also say, as a huge true crime buff, I am super excited too see what other great content you are yet to make! The field of medicine still has so many grey area's with serious under reporting.. Keep up the brilliant work. 💙💙
@@emmyheartsyouall I’m so glad to hear that! Ah yes, I’m most definitely looking forward to the day I’m finally done with treatments! Yes! That’s definitely one of the main reasons I wanted to start creating these videos. There’s so many stories relating to the medical field and healthcare that are very important yet they’re hardly covered, or I at least had a hard time finding many people who cover cases like these. So I’m definitely looking forward to continue researching and sharing these stories on here! Thank you for your kind words, I really appreciate it :)
My grandma died in 2004 from lung and bone cancer and underwent aggressive chemo. We're from the metro Detroit area and just finding this out makes me feel... wrong...
He was definitely a monster! Unfortunately he was caught too late for so many victims 😢 Looking forward to seeing more videos from you ! You have a wonderful speaking voice and really bring us in with the story Just brighten up your screen a bit 😊
I know right, it's so sad that he got away with so much. And thank you so much for your kind words and tips! I have some new filming equipment coming in soon, so definitely looking forward to the quality + lighting improving in the next videos 😌
We do our children wrong to tell them there are no such things as monsters, yet most of us do it in innocence...either we think it's best not to scare a child or we honestly believe it ourselves ...but it's still a dangerous, dangerous lie. Maybe we should teach children young that monsters, most of the time, look just like the rest of us. Then maybe, just maybe, when kids grow up to be adults, they will look a little (or a lot) closer into the history of their medical practitioners, therapists, service people, landlords, educators, etc...anyone they need to be able to trust. There is nothing wrong with trust coming on the heels of verification, is there?
That’s so true. It’s so easy to feel like one could trust somebody like a physician, especially with all of the years of studying and practice they put into becoming one. But regardless of one’s career, there are evil people everywhere so unfortunately not everyone can be trusted even if they take the Hippocratic oath to do no harm. I think as times have now changed and we’re now in the internet and social media era, things should hopefully be a lot better as people are likely able to do more thorough research on their medical providers, landlords, educators etc. online and are able to communicate with several others virtually on their experiences with said provider.
I remember vividly a book my mother gave me and my sister when we were very little that has stayed relevant even now into my adult years. The mother bear in the Bernstein bears is cutting up apples and shows her daughter an oddly shaped one. I don't remember what she said but the lesson was about not assuming someone is good based on appearance. She cuts open the apple and the inside is perfect. She cuts open a pretty apple and the inside is full of worms. Very simple way to encourage kids to be wary regardless of appearance.
@someoneelse4710 Sounds like a pretty good lesson to teach children regarding being aware of signs that someone may not be who they are on the outside.
I think that people should teach wariness - we focus on stranger danger but cover up the danger when it's inside the house. We uplift the beautiful and demonize the ugly, and those who are different - when all too often the danger comes from conformity and those we hold highly.
There was also another ‘doctor’ in Texas who committed the most heinous crimes against his patients. He and his wife were from Iran. They came to America later in life and he opened a huge cancer clinic with a hematology clinic, where he would work up his own patients instead of having to send them across town for bloodwork at the hospital. One day, a lady who had recently been diagnosed with stage 4 cancer, was returning from a trip and fell over her luggage, breaking her leg. She was taken to a hospital close to her home. She was seen by a doctor who just so happened to work at the same cancer clinic of the Iranian doctor and he was comparing her chart from their cancer laboratory to the hospital lab results. She didn’t have cancer. The doctor was fixing lab work to show positive cancer. The doctor was shocked and he knew immediately his colleague was committing medical fraud. There were many people hurt by this cancer doctor. He and his wife fled back to Iran.
Maybe you're thinking of the same doctor profiled in this video? Aside from the country the doctor immigrated from, the details of both the doctor you mention and the doctor from this video are identical. What are the odds two different oncology doctors had fraudulent practices foiled by a female patient tripping over her suitcase and breaking a leg?
@@rachelnotluf4585 I agree. I tried to search for this Iranian doctor case but I couldn’t find anything. Seems the OP may have heard the case in the video before and misremembered the details, and ended up thinking it was a separate case when it’s the same.
Ok....i watched your video about the neurosurgeon this morning...you had less than 800 subscribers. I'm watching this one at noon...you have gained nearly 200 subscribers since then!!! Good for you!
i’m a biochem student, and though i’m not predmed, i’m obsessed with all things medical. i also love true crime. your channel is such a wonderful combination of those things, and your storytelling is amazing. i also really like your voice and personality! your videos are great to listen to.
My heart goes out to you! I used to be a nurse and it is heartbreaking to see these stories of unscrupulous medical professionals. I was fortunate to work with physicians that I respected. I hope your journey to wellness is safe and enduring. Keep yourself educated on your disease process. And the treatments. You are your own best advocate!
Thank you so much for the support! It definitely is sad to see bad apples like this using their position to commit such horrible crimes. But it is definitely amazing being able to work with healthcare professionals who are compassionate and genuinely enjoy what they do in helping others!
The evil ex-doctor got 45 years in jail. For patients, be sure to carefully review all of your biopsy results. If it doesnt make sense, get a second opinion from an oncologost at a different hospital. Sad that he harmed so many, just for money. And sad that the first time he was reported, nothing happened.
Ok WAY off topic but -- "Petal Palmer" is such a badass name. It's clearly a superhero's alter ego. You don't have to reveal your secret identity, I'll just go ahead and thank you for keeping the world safe and battling villains when you're not YouTubing
Wow Petal what a great video. You only have six videos but I can tell your channel will go far. I look forward to watching your videos and being here to support you. God bless.
I’m from the area where he did this and it completely shocked the community. He was so well known and well regarded in the area that people truly couldn’t believe he would do this. It was horrible. Really great video. Thanks for your research and hard work.
Nurses are frequently ignored. Historically women in a male-dominated field would simply be shutdown. But I'm telling you it's often nurses who know something isn't right and will warn you. Like the nurse who tried to raise the alarm on the doctor who ignored child abuse to prove a medical theory when the reality was, their mother was killing them. The nurses knew and they knrw thr current baby was going to be dead shortly on returning home and sure enough. You can see that nurse's anger when she's interviewed about that famous case.
In Germany there was a case recently of a pharmacist who diluted the chemo he sold. All to enhance his profits. It's uncertain how many people died as a direct result of them getting chemo with little to no active ingredients. Edit: oops, not recent, in 2016. He got 12 years but tried to appeal the verdict.
Who do we trust anymore! When i worked in the pharmacy at the hospital only the pharmacist (sp) come mix the chemo, so who knows maybe this is happening in more places, cause as a pharmacy tech i made up other iv bags in the hospital but was to,d to make up the chemo bags the control was different , very interesting
An American doctor did the exact same thing. Apparently it's more common than we'd like to think. It's something that is incredibly hard to prove, so we probably will never know how often it occurs.
Dr.Maunglay is definitely a hero here..as a cancer survivor myself I was diagnosed with reproductive cancer in 2020 and got proper treatment and I'm cancer free.. I'm also a neuro surgery recipient for a severe spine illness , and I just got done with your story about that crooked neurosurgeon in Colorado and Dr.M's case really nauseated me..and it's nuts hearing stories like these and having things in common with the victims..i thank God my oncologist and neurosurgeon were great and stand up fellows..but this is sick and disgusting..and not being funny but this loser ( Medical . Dunce ,md.Fata) makes Dr.Nick Rivera from the Simpsons seem like Dr.Albert Schweitzer...the audacity of these shady medical practitioners..and I just discovered your channel and I must say your research and thouroughness & Video is well done..and the " European protocol" thats B.S...cause the protocol for cancer treatment in Europe is the same in America and the world if the hospital is properly facilitated. Please excuse my lack of punctuation my eyesights isn't the best and take care and God bless and I sincerely hope you feel better and I wish you well on your cancer journey and you get better yourself 😊
@@PetalPalmeranyway you could to a tutorial. Id love to make my own channel and admire you. Been through a lot wnd conventional jobs dont work, so ive been close to homelessness for a while now. Would be a blessing to be able to work from my phone. Would never copy you. Just need some guidance
Your sub count has gone up by almost 1,000 in the two hours since I found your channel. That's an amazing jump for such a new channel. 🎉 As a victim of medical negligence from a doctor who was never held accountable for my injury and is still practicing 20 years later, I really appreciate you covering these stories.
I run into all kinds of medical horror stories in the comments of TH-cam videos. She covers her topics really well and has a great narrator style, so I'm willing to bet her count will go up even more. Can you imagine, it's been 20 years since your negligence and how many people there are like you from your doctor and so many other doctors over that time. It's still happening because my malpractice story is only a years and a half old. She won't run out of material, for sure!
@@angelachouinard4581 Medical negligence and malpractice goes under the radar way too often, and doctors are protected by diffuse responsibility and the inherent confidentiality of the profession, I think Petal Palmer is doing a great job of hitting on an under-represented topic (edit: I can see why the channel is growing quickly)
Both my parents were killed by med staff, died 10 days apart. Dad was being transported needs oxygen 24/7. Transporters EMS said he didn't need for shor6run, he was fighting to breath, I began to panic, they kept telling me it was only anxiety. He suffocated in front of me. His dr is furious. Mom was hospi7for perforated colon, the torture they put her through is too much to list. Then she was neglected because she wasn't jumping through the nurses hoops fast enough, he refused to treat her, ignoring drs orders. They also ignored her advance directive. They refused us contact with her and they never informed us she died. No one will help us to have licenses of those involved revoked. It's almost 2 yrs and we're told we have to hurry or the courts will be locked forever. If I knew what to do I go to court without a lawyer!
@@captainmeowsers8050 that's what we said but no one will take an interest. We all die but the way it happened was totally unnecessary/avoidable. Thank you for reaching out
Another great video! Thank you! I’m a Nurse and it’s flabbergasting how long he got away with this. Those poor patients! Insurance premiums are high and they don’t cover some treatments because of fraud like this!
I’m not sure if you can relate to this, but you know sometimes when you see someone you don’t know and you just have the strongest urge to give them a hug because you can just feel how kind their heart is? This is my first time watching you and I’m having that feeling and I just want to let you know you gained an immediate subscriber !! Thank you for the video :-)
Hi Petal! First I wanted to say I love your name and it seems so fitting for you. You are really great at storytelling and I love your voice. You have a very soothing tone. Lastly, I love love your decor in the background. Totally my vibe!
I’m an IVIG patient and have been on this treatment for over a decade. For my condition, I will have to be on IVIG for the rest of my life. I infuse weekly, and the cost of the medication, as you said, is $1,000+ per treatment. This medication is life saving for those that need it, and the fact that he was giving this medication to people who were not in need of it is mind boggling. Thank you for sharing this story! My heart goes out to those that were affected by this monster.
My mother is an RN and did Oncology Hospice the majority of her Career. So Oncology has a close place in my heart. I know the pain cancer can cause on the patient and families. The fact this man got away with such egregious things under the disguise as a white coat is a disgrace
My grandma died at 81 from metastatic stomach cancer. Her oncologist didn’t talk to her like a human being. He told everything to us and hardly looked at her. At least he recommended hospice so she could go peacefully the way she wanted. I am disgusted by how some doctors take advantage of vulnerable patients. Your message is so needed!
😳 Wow... Chemo is horrible.. and costly! I can't imagine anyone going through it unnecessarily.. 💝 Ps: Beautiful content presentation. You have no unnecessary details, yet you remain engaging. 💐🙏🏾
This is such an underrated channel! Your editing and presentation is so professional, and I really appreciate the amount of empathy you put in to telling these stories! Keep up the good work, I cannot wait to see what you do next.
Great that you put forward this information. There seems to be a flaw in the system that allows one doctor to be involved in all the different levels of diagnosis , treatment, care, and then even hospice. There is so much conflict of interest when a psychopathic crook is given free rein to wreak such havoc. The medical establishment should be investigated. They too are out of control.
I’ve been binging your channel and you are so well researched, well spoken, respectful of the victims in these cases, and caring. I hope to see you grow to an even wider audience❤
Wow this is crazy. As someone who struggles w medical issues I’m definitely going to be subscribing!! I’d love to see a video from you about Endometriosis at some point. I have this disease and the amount of medical malpractice women deal with (including myself) in trying to get diagnosed is outrageous! I think your channel would be a great way to raise awareness! :)
don’t have endo as far as im aware but I’ve got fibro and holy shit. medical malpractice is so common amongst women. went in for chronic pain. had one blood test done. no referrals no nothing except suggesting going on antidepressants (I DON’T HAVE CLINICAL DEPRESSION.) got told I was nothing but sensitive. only via a physiotherapist did I learn just what the fuck was wrong with me. AFTER NEARLY TWO YEARS STRAIGHT OF BEING IN PAIN. can’t sue or do shit because it looks like nothing is wrong
I was in pain, throwing up and fainting every month for over a year, and they told me nothing is wrong. After 2 years, they diagnosed me with 4th stage endo
I second this. Took 8 years to get diagnosed because every gynecologist i spoke to refused to do the diagnosis hysteroscopy just because i was ‘too young’. Even though i’ve had chronic pain and uncontrollable periods for years. And the only thing anyone ever wants to prescribe for treatment are useless antidepressants and opiates (which are highly addictive, dangerous, and stop you from functioning normally in your daily life)
@@EosinophyllisI suggest you read what medical malpractice means before throwing jabs at doctors for it. Im guessing by your statement that your disease is fibromyalgia (You say Fibro and endo as if a prefix suffices to explain which medical condition you speak of), which is a hard enough to diagnose disease in many, and just as hard to treat. Not every physician deals with patients with "Fibro" on a day to day, or even month to month basis, which is why its a disease that goes under the radar quite often. Some physiotherapists may actually have several fibromyalgic patients, so they may recognise the symptoms with more ease than most physicians. Also note that antidepressants ARE part of the array of drugs used to treat fibromyalgia. Antidepressants are actually used for several chronic pain related illnesses. So now that youve (hopefully) read up on the term medical malpractice, and understand a teeny bit more about your disease, are you still so sure yours was a case of malpractice?
@@fmazerolol I see what you’re saying, and it is definitely important to understand the definition of medical malpractice, however, the rest of your comment was really dismissive and condescending. If a dr incorrectly diagnoses you, you could have a medical malpractice case. If a dr fails to order the proper testing, you could have a medical malpractice case, etc. Medical malpractice is not a one size fits all term, as there are so many different kinds of medical malpractice, you just need a good lawyer to be able to undeniably prove it. Also, Fibromyalgia is a very common condition to have, so it’s really not an excuse for a doctor to not “know” much about it. It is literally in their job description to be educated and aware of these things, and if they don’t have the answers, then their job is to refer the patient to another doctor who might. Historically, women have been given the diagnosis of “mentally ill” time and time again, have been diagnosed with some & their pain has been dismissed because of this. Women literally used to get diagnosed with “female hysteria.” To assume a patient is dealing with clinical depression instead of acknowledging that they are feeling real physical pain is irresponsible. It doesn’t matter if the treatment is the same or not, its negligent to be treat a patient without the right diagnosis. I suggest YOU stop judging people’s medical issues & situations based off of one youtube comment before making such condescending remarks.
I had to get a few infusions for a non cancer condition. Even the lady at the front desk was willing to mention her concerns when she noticed the procedure was scheduled to take longer then normal. The reason was all the checks and balences the facility does before a needle gets anywhere near the patient. So if a desk clerk is willing to question the doctor theres no excuse for other doctors and nurses to raise concerns.
Having worked with far too many healthcare insurance agents and doctors, I can tell you that unless he was falsifying their charts, they could have caught him trivialy and didn't.
32:03 oh sweety, you're on chemo? I'm sorry sweety. I'm medically complex/ genetically& chronically ill.. I hope you are feeling WELL, and that IF there is recovery for you, that its SWIFT. If there are just treatments for you, may they work WELL, and may you FEEL well.🤟🏽 you did amazing on this video, instant follow. Hang in there beauty. You are a warrior and a survivor. You are not alone. I hope you have AMPLE support and a good community surrounding you. Xoxo🥰
Ah yes I have been for a little over a year now currently but doing much better now fortunately. Thank you so much for your kind words and support, I truly appreciate it a lot! I hope you’re also doing well yourself - sending lots of love! ❤️
I'm do happy Monica broke her leg when she did. Never thought I'd say thatabout a person, but her timing was life saving for her and so many others. Dr. Mongley is a hero
…also, can we start including people like this doctor in lists about serial killers?? If they are found to knowingly harm another which leads to their death, how are they any different to serial killers who poison their victims for their own gain? They should receive the same types of sentences as them. There are plenty of medical staff with antisocial personality disorder (i.e plenty are psychopaths) out there, and they have easy access to means of harming and killing their patients. It’s ridiculous that there is not better oversight and stricter punishment to deter them from causing harm!
The medical profession is a magnet for serial killers, because there's a pretty low risk of getting caught. It's a job where some of their patients are inevitably going to die no matter what, so odds are people just aren't going to notice a few extra. That's why it's a profession that needs a huge amount of scrutiny.
Just wanted to say, I came across your channel TODAY and I see you’re new and growing, but I’m already loving it. Your cases are fascinating, totally different and absolutely heartbreaking. I hope you make it big and I pray that to god your health is getting better by the day!🙏❤️🙏❤️🙋🏼♀️
I’m 27 & watched my dad die at 56 of cancer last year which was absolutely horrendous, so trust me when I say that typically I say I wouldn’t wish cancer on anyone, but for this guy... I do. He is an absolute monster.
As a person that works in the medical field and is obsessed with true crime, this is the niche crime channel I didn't know I needed in my life. Your compassion for the victims is so evident and appreciated. I appreciate it, and I'm sure the victims and their families do as well.
Unreal, but there’s a lot of scary stuff in medicine. I was a nurse for 20 years and I haven’t been to the doctor now in like 15. I hate Western medicine and I wouldn’t get chemo even if I needed it. Prayers for these families.❤ You are an awesome and thorough storyteller.
Also, I am absolutely sure his CFO wife knew about everything! She had to because she saw every dollar pour in and knew where the money was coming from. I am sure he chose his complicit wife simply to avoid the questions that would be asked by a legitimate accountant/CFO. I am very interested in this case because I have a large tumor in my bladder but I don't know at this time if I have cancer. I don't know if you pray, but if you do, please pray for me, thank you!
I wish you all good things as you undergo your own treatment. I am sending out positive energy to the universe on your behalf. As a retired RN, I know first hand about the seemingly godlike hold doctors have on their patients. It takes a lot of effort to be heard when raising the call against these people. This reminds me of the pharmacist Courtney out of Kansas City that did the exact opposite and under treated cancer patients by deliberately mixing very low percentages of ordered chemotherapy amounts, so that he could "stretch" the drug he had purchased and pocketed the difference. I like your delivery style and the great research you did on reporting this complex case. Keep up the good work!.
Hi Petal! You did an absolutely outstanding job on this video! Not only is your voice soothing, your delivery is very professional and you really presented the victims of this sadist in a very compassionate way. You have another new subscriber👏🥰! Keep up the great work!
WOW. I can't even fathom what it's like having zero regard for human life. This guy is sick. I'm so sorry to every single one of his victims and all of their loved ones that were affected by this absolute vile piece of garbage. 💜
I hate that he said it was "european" protocol when europe has always had way more conservative and less invasive policies when it comes to medicine than the rest of the world :/
In regards to the creator- This is my third video in a row! Your way of putting together a gripping video is stellar. The way I can hear your voice waiver at an emotional point gives you a real feel of empathy In regards to the video- this is just so mortifying. Not even thinking about how horrible going through that kind of treatment is (which I’m sure it’s terrible), my first thought in hearing all this is money, and how if anything like this happened to me I don’t know if I’d ever financially recover. It’s so bad in so many ways. My heart breaks for those who, not only went through trauma just getting through the the chemo, but were financially fucked forever
I've watched two of your videos now and am hooked. I did not know you have cancer, and I wish you the best. God bless you and stay strong. I'm sure you inspire many future medical professionals with how to properly care for their patients.
This is the first channel ever I've encounteted, that covers medical malpractice. This is a great idea! I am saddened to hear you yourself have to undergo cancer treatment. Wishing you the best possible health outcomes and good luck with your channel, this is such a niche subject I am your loyal follower from now on 😊
Just subscribed, you not only clearly have done your research but you can translate judicial and medical jargon so clearly and professionally. It just feels very respectful of the victims yet engaging enough for laypeople to understand :)) keep up the great work!
Bless your heart Ms Petal! I knew that you actually sounded as if you'd been on chemotherapy! I hope that you have a great doctor and that your be fully cancer free soon! ❤️ I remember my own voice being like yours during that time. Thank you for keeping this case in the forefront because we as people who have dealt with cancer, we tend too trust anything that the doctor tells us, when all we want to do is to feel better and live. 🙏🏾
I work at a medical school in Texas and I just want to say that your videos are amazing! Thank you for presenting these extremely important topics in such a professional way.
I need to pause this issue for a minute. Was the doctor the only one investigated/penalized? Initially I could write off anyone else’s involvement until two things were mentioned: no supporting tests/documentation that would warrant these tests/treatments. As well as the mentioning of the various insurance companies that were scammed. I used to be a certified medical coder. Ironically, my mom owned her own medical billing company. Though we never worked together . I can all but guarantee he had assistance from others who had to be aware of his scam. For every single claim filed to insurance must include the appropriate medical code in order for insurance to reimburse. Even back then! Insurance has obnoxious hoops you must jump through before they’ll even consider paying these types of prices. If there’s no documentation in the medical record to support the doctors actions, then there sure as shit isn’t enough to get an insurance company to pay for it! Someone had to code that stuff. If the documentation isn’t there, how the hell did it get filed/billed?!
Literally the definition of an evil monster. He subjected THOUSANDS of people to probably the worst pain of their lives. I hope he suffers in prison and truly feels the despair he caused his patients. Thank you for bringing light to his crimes in this video, and RIP to the victims.
I had never heard of this before. What a horrible man. I can't imagine the pain and trauma these people went through. New subscriber here. I really enjoyed your format and pace.
Just seeing your channel for the first time today. Great job. Keep it up. People need to know how corrupt and unethical the medical establishment has become. I’m in my 30th year of health care and I can’t get out. It’s so bad.
you did an amazing job, thank you so much for telling these patients story in a way that focused on what horrible things where done to these poor people. I see your fairly new and you will have my support. keep up the amazing work. i look forward to each and every video you put your time and effort into.
This is the second video I've watched on your channel and I have to say you have such a talent for covering these stories. I'm so excited to watch all of them
I have a family history of leukemia and this absolutely terrifies me. Also, this is the second video of yours I've come across and you do an amazing job at relaying the story
The way he kept patients away from other doctors is horribly familiar. My friend had a primary care doctor who used HIPAA to spy on her patients, and she contacted every doctor my friend went to. And since my friend was very sick - and the doctor was ignorant, irrational, possibly nuts, and apparently very persuasive - this turned out to be lethal. I wish she could have seen a doctor like Dr. Maunglay. I can't believe Fata was only accused of fraud. How about hundreds of counts of malpractice, theft, poisoning, torture, and probably murder. It's funny how the insurance companies just went along with him. These same companies have been known to do things like claim that a wheelchair is not medical necessary for someone with no legs. And they also prefer to prevent patients from getting essential tests for as long as possible. Their theory is if they delay the patient, then the patient will go away (i.e. die). And yet they handed tons of cash to Fata. Maybe fake cancer looks more convincing then real cancer. But why pay for unusual treatments? Bribery?
I came across your channel several days ago and started watching, and I really like the way you explain and tell the stories. You have a calming voice. I am also going through chemo for appendix cancer, and it’s making me feel horrible. I can’t imagine being o retreated like these patients were. That’s just evil! Can you imagine their pain, the stomach issues including nausea and vomiting, the fatigue, etc. Not to mention if they survived, what did it do to their organs long term? It’s tragic.
👏🏽 IF 👏🏽 YOU 👏🏽 SEE 👏🏽 SOMETHING 👏🏽 THEN 👏🏽 YOU 👏🏽 SAY 👏🏽 SOMETHING 👏🏽 We need to encourage more whistleblowing of wrongdoing. The more people that reports, the less authorities are able to ignore an issue. In situations like this, it’s literally life and death. I can’t wrap my head around how people can go into the medical field to deliberately cause harm to others or stand by while they witness mistreatment. What if it was done to them or one of their loved ones!? That’s so abhorrent.
Hi there! Just a correction - I accidentally pronounced Farid Fata’s last name incorrectly in this video. Also, my apologies for the video quality of my talking footage looking rough. This was my third time re-filming this as I was having some major technical difficulties with the camera I was using. Anyway, it is currently Blood Cancer Awareness month and as a blood cancer patient myself, I’m glad to shed light on one of the most twisted cases of the blood cancer doctor who harmed and poisoned several patients. Hope you enjoy and let me know your thoughts on this case.🤎
I already love your videos ❤
@@leighgatiss1979 Thank you so much, I appreciate that ❤️
❤❤❤❤❤❤
Hello! Fellow blood cancer patient here... I was diagnosed with MDS- Myelodysplastic Syndrome back in 2015, been going through various treatments & many blood transfusions since. It seems certain treatments get my blood counts under control, but their effectiveness eventually wears off & I'm back to needing frequent transfusions again. All in all though, I've managed to hang on much longer than I'd expected to. I'm fortunate to have the most amazing doctor at the Hillman Cancer Center in Pittsburgh, PA. His name is James Rossetti, & I absolutely love him & totally trust him with my life. He was my husband's doctor first... he had leukemia (ALL), back in 2005, & Dr. Rossetti & his team pulled him through, even though it was a very difficult case. It gave us 15 years we thought we wouldn't have. The "doctor" in this video is absolutely evil. I can't imagine a doctor treating their patients like this guy did. He deserves to rot in prison til his dying day. What was he thinking?? I enjoyed this video very much. You are very well spoken & your presentation was well detailed. I will subscribe. I wish you much success with growing your channel. 😊
Well done.💞🙌🏼
One diligent nurse noticed malpractice after ONE day on the job and swiftly reported him to the authorities. Unless all of his other nurses were new graduates, I don't understand why they would let him get away with this. This really makes me trust medical professionals even less, knowing how much they will keep quiet as patients are being actively harmed. The doctor who investigated him wasn't even going to report him, he was just going to quit and leave!
For sure - I was definitely wondering more about the nurses. I’m for sure thinking a lot of them could’ve been recent graduates and were unaware that the doses were too high since Farid made it seem like it was a normal protocol but I’m not sure. I think I explained it a bit weird but Dr. Maunglay had actually already put in his resignation letter before he discovered Monica’s misdiagnosis. He was resigning due to Farid lying about enrolling the office in a program that they weren’t actually in and then it was after that when he discovered that in addition Farid was mistreating patients. And so he spent his last month trying to investigate some more and talking with the office manager so that he’d be able to gather enough information for a proper report it before he left.
It's entirely possible he targeted new grad nurses only. And without any experience, a new nurse questioning such a known doctor would probably look and feel weird. I'm sure in hindsight, they suddenly understood.
@@PetalPalmer Ah, thank you for clarifying I was so worked up about the nurses I must've assumed the other doctor was just keeping his head down and leaving quietly too...
@@LizzieMagz i sure hope that was the case.
Hey there, I’m not that trusting of medical staff myself due to multiple instances where they’ve treated me horrendously. If you have an illness that doesn’t have a clear cut way for treatment or a cure, you’re usually in for a shitty ride, but saying that, I believe the lady (petal) mentioned that the asshole doctor mostly hired low paid international staff 25:45 and not even for important stuff. He would see up to 70 patients a day and would not let any other doctors treat them.
I’m not dissolving them by any means, like I said this hush hush culture, especially with “celebrity doctor’s”, is disgusting, but I don’t know for sure if this was the case here.
But you’re definitely right that alot of people have the attitude of just “not wanting to get involved “, and just wanting to leave, no matter what oath they took. SMH 🤦🏼♀️
My friend was a victim/patient of this monster.
He gave her more than twice the dose of chemotherapy she needed. He called her his miracle patient- probably because she survived. She had to retrieve her medical records from the FBI when the case was over. I thank God this horrible man didn’t kill my friend and she is here enjoying young grandchildren even while grieving her fellow cancer fighters that were his victims. ❤
Does she know if she actually had cancer or if he deliberately misdiagnosed her?
One of my friends had cancer and he was only getting the normal doses of chemotherapy and he said it was worse than the cancer I could not imagine how bad to much would be
That’s horrifying. Chemotherapy should always be given at the lowest effective dose
I will never take chemo cuz of the stories and watching my Dad go through it.
@@vclocals5536 Chemo is harsh, but it will save your life if you need it
My partners father was a victim of this man his family got a settlement out of it, but no amount of money can fix the suffering he caused. He passed away in 2009...
So sorry to hear that and my condolonces. It's terrible that he would even to think to do this to so many people.
Sorry for your loss ❤
That is so sad. x
I'm so sorry. May his memory be a blessing. 💖
I’m so sorry
Boy, the judge who was going to set the bail so low must have been sleeping through the charges.
I know right?! No clue what they were thinking.
Not asleep no- it’s one law for the rich and a different one for us!
@@beastshawnee I think that usually you are right.
That judge didn’t sound like a judge. More like a charlatan if anything, shouldn’t even be a judge….
This Dr. Maunglay is such a hero, honestly. Good for him for having the courage to tell the patient the truth, even going against his own boss - so many people wouldn't do that, they'd either be too afraid, or they'd be willing to go along with it to make money, etc. I really respect this doctor for actually taking his job as a physician seriously.
Same goes for the nurse, as well. She's awesome for immediately reporting him - though I'm not surprised the medical board did nothing. It's INSANE the stuff they can see and still let a doctor continue to harm people.
@@zzevonplantread about "Dr. Death", Dr. Christopher Duntsch. There are several podcast about him and tons of news stories. It will enrage you!
Man’s a living saint
This is my first time hearing you. I see your channel is very new. Your research and presentation are phenomenal!!! I hope you have a lot of success, strength, and continue to educate us.
Aw thank you so much, that truly means a lot to me!
I also just came across this channel, agree, great presentation.
she came in like a wrecking ball
Same!
Same. Immediate follow from me. Keep on 🤟🏻
This is so horrible. I had a round of IVIG. Each infusion cost me over $7000 and my body went into shock. I can’t imagine going through that unnecessarily.
Oh my that sounds awful, sorry you had to go through that. And gosh that is so expensive. It's horrible so many people went through these treatments for no reason.
Thats horrible that your body reacted that way to IVIG that way. I've had to IVIG several times as well and each time I had it I ended up feeling really good afterwards but that only lasted about 24 hours, and then I'd go back to feeling like my crappyself again, lol.
how in the world could anyone afford that..
So glad I live in Canada
Wow it really sucks to live in usa.
I worked for one of the best cancer centers in my state. What bothered me so much was our oncologists knowingly could have saved more lives if they referred some of the patients to Duke. They knew there were treatments available in Duke, that we didnt offer, which could have saved lives of many of the patients who died! But like the doctors said, "everytime a patient steps thru that door, thats an automatic $12,000 bill." I find it sickening how lives mean nothing to doctors who have no ties or attachment to the patient
That’s psychopathic. So disgusting that people can go into the medical profession and deliberately cause harm to others.
Capitalism at its greatest! Living in the USA must really suck!
IMO this is why medicine should never be a for-profit business. Bringing money into treating patients will inevitably lead to harm.
I once worked at a hospital where a heart surgeon was making patients crash so he could "rescue" them. Administration looked the other way at first because he was bringing so much money into the hospital, and then word got out in the community that this hospital had a heart surgeon who was killing people. This place already had one medical serial killer (although he's not believed to have actually killed anyone there) so they really didn't need another. Last I heard, he's STILL PRACTICING!
This doctor sounds like he may have had some version of Munchausen's syndrome.
My mother died as a direct result from medical malpractice at 57 in Kelowna general hospital in Kelowna BC Canada. They made her suffer for weeks until she passed. You can’t trust medical professionals in any goddamn country. You just have to hope and pray that the one that you have is doing the right thing. I believe that every one of them will eventually answer for what they have done on the day that they die on judgement day. They will likely burn in hell for eternity just for the money they made here on earth.
What Dr. Fareed did was downright evil.
My grandma died after being treated for lung cancer that had metastasisized and spread to her brain. She was 85 and had already survived breast cancer 10 years before and open heart surgery only 2 years before. Her own parents died horrible deaths post chemo but her oncology advised she and my uncle and mother who were present that "today's [2016] chemo & radiation is much more advanced than the treatment back then so she will tolerate this treatment well."
So instead of palliative care she was put on an aggressive treatment protocol. Before this she was mostly wheelchair bound due to Venus insufficientcy but was happy and still herself. She could read, go out with family, the month before being diagnosed she flew from Arizona to New York to see her cousin who she grew up with who was like a sister to her. Her cousin suffered from dementia but my grandma loved her so and kept in touch by phone until she couldn't communicate like that anymore and my grandma planned and took the last trip to see her. Her cousin couldn't understand much but my grandma sat with her and held her hand quietly, speaking occasionally in a soft tone.
She didn't end it with goodbye, she said see you later.
Then after that she went to Disneyland with several of her grandkids. Then the treatment started. She wanted to see the beach one more time but after the treatment began she deteriorated rapidly. She lost so much weight and could barely eat and went from plump to frail and looking like a skeleton in a matter of months.
She always loved Starwars and the franchise had just been rebooted and I wanted to take her but work ruined my plans one night and after that it was too late because every night after that she was too sick. (To this day I regret putting work first. It was only one day but I feel like I lost so much).
At this point her body was failing rapidly but then they started radiation and it was like they turned that up to 11 and stole her mind and joy as well. After radiation started she didn't tolerate it for long before they put her on hospice where she was delirious and in pain. Crying for her mother. I'd come to read to her and could tell that she wasn't really able to absorb what I was saying but I think she liked hearing my voice there anyway.
Finally she died but not before being robbed of her dignity and joy and multiple final bucket list items (to see the beach, visit her cousin again, go see Starwars) all of which were attainable if she hadn't been put on a treatment that was inappropriate to start with.
I don't know why they did that to her instead of putting her on palliative care except for to gain thousands from medicaid from the treatment that made her final months torture.
It didn't have to be like that. She could have been put on a hospice plan and continued enjoying her life and family in her last year but that oncologist's greed stole that from her and our family.
I’m very very sorry. I read every word, I work in hospice and this broke my heart. I’ve never seen a star wars movie but I’ll give it a shot on behalf of your grandma.It’s sick and twisted when healthcare workers abuse the trust given to them all for paper that is dyed green. Shame on them
You are a good grandkid. I was s close to my grandmother and in her last days it was nothing like this and I still felt so guilty too. I literally went nuts. I'm sorry you went through that and I love how you care so much. My grandmother also loved star wars.
You brought tears to my eyes. I am so sorry for your loss and how things transpired. My aunt was diagnosed with lung cancer at 89. She never smoked but my uncle did for years. They ran all these treatment protocols by her and she flat out said no. She stayed in her home until she went into hospice.
My father started having problems at 90. He had recovered from lymphoma seven years before but with deficits from the treatment that really bothered him. They started doing tests and one day he went down to the office in his assisted living and signed up for hospice. The doctors were all bent out of shape but both of them felt they had had a full life and didn't want the indignity.
The doctors, hospitals and drug makers all make a fortune off bullying the elderly and their families into highly toxic chemo and debilitating radiation protocols. I've known much younger stronger people that were wiped out by this stuff. I'm really sorry she missed her bucket list items, she sounds like an awesome person I'd have been honored to know.
Same thing happened to my dad, almost. He suffered ever since treatment. But his cancer was aggressive as well. Now my stepmom is stuck with $13,000 in medical bills which his life insurance will all go towards.
I miss my dad so much. I’m glad he didn’t go through with the radiation. He was too weak and still they wanted to put him through it. The worst part was seeing him in all that pain. It was hard to tell what was from the cancer and what was from treatment.
His last words to me were “I love you, so much”. He died on July 25, of this year.
@@MermaidMakes I am sorry for your loss. I still find myself reaching for the phone on Sunday afternoon when I used to call my dad him every week. It's really hard. I'm glad your dad said no to the radiation if he was weak and I'm glad you have such wonderful last words to remember.
Im on a breast cancer journey. Treatments like radiation, chemo etc are brutal. Having your body poisoned unneccesarily is inhumane. What an evil evil man. BTW I hope you are doing well. Im so glad to have discovered your channel 😃
Hope you get well soon
my mother is going to be breast cancer free for 2 years this thanksgiving. i wish you luck on your journey, its tough and not easy but it is possible to pull through. soon you will be celebrating being cancer free. dont forget you have many people in your corner who will aid you no matter what ❤
I'm 6 years free. Good luck!!!!
My mother BEAT breast cancer years ago before she sadly passed away from medical malpractice. I send you all of my strength and positive healing vibes your way. Everyone is rooting for you girl❤
I would strongly recommend to look up water fasting + chemo, you should do some research yourself, and not take my word for it, but to round it up: ALOT of cancers, lose their protective ability that healthy cells utilize when we are fasting, so combine that with chemo and you'll be killing alot more cancer cells, key is to achieve autophagy
My aunt was told she had colon cancer and had a few months left to live, she changed doctor and turns out she just had constipation, it’s scary how these things happen.
😢
Second opinions should be automatic with various options for treatment...medical industry is just that...$
As a nurse I was so proud that it was a nurse who had originally caught on to the scam… we are taught to think critically and to question orders/ interventions as appropriate as our patients well being is at stake… this is a painful lesson of if you see something unsafe say something ! No matter your role In health care - Whether a RN, MD, CNA, US…. Speak up ! It can be hard - especially with attendings and the surgical specialty particularly as they tend to be so dismissive and flippant and overall confident not to mention. Their experience it can be very intimidating … but lives are on the line .. I always tell my new grad RNs never hesitate to question orders and seek confirmation from more experienced nurses …. Never let doctors intimidate you into silence ! Half the time they’re putting in orders wrong or trying to follow the wrong protocols and it’s up to us to catch and correct it ! We are the last line and we have to hold strong !
What is your point?? How about other tons of nurses that never reported. You are talking about only one nurse.
Thank you for speaking up! You are doing great and important work!
Thank you for speaking up! You are doing great and important work!
@@immyammy7185 bro wdym, the point is that nurses should think critically of doctors decision and voice those opinions
Fellow blood cancer patient here & i agree with you - just trying to get through the regular chemotherapy protocols is hard enough! It's sometimes absolute hell itself & can really make a person feel like they are dying (and the depression caused by it is dark!); So what this creature did to all of it's unsuspecting victims, is beyond comprehensible. Evil doesn't even begin to describe the repercussions that every single one of them has had to endure.
Anyhow, rant over - You did a lovely job and i must say that I've never heard of this case before, so kudos to you for bringing it! 👏
So true - the physical and mental side effects from chemotherapy are just awful. It’s hard to fathom somebody would intentionally have several people go through this unnecessarily.
And aww thank you so much, I really appreciate that! :)
So glad when my son had leukemia, he was treated in hospital where there was plenty of oversight. The trust you have to put in doctors is huge.
Exactly. I’ve had leukemia for a little over a year now, and while watching this video, I was reflecting over how badly the normal chemo protocol has affected me and many others who have been through chemo treatments… I couldn’t imagine how much worse it would be to go through more chemo than was necessary!! It’s a miracle that more of his patients didn’t die… shame on him and any other “doctor” like him.
my grandmother was one of his victims. she was undergoing treatment and at one point was doing so well and wanted to stop, but she was then switched to his facility and he insisted keeping her on the treatment, and even upping the dosage. obviously it made her decline to the point where her body could no longer handle it. my dad lost his last living parent which really took a toll on him that is still apparent today. i miss her, her shelves full of trinkets, sharing stories back and forth over dinner, her dogs that she loved so dearly. i wish i got to know her better, as i was still pretty young when she passed. my dad’s side of the family has now become skeptical of doctors and modern medicine because of this, and while i’m concerned for them, i completely understand why. may you suffer forever farid fata.
I’m so sorry for your loss. I hope your family gets justice some way
😢
His story reminds me of what my aunt passed while treating a throat cancer. She had to go through radiation and the doctors said the number of sessions was a protocol, no matter the cancer stage nor the patients condition, in that clinic all went through 30 sessions.
It was too much.
She's alive and cancer free nowadays, but she presents such an extreme degree of bone/teeth decay that always gets doctors/dentists impressed.
Since she was no patient of Dr. Farid (we're brazilian) it makes me think that this specific kind of malpractice, the overpoisoning of cancer patients, may be more common than we think.
The number of sessions is protocol, no matter the type of cancer or the stage it's in?
Yikes.
That's despicable.
@@thelegioncollective Yes, the clinic said they worked this way. If she didnt agree, she had basically to quit her treatment.
For context, people are sent to places like this by a "queue" system stablished by the public healthcare. It’s some kind of partnership that happens between some private clinics and the public healthcare.
Refusing this treatment would mean to be placed in the end of the queue again, wait months to be sent to any clinic/hospital that matched her needs and since the referrals are based on the place you live, she probably would be sent to this same "protocol" clinic.
I can't think of where I saw it, but someone said that three things should never be run for profit: education, incarceration, and healthcare.
Good luck with your own treatment. I hope you kick cancer's butt.
Most definitely - it’s so weird that places like hospitals are often considered a profitable business as opposed to a healthcare facility for treating patients. And thank you so much, I appreciate that! :)
Giving IVG treatment when not necessary is actually dangerous because one can have reactions even anaphylaxis. I was to have 6 treatments but I had reactions to two treatments and stopped. IVG is VERY VERY EXPENSIVE.
And all three in this country are for-profit.
@@AshleySpeaks4U Yep...
What a monster!! My husband is a cancer survivor and he went through many months of hell with his chemotherapy treatments. So severe that he still has CPTSD to this day. To think that a doctor would deliberately poison and traumatize his patients - especially the ones that didn't actually have cancer - is wicked and vile. Also have to mention that I love your channel! Can't wait to see what other stories you have to tell in the future.
Yeah. I can't imagine going through that. What he did was just flat-out despicable.
... And as for your husband, I hope he's doing okay. I can imagine how traumatic his experience was. 😞😓
This "doctor" was almost as dangerous as Burzynski is.
My stepmom was misdiagnosed by him shortly before everything came out. I honestly think you'd be hard-pressed to find anyone in Southeastern Michigan who doesn't know someone conned by him.
i think we need a new word for when people are purposely misdiagnosed… maliciously diagnosed… maldiagnosed
Dr. Fareed wasn’t in on this alone. Primary care doctors that referred patients to him need to be investigated as well.
But there's no way that these doctors could have known that Dr. Fareed was doing truly malicious treatments unless they were actually there
there is no way they would have known.. they made a referral and then they get a report back, which is trusted.. as are all referrals
@@charliegruchy530 that's my point here. There's a level of trust in the medical field that, from one doctor to another, you trust that the specialist you're referring a patient to is doing what they're supposed to be doing
That's not how the process works in America. You see a weird test result in a primary care facility, you refer to a specialist who can better figure out what exactly is going on -- that's their entire job.
As for Farid's nurses and fellow doctors, yeah, they need to be investigated. They were in the position to both see the pain inflicted by Farid and had the knowledge to know that these patients didn't have cancer.
@@kh22912yup, because otherwise you'd be the specialist.
The specialist has (supposedly) the training and expertise to do a proper job, just as the generalist has at their job.
For a LOT of creators I have to speed up the video to 1.25, when you started I had to check it was on normal! Your speed is awesome. Love the detail! Love it. You're doing an amazing job. My adhd/tism APPROVED! thank you! It's rare to find a narrated video that's my speed naturally!❤
Aww I’m so glad to hear that - thank you so much! I always try to speak as natural and as close to my normal talking speed as possible so I’m really glad you enjoyed it. :)
As a nurse this really makes my stomach turn, knowing what side effects these medications will cause. It saddens me how so many nurses didn't speak up or really did not understand how these treatments were unneccesary, but I can kind of see how it could happen. The thing is that treatment protocols really do vary from one institution to another a lot and it is nothing out of the ordinary. Then it's also very difficult to go against a person of authority who knows they are doing wrong, since they would be able to document the treatments in a way that would make them seem valid even to other professionals. Still, it should speak to you as a human when a patient is suffering so badly, it should make you question if this is the right treatment for them.
People past certain ages are killed by treatments, yet physicians STILL put pt's on the stuff when they are too old.
From my own personal experience watching my big brother go through treatment for testicular cancer.. was awful, 10 years later I still have my own trauma from seeing the effects of these hugely destructive medications..
I can't understand how the victims of this horrible crime coped.
No person going through those health scares do NOT deserve to have their medications adulterated.
Thankyou for making this informative video! Can't wait to watch this channel go big ❤
So sorry to hear about your brother. I hope he’s doing much better now and I hope that you’re doing well also.
Ah I know right - it’s absolutely terrifying and horrible that this happened to so many people.
And thank you so much for the support, it truly means a lot.❤️
@PetalPalmer luckily with modern medications (that weren't messed with!!) He's been in remission since his treatment stopped.
I hope your treatment is just as successful and one day we can get to hear about your experiences during and after treatment.
Can I also say, as a huge true crime buff, I am super excited too see what other great content you are yet to make! The field of medicine still has so many grey area's with serious under reporting..
Keep up the brilliant work.
💙💙
@@emmyheartsyouall I’m so glad to hear that! Ah yes, I’m most definitely looking forward to the day I’m finally done with treatments!
Yes! That’s definitely one of the main reasons I wanted to start creating these videos. There’s so many stories relating to the medical field and healthcare that are very important yet they’re hardly covered, or I at least had a hard time finding many people who cover cases like these.
So I’m definitely looking forward to continue researching and sharing these stories on here!
Thank you for your kind words, I really appreciate it :)
My grandma died in 2004 from lung and bone cancer and underwent aggressive chemo. We're from the metro Detroit area and just finding this out makes me feel... wrong...
He was definitely a monster!
Unfortunately he was caught too late for so many victims 😢
Looking forward to seeing more videos from you !
You have a wonderful speaking voice and really bring us in with the story
Just brighten up your screen a bit 😊
I know right, it's so sad that he got away with so much. And thank you so much for your kind words and tips! I have some new filming equipment coming in soon, so definitely looking forward to the quality + lighting improving in the next videos 😌
We do our children wrong to tell them there are no such things as monsters, yet most of us do it in innocence...either we think it's best not to scare a child or we honestly believe it ourselves ...but it's still a dangerous, dangerous lie. Maybe we should teach children young that monsters, most of the time, look just like the rest of us. Then maybe, just maybe, when kids grow up to be adults, they will look a little (or a lot) closer into the history of their medical practitioners, therapists, service people, landlords, educators, etc...anyone they need to be able to trust. There is nothing wrong with trust coming on the heels of verification, is there?
That’s so true. It’s so easy to feel like one could trust somebody like a physician, especially with all of the years of studying and practice they put into becoming one. But regardless of one’s career, there are evil people everywhere so unfortunately not everyone can be trusted even if they take the Hippocratic oath to do no harm. I think as times have now changed and we’re now in the internet and social media era, things should hopefully be a lot better as people are likely able to do more thorough research on their medical providers, landlords, educators etc. online and are able to communicate with several others virtually on their experiences with said provider.
I remember vividly a book my mother gave me and my sister when we were very little that has stayed relevant even now into my adult years. The mother bear in the Bernstein bears is cutting up apples and shows her daughter an oddly shaped one. I don't remember what she said but the lesson was about not assuming someone is good based on appearance. She cuts open the apple and the inside is perfect. She cuts open a pretty apple and the inside is full of worms.
Very simple way to encourage kids to be wary regardless of appearance.
@someoneelse4710 Sounds like a pretty good lesson to teach children regarding being aware of signs that someone may not be who they are on the outside.
I think that people should teach wariness - we focus on stranger danger but cover up the danger when it's inside the house. We uplift the beautiful and demonize the ugly, and those who are different - when all too often the danger comes from conformity and those we hold highly.
There was also another ‘doctor’ in Texas who committed the most heinous crimes against his patients. He and his wife were from Iran. They came to America later in life and he opened a huge cancer clinic with a hematology clinic, where he would work up his own patients instead of having to send them across town for bloodwork at the hospital. One day, a lady who had recently been diagnosed with stage 4 cancer, was returning from a trip and fell over her luggage, breaking her leg. She was taken to a hospital close to her home. She was seen by a doctor who just so happened to work at the same cancer clinic of the Iranian doctor and he was comparing her chart from their cancer laboratory to the hospital lab results. She didn’t have cancer. The doctor was fixing lab work to show positive cancer. The doctor was shocked and he knew immediately his colleague was committing medical fraud. There were many people hurt by this cancer doctor. He and his wife fled back to Iran.
Maybe you're thinking of the same doctor profiled in this video? Aside from the country the doctor immigrated from, the details of both the doctor you mention and the doctor from this video are identical. What are the odds two different oncology doctors had fraudulent practices foiled by a female patient tripping over her suitcase and breaking a leg?
@@rachelnotluf4585 I agree. I tried to search for this Iranian doctor case but I couldn’t find anything. Seems the OP may have heard the case in the video before and misremembered the details, and ended up thinking it was a separate case when it’s the same.
I can’t find a link to your story and it’s a pretty big allegation. Can you show this?
@@Initium1000it’s people like you that think Doctors are gods when , in fact , they are clueless or money hungry
For a minute I thought you meant Burzynski, with his forever experimental miracle cancer cure.

i’m a biochem student, and though i’m not predmed, i’m obsessed with all things medical. i also love true crime. your channel is such a wonderful combination of those things, and your storytelling is amazing. i also really like your voice and personality! your videos are great to listen to.
My heart goes out to you! I used to be a nurse and it is heartbreaking to see these stories of unscrupulous medical professionals. I was fortunate to work with physicians that I respected.
I hope your journey to wellness is safe and enduring. Keep yourself educated on your disease process. And the treatments. You are your own best advocate!
Thank you so much for the support! It definitely is sad to see bad apples like this using their position to commit such horrible crimes. But it is definitely amazing being able to work with healthcare professionals who are compassionate and genuinely enjoy what they do in helping others!
The evil ex-doctor got 45 years in jail.
For patients, be sure to carefully review all of your biopsy results. If it doesnt make sense, get a second opinion from an oncologost at a different hospital.
Sad that he harmed so many, just for money. And sad that the first time he was reported, nothing happened.
Ok WAY off topic but -- "Petal Palmer" is such a badass name. It's clearly a superhero's alter ego. You don't have to reveal your secret identity, I'll just go ahead and thank you for keeping the world safe and battling villains when you're not YouTubing
Wow Petal what a great video. You only have six videos but I can tell your channel will go far. I look forward to watching your videos and being here to support you. God bless.

@@PetalPalmer 🥰 And I want to say that I pray for healing and total restoration for you in Jesus name. Have a wonderful day.
I’m from the area where he did this and it completely shocked the community. He was so well known and well regarded in the area that people truly couldn’t believe he would do this. It was horrible. Really great video. Thanks for your research and hard work.
Nurses are frequently ignored. Historically women in a male-dominated field would simply be shutdown. But I'm telling you it's often nurses who know something isn't right and will warn you. Like the nurse who tried to raise the alarm on the doctor who ignored child abuse to prove a medical theory when the reality was, their mother was killing them. The nurses knew and they knrw thr current baby was going to be dead shortly on returning home and sure enough. You can see that nurse's anger when she's interviewed about that famous case.
In Germany there was a case recently of a pharmacist who diluted the chemo he sold. All to enhance his profits. It's uncertain how many people died as a direct result of them getting chemo with little to no active ingredients.
Edit: oops, not recent, in 2016. He got 12 years but tried to appeal the verdict.
Omg that's horrible. 🙊
Who do we trust anymore! When i worked in the pharmacy at the hospital only the pharmacist (sp) come mix the chemo, so who knows maybe this is happening in more places, cause as a pharmacy tech i made up other iv bags in the hospital but was to,d to make up the chemo bags the control was different , very interesting
An American doctor did the exact same thing. Apparently it's more common than we'd like to think. It's something that is incredibly hard to prove, so we probably will never know how often it occurs.
I hope you recover very well. Please tell us how you are getting along, and please keep up with the videos!
Thank you! Doing much better at the moment fortunately. Most definitely will do! :)
@@PetalPalmerThank you for exposing this monster. I could never endure cancer treatment!!!
Dr.Maunglay is definitely a hero here..as a cancer survivor myself I was diagnosed with reproductive cancer in 2020 and got proper treatment and I'm cancer free.. I'm also a neuro surgery recipient for a severe spine illness , and I just got done with your story about that crooked neurosurgeon in Colorado and Dr.M's case really nauseated me..and it's nuts hearing stories like these and having things in common with the victims..i thank God my oncologist and neurosurgeon were great and stand up fellows..but this is sick and disgusting..and not being funny but this loser ( Medical . Dunce ,md.Fata) makes Dr.Nick Rivera from the Simpsons seem like Dr.Albert Schweitzer...the audacity of these shady medical practitioners..and I just discovered your channel and I must say your research and thouroughness & Video is well done..and the " European protocol" thats B.S...cause the protocol for cancer treatment in Europe is the same in America and the world if the hospital is properly facilitated.
Please excuse my lack of punctuation my eyesights isn't the best and take care and God bless and I sincerely hope you feel better and I wish you well on your cancer journey and you get better yourself 😊

Your sub count has gone up by almost 1,000 in the two hours since I found your channel. That's an amazing jump for such a new channel. 🎉
As a victim of medical negligence from a doctor who was never held accountable for my injury and is still practicing 20 years later, I really appreciate you covering these stories.
That jump in viewership must be why she showed up on my radar!! I'm definitely subscribing. 💕
I run into all kinds of medical horror stories in the comments of TH-cam videos. She covers her topics really well and has a great narrator style, so I'm willing to bet her count will go up even more. Can you imagine, it's been 20 years since your negligence and how many people there are like you from your doctor and so many other doctors over that time. It's still happening because my malpractice story is only a years and a half old. She won't run out of material, for sure!
@@angelachouinard4581 Medical negligence and malpractice goes under the radar way too often, and doctors are protected by diffuse responsibility and the inherent confidentiality of the profession, I think Petal Palmer is doing a great job of hitting on an under-represented topic (edit: I can see why the channel is growing quickly)
Bravo to the nurse Angela for using her extentive knowledge to immediately recognize what Farid was doing.
Both my parents were killed by med staff, died 10 days apart. Dad was being transported needs oxygen 24/7. Transporters EMS said he didn't need for shor6run, he was fighting to breath, I began to panic, they kept telling me it was only anxiety. He suffocated in front of me. His dr is furious. Mom was hospi7for perforated colon, the torture they put her through is too much to list. Then she was neglected because she wasn't jumping through the nurses hoops fast enough, he refused to treat her, ignoring drs orders. They also ignored her advance directive. They refused us contact with her and they never informed us she died. No one will help us to have licenses of those involved revoked. It's almost 2 yrs and we're told we have to hurry or the courts will be locked forever. If I knew what to do I go to court without a lawyer!
I mean, if the nurses (and doctor) ignored her advanced directive then that would be a police matter and likened to murder/manslaughter.

Hi! Ah thank you so much! That is so sweet, I truly appreciate that a lot! ❤️
I’m an IVIG patient and have been on this treatment for over a decade. For my condition, I will have to be on IVIG for the rest of my life. I infuse weekly, and the cost of the medication, as you said, is $1,000+ per treatment. This medication is life saving for those that need it, and the fact that he was giving this medication to people who were not in need of it is mind boggling.
Thank you for sharing this story! My heart goes out to those that were affected by this monster.
My mother is an RN and did Oncology Hospice the majority of her Career. So Oncology has a close place in my heart. I know the pain cancer can cause on the patient and families.
The fact this man got away with such egregious things under the disguise as a white coat is a disgrace
My grandma died at 81 from metastatic stomach cancer. Her oncologist didn’t talk to her like a human being. He told everything to us and hardly looked at her. At least he recommended hospice so she could go peacefully the way she wanted. I am disgusted by how some doctors take advantage of vulnerable patients. Your message is so needed!
😳 Wow... Chemo is horrible.. and costly! I can't imagine anyone going through it unnecessarily..
💝 Ps: Beautiful content presentation. You have no unnecessary details, yet you remain engaging. 💐🙏🏾

This is such an underrated channel! Your editing and presentation is so professional, and I really appreciate the amount of empathy you put in to telling these stories! Keep up the good work, I cannot wait to see what you do next.
Great that you put forward this information. There seems to be a flaw in the system that allows one doctor to be involved in all the different levels of diagnosis , treatment, care, and then even hospice. There is so much conflict of interest when a psychopathic crook is given free rein to wreak such havoc. The medical establishment should be investigated. They too are out of control.
@@buffys3477 That's for-profit medicine for you. What else to American doctors get away with, to increase the size of their bank accounts?
So important to get a second opinion when given a cancer diagnosis or a diagnosis where cancer is suspected.
I’ve been binging your channel and you are so well researched, well spoken, respectful of the victims in these cases, and caring. I hope to see you grow to an even wider audience❤
Wow this is crazy. As someone who struggles w medical issues I’m definitely going to be subscribing!! I’d love to see a video from you about Endometriosis at some point. I have this disease and the amount of medical malpractice women deal with (including myself) in trying to get diagnosed is outrageous! I think your channel would be a great way to raise awareness! :)
don’t have endo as far as im aware but I’ve got fibro and holy shit. medical malpractice is so common amongst women. went in for chronic pain. had one blood test done. no referrals no nothing except suggesting going on antidepressants (I DON’T HAVE CLINICAL DEPRESSION.) got told I was nothing but sensitive. only via a physiotherapist did I learn just what the fuck was wrong with me. AFTER NEARLY TWO YEARS STRAIGHT OF BEING IN PAIN. can’t sue or do shit because it looks like nothing is wrong
I was in pain, throwing up and fainting every month for over a year, and they told me nothing is wrong. After 2 years, they diagnosed me with 4th stage endo
I second this. Took 8 years to get diagnosed because every gynecologist i spoke to refused to do the diagnosis hysteroscopy just because i was ‘too young’. Even though i’ve had chronic pain and uncontrollable periods for years. And the only thing anyone ever wants to prescribe for treatment are useless antidepressants and opiates (which are highly addictive, dangerous, and stop you from functioning normally in your daily life)
@@EosinophyllisI suggest you read what medical malpractice means before throwing jabs at doctors for it.
Im guessing by your statement that your disease is fibromyalgia (You say Fibro and endo as if a prefix suffices to explain which medical condition you speak of), which is a hard enough to diagnose disease in many, and just as hard to treat. Not every physician deals with patients with "Fibro" on a day to day, or even month to month basis, which is why its a disease that goes under the radar quite often. Some physiotherapists may actually have several fibromyalgic patients, so they may recognise the symptoms with more ease than most physicians.
Also note that antidepressants ARE part of the array of drugs used to treat fibromyalgia. Antidepressants are actually used for several chronic pain related illnesses.
So now that youve (hopefully) read up on the term medical malpractice, and understand a teeny bit more about your disease, are you still so sure yours was a case of malpractice?
@@fmazerolol I see what you’re saying, and it is definitely important to understand the definition of medical malpractice, however, the rest of your comment was really dismissive and condescending. If a dr incorrectly diagnoses you, you could have a medical malpractice case. If a dr fails to order the proper testing, you could have a medical malpractice case, etc. Medical malpractice is not a one size fits all term, as there are so many different kinds of medical malpractice, you just need a good lawyer to be able to undeniably prove it. Also, Fibromyalgia is a very common condition to have, so it’s really not an excuse for a doctor to not “know” much about it. It is literally in their job description to be educated and aware of these things, and if they don’t have the answers, then their job is to refer the patient to another doctor who might.
Historically, women have been given the diagnosis of “mentally ill” time and time again, have been diagnosed with some & their pain has been dismissed because of this. Women literally used to get diagnosed with “female hysteria.” To assume a patient is dealing with clinical depression instead of acknowledging that they are feeling real physical pain is irresponsible. It doesn’t matter if the treatment is the same or not, its negligent to be treat a patient without the right diagnosis.
I suggest YOU stop judging people’s medical issues & situations based off of one youtube comment before making such condescending remarks.
I had to get a few infusions for a non cancer condition. Even the lady at the front desk was willing to mention her concerns when she noticed the procedure was scheduled to take longer then normal. The reason was all the checks and balences the facility does before a needle gets anywhere near the patient. So if a desk clerk is willing to question the doctor theres no excuse for other doctors and nurses to raise concerns.
What a monster 😡 I can’t imagine the amount of physical and mental pain he inflicted on his patients 😔
I know right, just absolutely repulsive he did this for so long and to so many people with no remorse whatsoever.
Having worked with far too many healthcare insurance agents and doctors, I can tell you that unless he was falsifying their charts, they could have caught him trivialy and didn't.
That's for-profit medicine.

I am a pathologist and i never seen Multiple myeloma in someone as young as 32. I am suprised no one questioned the diagnosis.
I'm do happy Monica broke her leg when she did. Never thought I'd say thatabout a person, but her timing was life saving for her and so many others. Dr. Mongley is a hero
…also, can we start including people like this doctor in lists about serial killers?? If they are found to knowingly harm another which leads to their death, how are they any different to serial killers who poison their victims for their own gain? They should receive the same types of sentences as them. There are plenty of medical staff with antisocial personality disorder (i.e plenty are psychopaths) out there, and they have easy access to means of harming and killing their patients. It’s ridiculous that there is not better oversight and stricter punishment to deter them from causing harm!
The medical profession is a magnet for serial killers, because there's a pretty low risk of getting caught. It's a job where some of their patients are inevitably going to die no matter what, so odds are people just aren't going to notice a few extra. That's why it's a profession that needs a huge amount of scrutiny.
So grateful for people like Dr Maunglay.
This is quickly becoming one of my favorite channels. You are so pretty, your voice is so soothing, and you have a great way of presenting the cases.
Just wanted to say, I came across your channel TODAY and I see you’re new and growing, but I’m already loving it. Your cases are fascinating, totally different and absolutely heartbreaking.
I hope you make it big and I pray that to god your health is getting better by the day!🙏❤️🙏❤️🙋🏼♀️
I’m 27 & watched my dad die at 56 of cancer last year which was absolutely horrendous, so trust me when I say that typically I say I wouldn’t wish cancer on anyone, but for this guy... I do. He is an absolute monster.
It took so many people noticing something was wrong before this man was caught. Yikes.
As a person that works in the medical field and is obsessed with true crime, this is the niche crime channel I didn't know I needed in my life.
Your compassion for the victims is so evident and appreciated. I appreciate it, and I'm sure the victims and their families do as well.
Unreal, but there’s a lot of scary stuff in medicine. I was a nurse for 20 years and I haven’t been to the doctor now in like 15. I hate Western medicine and I wouldn’t get chemo even if I needed it. Prayers for these families.❤ You are an awesome and thorough storyteller.
Also, I am absolutely sure his CFO wife knew about everything! She had to because she saw every dollar pour in and knew where the money was coming from. I am sure he chose his complicit wife simply to avoid the questions that would be asked by a legitimate accountant/CFO. I am very interested in this case because I have a large tumor in my bladder but I don't know at this time if I have cancer. I don't know if you pray, but if you do, please pray for me, thank you!
I wish you all good things as you undergo your own treatment. I am sending out positive energy to the universe on your behalf. As a retired RN, I know first hand about the seemingly godlike hold doctors have on their patients. It takes a lot of effort to be heard when raising the call against these people. This reminds me of the pharmacist Courtney out of Kansas City that did the exact opposite and under treated cancer patients by deliberately mixing very low percentages of ordered chemotherapy amounts, so that he could "stretch" the drug he had purchased and pocketed the difference. I like your delivery style and the great research you did on reporting this complex case. Keep up the good work!.
Hi Petal! You did an absolutely outstanding job on this video! Not only is your voice soothing, your delivery is very professional and you really presented the victims of this sadist in a very compassionate way. You have another new subscriber👏🥰! Keep up the great work!
WOW.
I can't even fathom what it's like having zero regard for human life.
This guy is sick.
I'm so sorry to every single one of his victims and all of their loved ones that were affected by this absolute vile piece of garbage. 💜
I’m hooked on your channel already! I love your delivery and it breaks my heart to hear these stories.
I hate that he said it was "european" protocol when europe has always had way more conservative and less invasive policies when it comes to medicine than the rest of the world :/
Exactly!
I’m loving your channel! Thank you for the invaluable service you are providing.
In regards to the creator- This is my third video in a row! Your way of putting together a gripping video is stellar. The way I can hear your voice waiver at an emotional point gives you a real feel of empathy
In regards to the video- this is just so mortifying. Not even thinking about how horrible going through that kind of treatment is (which I’m sure it’s terrible), my first thought in hearing all this is money, and how if anything like this happened to me I don’t know if I’d ever financially recover. It’s so bad in so many ways. My heart breaks for those who, not only went through trauma just getting through the the chemo, but were financially fucked forever
I've watched two of your videos now and am hooked. I did not know you have cancer, and I wish you the best. God bless you and stay strong. I'm sure you inspire many future medical professionals with how to properly care for their patients.
This is the first channel ever I've encounteted, that covers medical malpractice. This is a great idea!
I am saddened to hear you yourself have to undergo cancer treatment. Wishing you the best possible health outcomes and good luck with your channel, this is such a niche subject I am your loyal follower from now on 😊
I want to tell you how much I enjoy your delivery of these fascinating medical crimes. I know your channel will grow quickly.
Just subscribed, you not only clearly have done your research but you can translate judicial and medical jargon so clearly and professionally. It just feels very respectful of the victims yet engaging enough for laypeople to understand :)) keep up the great work!
Bless your heart Ms Petal! I knew that you actually sounded as if you'd been on chemotherapy! I hope that you have a great doctor and that your be fully cancer free soon! ❤️ I remember my own voice being like yours during that time. Thank you for keeping this case in the forefront because we as people who have dealt with cancer, we tend too trust anything that the doctor tells us, when all we want to do is to feel better and live. 🙏🏾
I work at a medical school in Texas and I just want to say that your videos are amazing! Thank you for presenting these extremely important topics in such a professional way.
I need to pause this issue for a minute. Was the doctor the only one investigated/penalized?
Initially I could write off anyone else’s involvement until two things were mentioned: no supporting tests/documentation that would warrant these tests/treatments. As well as the mentioning of the various insurance companies that were scammed.
I used to be a certified medical coder. Ironically, my mom owned her own medical billing company. Though we never worked together .
I can all but guarantee he had assistance from others who had to be aware of his scam.
For every single claim filed to insurance must include the appropriate medical code in order for insurance to reimburse. Even back then! Insurance has obnoxious hoops you must jump through before they’ll even consider paying these types of prices. If there’s no documentation in the medical record to support the doctors actions, then there sure as shit isn’t enough to get an insurance company to pay for it! Someone had to code that stuff. If the documentation isn’t there, how the hell did it get filed/billed?!
Literally the definition of an evil monster. He subjected THOUSANDS of people to probably the worst pain of their lives. I hope he suffers in prison and truly feels the despair he caused his patients. Thank you for bringing light to his crimes in this video, and RIP to the victims.
I had never heard of this before. What a horrible man. I can't imagine the pain and trauma these people went through.
New subscriber here. I really enjoyed your format and pace.
Just seeing your channel for the first time today. Great job. Keep it up. People need to know how corrupt and unethical the medical establishment has become. I’m in my 30th year of health care and I can’t get out. It’s so bad.
you did an amazing job, thank you so much for telling these patients story in a way that focused on what horrible things where done to these poor people. I see your fairly new and you will have my support. keep up the amazing work. i look forward to each and every video you put your time and effort into.
This is the second video I've watched on your channel and I have to say you have such a talent for covering these stories. I'm so excited to watch all of them
Amazing channel!! Sending strength and prayers to you on your wellness journey!! ❤️
Ah thank you so much! I really appreciate that a lot ❤️
Just discovered your channel-- you are awesome in so many ways! Thank you for sharing with us!
Thank you so much for watching! So glad you’re here and I appreciate your kind words! ❤️
I love your delivery. It’s respectful, clear and detailed!
He should be given chemotherapy so he feels like his patients who never had cancer.
Excellent video, thank you! Instant fan!
Ah thank you so much! I’m glad you enjoyed it!
I have a family history of leukemia and this absolutely terrifies me.
Also, this is the second video of yours I've come across and you do an amazing job at relaying the story
The way he kept patients away from other doctors is horribly familiar. My friend had a primary care doctor who used HIPAA to spy on her patients, and she contacted every doctor my friend went to. And since my friend was very sick - and the doctor was ignorant, irrational, possibly nuts, and apparently very persuasive - this turned out to be lethal. I wish she could have seen a doctor like Dr. Maunglay.
I can't believe Fata was only accused of fraud. How about hundreds of counts of malpractice, theft, poisoning, torture, and probably murder.
It's funny how the insurance companies just went along with him. These same companies have been known to do things like claim that a wheelchair is not medical necessary for someone with no legs. And they also prefer to prevent patients from getting essential tests for as long as possible. Their theory is if they delay the patient, then the patient will go away (i.e. die). And yet they handed tons of cash to Fata. Maybe fake cancer looks more convincing then real cancer. But why pay for unusual treatments? Bribery?
I came across your channel several days ago and started watching, and I really like the way you explain and tell the stories. You have a calming voice. I am also going through chemo for appendix cancer, and it’s making me feel horrible. I can’t imagine being o retreated like these patients were. That’s just evil! Can you imagine their pain, the stomach issues including nausea and vomiting, the fatigue, etc. Not to mention if they survived, what did it do to their organs long term? It’s tragic.
👏🏽 IF 👏🏽 YOU 👏🏽 SEE 👏🏽 SOMETHING 👏🏽 THEN 👏🏽 YOU 👏🏽 SAY 👏🏽 SOMETHING 👏🏽
We need to encourage more whistleblowing of wrongdoing. The more people that reports, the less authorities are able to ignore an issue. In situations like this, it’s literally life and death. I can’t wrap my head around how people can go into the medical field to deliberately cause harm to others or stand by while they witness mistreatment. What if it was done to them or one of their loved ones!? That’s so abhorrent.
You have found a new niche on TH-cam that ppl are very interested in. I predict your channel will blow up.
First timer here! This video was so well done! Keep up the great work !!
Glad you're here! Thank you so much, I appreciate that!
32:30You were perfect! I just subscribed to your channel. I was impacted by your empathy and compassion. I hope you are well and continue to be so. ❤
