Pure Greed
There are bad apples in all professional. This dude is one of them. A “New York City cardiologist with offices on Fifth Avenue and in New Jersey admits he intentionally misdiagnosed up to 80 percent of his patients with heart problems so he could collect millions in extra Medicare money.” How much money? Well, about $19 million. Talk about a lowlife.
By the way, when I was googling him I found that his Healthgrades showed great patient satisfaction ratings!
This is the continuation of another story from this time last year. A non-licensed graduate of an unaccredited foreign medical school worked at this same practice from 2004 to 2008.
