Don't know if this is old news but it was new to me and maybe to some on this site.
Dr. Sean Orr in Florida basically ran a scam involving patients where he diagnosed MS where MS did not exists. He is still allowed to practice medicine. This just makes getting a second or even third opinion critical. http://www.nbcnews.com/health/health...siness-n395716 |

Thanks for calling attention to this. Many of us tend to trust doctors just because they are doctors. There are those who abuse that trust, unfortunately.

Wow - all I can say....
[ In 2013, Orr had his license suspended for a year for allegedly having sex with one patient, and two months ago he agreed to pay $150,000 to the Justice Department to settle a whistle-blower fraud suit over the bogus bills without admitting wrongdoing. But an NBC News investigation has found that Orr — who maintains he "operated within the standard of care" — is back in business, practicing medicine in a new Florida city even as the U.S. attorney weighs possible criminal charges. ] from link that was posted in first post.

nothing is going to change until our laws start holding white collar criminals accountable for wrongdoing. and dr/pt wrongdoing is tops on my list.
just because they can get $$$ out of him doesn't make the wrongdoing go away. this really makes me sooooo mad.
