Sinister surgeon deceives 152 women skips country and avoids authorities

A ROGUE surgeon performed unnecessary, unauthorised - and in some cases botched surgery - on 152 WA women in a suspected money-making scheme.
In 141 cases, he risked serious complications, including making the women infertile.

In several other cases, the now-banned medico was responsible for horrific blunders.
His reckless actions carried on unchecked in Perth hospitals for more than four years before he was stopped and banned. Until today, the scandal has been cloaked in secrecy because of a court order obtained by the wealthy surgeon's lawyers.

After a marathon and expensive legal fight, The Sunday Times can finally tell the WA public what happened.
Dr Naimish Patel patients have told of major surgical errors such as attaching the uterus to the bowel, slicing arteries, performing vaginal "resizings" when they were not needed and incorrectly performed internal procedures.

In 2009, Patel, who has since fled the country, pleaded guilty to misconduct and gross carelessness before the State Administrative Tribunal.
One charge related to him performing unnecessary secondary operations without the consent of his patients.
After delivering babies through caesarean sections, he removed benign growths, known as fimbrial cysts, from patients' fallopian tubes. These ranged in size from pinheads to large marbles.

He did not tell his patients or seek their consent for the added procedure which netted him extra money despite the heightened risk of infertility and other serious complications.

A confidential Health Department briefing paper obtained by The Sunday Times shows that between October 2001 and January 2006 the surgeon performed these extra operations on at least 141 patients after he delivered their babies. Eleven gynaecological procedures were also identified.
Authorities first discovered irregularities in September 2005, according to the paper.
It referred to the Patel’s "billing practice" billing hospitals for the original operations and the removal of the cysts, which reaped him an extra $384 to $492 a patient.

The "billing practice" significantly increased during 2004 and 2005.
In May 2006, the Medical Board won an interim order to stop the surgeon performing the second operations. A month later, it applied to indefinitely suspend Dr Patel.

A full briefing on the case was provided to then South Metropolitan Area Health Service chief executive Peter Flett, then health director Neale Fong and former health minister Jim McGinty in August 2007. They all agreed that "open disclosure" should occur to all patients who "may" have suffered some harm, according to the briefing.
A month later, authorities began making contact with patients. Twenty-four cases were deemed serious enough to require senior health staff to phone patients and tell them to seek immediate medical attention.
Of those, six were referred to specialists for further checks. Other patients were sent letters informing them they had secondary surgery they did not know about.

Over the same period, several patients filed complaints with the Medical Board over botched gynaecological procedures by the same surgeon.
Thirteen proceedings were launched by the Medical Board against Patel, involving nine patients.
The first case, which was filed in November 2005, involved an incorrectly performed hysterectomy that left the woman completely numb in her uterus region.

Another case involved repeated botched gynaecological operations on a 16-year-old.
The surgeon left WA in early 2007.

In March 2009, he was permanently stripped of his right to work as a doctor in WA after he was found guilty of "disgraceful or dishonourable" conduct for lying about the complaints against him while trying to get work in South Africa.

Almost all the details of the scandal had been kept secret because a blanket suppression order was granted after the surgeon's lawyers argued he was at risk of self-harm if the case became public. Which has later been dismissed as another lie or attempt to obfuscate the truth.

The Sunday Times won a partial lifting of the order, allowing it to publish today's story. The newspaper spent more than $120,000 in its legal battle.

More victims of the surgeon may now surface.
The WA Health Department issued a statement on Friday about the surgeon.

It said: "Dr Naimish Patel was regularly billing for secondary medical procedures while performing obstetric and gynaecological surgery. Independent reviews found that these procedures were not medically indicated.
"WA Health reported Dr Naimish Patel to the WA Medical Board in 2006 following concerns about his practices. Immediate action was taken to stop him from operating in WA and a clinical review was conducted to determine the number of women who may have been affected by the additional secondary procedures. He ceased employment at WA Health in early 2006.
"WA Health identified 141 obstetric and 11 gynaecological patients who may have been affected by the secondary procedures.

WA Health contacted the women, but was unsuccessful in 13 cases despite all efforts.
"These women have been offered counselling and referral to a medical specialist if necessary," the report said.
"WA Health condemns the actions of this doctor and regrets any harm and distress he has caused patients and their families."

A Medical Board official said: "Ultimately the practitioner was deregistered as a result of the action taken by the board.
"Surgical procedures generally involved risk to the patient and it is unacceptable to carry out any surgical procedure unnecessarily.
"It is also unacceptable to carry out a surgical procedure without the patient having given his or her consent."

Article published by IOL in South Africa here.

A disgraced gynaecologist and obstetrician who applied for a job at Grey's Hospital in Pietermaritzburg has been barred from ever practising medicine in Western Australia again.

Just how close he came to practising in this country is evident from Grey's Hospital's 2007/08 annual report which stated that Dr N Patel had been appointed as a "consultant in the department and will join us from Australia in January, 2008".

The newspaper said the doctor, who was involved in what could possibly be the state's biggest medical scandal, was believed to be living in South Africa with his wife, who was also a doctor.

False declaration

The paper also reported that the judge found that Dr Patel had made a false declaration to the Health Professions Council of South Africa, stating that no proceedings were pending against him in any country.

He had also provided fake certificates of good standing from the Medical Board of Western Australia and failed to disclose the actions against him in a phone interview with a senior officer at Grey's Hospital.

Epic92 Lights Up the World Music Scene With an Innovative, Contemporary Sound

The “International Super Duo” ignites the music industry with a fresh blend of  alternative urban rock and jazz.

Atlanta, GA– Atlanta is known as a hotspot for today’s biggest R&B, Hip-Hop, Rap and Jazz stars, and the popular adult alternative group Epic92 has been an energizing the music scene in “The Big Peach” with their innovative sound for more than 2 decades.  Now, with a new TV show and single about to drop, the group is garnering fans on a global level, and it looks like this is just the beginning for the talented duo.

Epic 92 is a comprised of Xanthe (ZANTHE), an impassioned singer known for her exotic, sultry voice, and Ktabbs Blink 85, an Atlanta native who is the extraordinary producer behind the group’s captivating sound.  Combining the best of original jazz with the timeless musical influences from the U.K., Xanthe and Ktabbs have topped Billboard charts over the years and opened for some of America’s most popular musicians including Keith Sweat, Calvin Richardson, Alyson Williams, Ruben Studdard , El Debarge, and Frankie Beverly.

It has not always, however,  been easy for Epic92.  Coming off a potential career ending car accident, the group recovered over the course of 3 years to successfully tour in the nation’s capital.  After creating a string of chart-topping hits, they returned to Atlanta and have clearly found the perfect niche and location for their special sound.  Atlanta’s rich diversity and varied music scene make it a perfect place to create, write and publish music all the while making contacts and friends along the way.

Looking to diversify themselves, the duo have signed to a new television production with the Soft Love Happy Hour Show which will be premiering in March of this year.  There are hints of the show’s potential to expand beyond RLTV, and the duo are open to new ways to develop the programming.

While the television show is exciting and has infinite possibilities, the team has not forgotten their roots and the loyal fans who have come to know and love their music. Their highly anticipated new album, Atlanta Lights,” will drop soon and the new single, Should’ve Known Betta will debut across the country in Febuary of this year. They will kick of the first leg of their tour in St Louis February 19th.

The Invoicing transition from the past to today

In the past, businesses have suffered set back and losses due to the  lack of proper documentation. The confusion, most times, arises between business owners and their customers because some clients may forget to pay for a service or a product that was sold to them due to the fact that there was no record to present for the transaction. Hence, the need to record every transaction done became necessary, to avoid future confusion.

Over the years, many business owners discovered that e-invoicing is a better way of making their client pay them faster and also a means for proper documentation. There is no more room for confusion or argument as all the transactions are recorded.

Manual Invoicing System

The manual invoicing system was adopted for sending bills to customers. Bills are prepared on paper using the information gotten from customers before they are given to the customers for payment. This process can be stressful especially when the company grows bigger with a large number of customers. Using manual invoicing system makes transaction to be slow and full of error.

Automated Invoicing System

Since manual invoicing system has not proven to be the best way to make a successful transaction and to keep a perfect record, the need for a more reliable and easy invoicing system arose. Automated invoicing system made transaction more flexible and faster because it helps in make transaction processes easier. The invoice is generated automatically from the information given by the customers. The invoice is then sent immediately to the client. This process gives no room for error as there will be proper documentation since it automatically stores customer’s details.
Now, business owners have adopted the system of integrating payment platform to their invoicing system, which makes it easier for customers to make payment. Customers can now make payment as soon the invoice is generated.

Hillary Clinton Supporters Call For “Healing” As Electoral College Casts Final Votes

More than 66 million Americans voted for Hillary Clinton in the 2016 Presidential election and a growing number of them are proudly, and peacefully making their voices heard.


Washington, D.C. - Many Americans struggling to regain their equilibrium after witnessing Hillary Clinton lose the White House to Donald Trump are hoping for a miracle that would alter the election results. Some hoped the Electoral College would adjust their votes on December 19 to change the outcome of the election, and make Hillary Clinton the President of the United States. Others, feeling left behind and silenced, are sincerely concerned with the future of the country. One group has chosen to focus on the “bigger picture.”

A passionate coalition of Americans started Popular President 2016 in an effort to help the nation heal by sharing an important message of solidarity. They’ve put their “Popular President 2016” graphic on mugs, cell phone covers, badges and eco-bags to give Hillary supporters a way to peacefully speak up. Much like the iconic “HOPE” logo from the Barack Obama campaign, the colorful Hillary Clinton: Popular President design has struck a chord with citizens who want to unite. The company is also offering T-shirts, printed pillows, and elegantly framed artwork at the PopularPresident2016.com website.

“Americans who voted for Clinton, and not Trump, can display their ideals proudly with the classic design we crafted,” said Richard Maynard, a spokesperson for Popular President 2016. “These items also make great gifts because a portion of each purchase contributes to charities that share these philosophies.”

Popular President 2016 believes our country has become divided by the election results, but have faith that most Americans were with Hillary and believed in the family values she stood for. They hope to stay on the path of hope and build on the accomplishments of the outgoing administration.

One of the reasons their graphic has resonated with voters, say staff, is because it offers an expression of “peaceful” opposition while allowing freedom of speech. Censorship is a concern after Trump’s comments about shutting down parts of the Internet and his threats to sue news organizations. Popular President 2016 promises to use portions of their product proceeds to support the charities and journalists that may be “under siege” in the next four years.

“We are going donate 50% of the EBITDA to the charities listed in our video,” says Richard Maynard. “We call them the Oliver 8 + the ACLU.

Despite the political debate and controversy, Popular President 2016 wants to extend an olive branch to the Republican Party. They would like to support the GOP and encourage them to closely monitor this new regime, for the good of all Americans.

To contribute to this cause, or buy merchandise that will support this effort, please visit PopularPresident2016.com.

About Popular President 2016 :

We wanted to share these designs as a way to keep the dialogue active, and to help in the healing. Trump may have won the White House, but Hillary won the People. We will donate to worthy groups such as the ACLU, the NAACP, Planned Parenthood, MALDEF, MRDC, and ProPublica.
