Ohio Bans Doctor After Botched Surgeries on TikTok Threaten Patients’ Lives
Freeman writes:
Yesterday, an Ohio plastic surgeon, Katharine Grawe-who accumulated nearly 15 million likes by livestreaming operations on TikTok as "Doctor Roxy"-was permanently banned from practicing medicine and surgery in Ohio.
The decision came following a November 2022 suspension temporarily barring Grawe from seeing patients after the State Medical Board of Ohio reviewed "clear and convincing evidence" from multiple patients who were harmed during Grawe's livestreamed surgeries. The board decided to suspend Grawe's license, saying that her "continued practice presents a danger of immediate and serious harm to the public."
