In the end the doctors will all be legally vindicated of fraud allegations. The facility fees of surgery centers and hospitals are not the responsibility of the doctors. Therefore, the $30M scam as alleged is BOGUS. In healthcare, insurance companies do not pay charges and the three doctors combined facility fee collections totalled approximately $5M. None of the three doctors had access to the facility fees.

The Orange County DA claims the doctors performed unnecessary surgery but where is the assault and battery charge if true. Screening colonoscopies and diagnostic laparoscopies are diagnostic procedures as well as surgeries.

The "bad guys" have already plead guilty to their crimes. In total 17 people including the three doctors have been arrested and charged with crimes in this case. The DA's star witness is a convicted felon?

Is the DA really committed to busting doctors? Over 25 doctors in Orange County perfoemd cases at Unity.

This is a sensationalized case involving an overzealous DA who will lose in a court of law.

The lesson here is that if you hang out with dogs prepare to get fleas.
