Hootan Roozrokh? I think I'll just wikipedia my illnesses from now on, and do all my surgery at home.

Sounds like a case of murder for profit to me.

I asked this question on another thread yesterday, and I still don’t know the answer.

I thought transplant surgeons didn’t have any access to the patient until they had already been declared brain dead by the patient’s doctors, and until it had been determined the patient was a consenting donor (or had family’s permission)

So, I’m left wondering how was it this man could order medicine for the patient?

How is it he had any access to his man whatsoever?

They need to investigate Hootan’s case history.

"The case centres on...Hootan Roozrokh, a transplant surgeon in California..."

I wonder where he was transplanted from.

A case like this will get people thinking twice before they sign up for organ donation.

Under Hillary’s Health Care plan, this will happen every day.

According to the always reliable (ahem) Debbie Schlussel, this guy is a Muslim Terrorist doctor. Allah made him do it, apparently.

I heard about this earlier, and my question is wouldn't killing someone with drugs render the organs unusable?

I remember a story from several years ago about a guy who locked himself in his car in his garage and shot himself in the chest with a shotgun. Wasn't found for a couple of days. When he was found, he had a note stating he wanted to donate his organs. I hope his grave marker simply says 'DUH'...

This is perfectly acceptable in France.

Remember that woman who had the face transplant (After falling asleep high on crack?)

She got that face from a “donor” who was actually a “vegetable” and then that vegetable was kept alive to harvest more parts.

Then the french woman woke up and snuck out for a cigarette.

Sounds to me like this doctor watches too much “House”

When I am away from work, my hobbies include racing cars and playing golf. I THRIVE by endeavoring to practice good karma.

Precisely the reason that many people give for refusing to sign up for organ donation.

Now this criminal has proven that their argument has some validity.
