The Cancer Doctor Who Did the Unthinkable | The Horrific Crimes of Farid Fata

Dr. Farid Fata falsely diagnosed over 500 patients with cancer, administering unnecessary and harmful treatments to fraudulently bill Medicare over $200 million.

Whistleblowers, including staff and a fellow doctor, uncovered the scheme, leading to Fata’s arrest, conviction, and 45-year prison sentence.

Victims suffered severe physical and emotional damage, with some dying from complications caused by treatments they never needed.
