High-profile Oklahoma abortion doctor no longer practicing medicine

Naresh Patel

OKLAHOMA CITY A high-profile abortion doctor is no longer practicing medicine after his recent arrest.

An undercover investigation found Dr. Naresh Patel was selling abortion drugs to patients who werent even pregnant.

Last week, despite his arrest for fraud, Patel was still allowed to practice medicine in Oklahoma. At that time,the state medical board said they had no plans for a hearing concerning Dr. Patels medical license.

Oklahoma Attorney General Scott Pruitt said he wanted the state medical board to step in and take away Dr. Patels medical license.

They have ample reason to review whether he should be practicing medicine in the state of Oklahoma. From my perspective, he shouldn`t be. There`s a process to address this and the board should implement that process,Pruitt said.

As of December 29, Patel is no longer practicing medicine, according to the Oklahoma Board of Medical Licensure and Supervision website.

Earlier this month,NewsChannel 4 spoke with one of Patels former patients. She claims he lied to her about how far along she was in her pregnancy so he could charge her more money.

They said, well that`s going to be another 500 dollars, the woman said.

She says they didnt give her any anesthesia and the pain was unbearable.

Adult Swim's allergy relief commercial turns surreal

"Unedited Footage of a Bear" parody video shows the perils of allergy medicine side effects as a horror film. Next time, read the small print.

Late-night infomercials seem so surreal it's difficult to tell what's real and what's another bizarre parody meant to make the viewer question his or her sanity. Enter Adult Swim's 4 a.m. "Infomercials" series. "Too Many Cooks," which poked fun at every '80s and '90s TV sitcom ever made, went viral last month. Adult Swim's follow-up is a short infomercial parody titled "Unedited Footage of a Bear."

While the video starts with what looks like someone's camping footage of a bear in the wild, it's cut off with one of those annoying prescription allergy medicine commercials.

The advert is designed to look like a YouTube pre-roll ad that many of us have conditioned ourselves like lab rats to click the SKIP AD arrow to get to the video we want to watch. But in fact, you can't skip the commercial, as this is the video we were meant to see.

The infomercial depicts a mom enjoying a sneeze-free day with her kids in the park thanks to a fake allergy medicine called "Claridryl." The medicine, which is clearly mocking real allergy medicine Claritin and Benadryl, promises to "Act immediately; lasts indefinitely." "Don't risk another minute," commercial mom states in the video. "Take Claridryl. And take life in your hands."

Those of us who must suffer through extreme allergies of everything from pollen to dust mites know that without taking antihistamines we'd sneeze ourselves out of existence.

Unfortunately, taking allergy medicines mean you have to go about your day while battling a long list of side effects such as dry mouth, drowsiness, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, itching, restlessness, moodiness, blurred vision and confusion.

In some cases, people taking various allergy medicines will encounter hallucinations, fast heartbeats, seizures, involuntary quivering, nightmares, ringing in the ears and nervousness. But what if these typical side effects take a turn for the worse? That's exactly what happens in this violent and creepy video from Adult Swim.

Internal medicine doctors in short supply

Posted on by

CHEYENNE - Cheyenne Regional Medical Center plans to recruit more internal medicine doctors to the Capital City.

"There is a definite community need for internal medicine physicians," Margo Karsten, chief executive officer at CRMC, said, adding that the issue is a national concern. "In Cheyenne, we need to quickly address it."

Internal medicine doctors are specialists who diagnose and treat adults.

An internal medicine doctor is a primary care physician who often treats one or more chronic illnesses in the same patient. A patient may have heart disease, high blood pressure and diabetes, for example.

Hospital officials hope to recruit three to five internal medicine doctors in 2015, she said. After that, they will re-evaluate and decide how to proceed.

These new internal medicine doctors could be employees of the hospital or work in private practice here, she said.

"The focus on primary care is a strategic imperative for this organization," Karsten wrote in a report to CRMC's board of trustees.

CRMC now has affiliations with two internal medicine doctors and a nurse practitioner.

The hospital's search accelerated after an internal medicine doctor recently left a strong independent practice called IMG, Karsten said.

Cheyenne Medical Specialists practice has three internal medicine doctors. CMS is affiliated with the University of Colorado health system based in Colorado.
