The medical-school-to-prison pipeline continues to widen

The medical-school-to-prison pipeline continues to widen













Dr. Punyamurtula Kishore of Massachusetts was recently found guilty of fraudulently billing for unnecessary drug testing. Dr. Kishore allegedly collected urine samples from drug treatment centers and billed the Medicaid provider for testing them, even though the patients were not being treated by his clinics and the tests were not medically necessary. He was sentenced to 11 months in prison, forced to surrender his medical license, and ordered to pay $9.3 million in restitution.
