Completed medical school and "beginning" surgical training in 1977, be for immigrating to the United States. His early work was in the state of New York, where the first, of many, red-flags appeared.

Oregon:

Dr. Jayant Patel was a doctor, who worked for Kaiser-Permanente, here in Oregon. He was hired in 1989, and by 1992, was training young surgeons for Kaiser. His specialty was removing tumors and rebuilding colons.

In 1995, he was honored as the "Distinguished Physician of the Year." He had been voted this distinction by fellow Kaiser doctors. As he accepted this award there had already been patients who had died at Patel's hands and malpractice and wrongful-death suits, which had been filed, and some settled!

Kaiser began no investigation until 1998, and five more months to bar him from surgeries on the liver, pancreas and colon. The Oregon Board of Medical Examiners didn't do anything until 2000.

("Kaiser is the region's largest health maintenance organization, with a health plan covering 470,000 people in Oregon and Southwest Washington.")

He, later, in 2001, resigned from the HMO.

After resigning, he showed up in Australia, and with a little reworking of his resume, and not mentioning anything about his problems in Oregon, Dr. Patel, once, again, began his professional surgical work as Surgical Director of Bundaberg Base Hospital in Queensland, Australia.

The results: 13 deaths. The Australian press coined the name Dr. Death.

Australia issued an arrest warrant in 2006.

Now, finally, in 2008, Australia has requested the extradition of Patel to face manslaughter charges. If convicted he could receive three 100 year sentences.

This latest problem for Dr. Patel is just the tip of a very large iceberg. For a fully disclosed picture of the iceberg, itself, go to:

Read all three stories.

These three investigative reports about Dr. Patel, by the Portland Oregonian newspaper (2005-2008) will leave you shocked, at best.

They present an eye-opening peak into what the public never have access to regarding their doctors, even if it's life threatening, or could lead up to death, at the hands of who we would trust most with our health needs.
