2014年9月19日,美国密歇根州底特律,市中心的地方法庭外阳光和煦,法庭内却正在
进行着一场气氛压抑的审讯。
被告席上是一位49岁的略胖的中年男子。他的名字叫法里得·法塔(Farid Fata)。
法塔是来自黎巴嫩的移民,在底特律,他是一位小有名气的肿瘤科医生。
法塔医生低着头,双手戴着手铐,穿着明红色的囚服,站起身来,声音清晰地说:“
我认罪。”
法塔认罪的消息立刻传遍了整个美国。各大媒体均以醒目的位置予以报道,有的媒体甚
至以“Dr. Evil(恶魔医生)”为题,吸引了很多读者的眼球。很多美国人对此瞠目结
舌,感到难以相信。
到底法塔医生干了什么惊天动地的大事,这位平素被病人信任的肿瘤专家何以被媒体
称为恶魔呢?
检察官控诉法塔的罪名是将健康的病人故意诊断为癌症,然后给予完全不必要的化疗
,或者让明明病情恶化了的癌症患者相信治疗有效,以便继续化疗。他因此从美国的医
疗救助系统Medicare获得高额的收入,共诈取总金额高达3500万美元,受害患者可能多
达1200位。
法庭上,法塔低头说:“这是我自己的选择。”面对检察官和法官,他承认以上所有
罪名,包括故意揭去药物标签,隐瞒药名,欺骗患者,牟取暴利。他每承认一项罪名,
都加上一句:“我知道这在医学上是不合理,不必要的。”
法塔医生今年49岁,是三个孩子的父亲。当日承认检察官指控的一共13项医疗欺诈,两
项洗钱罪名,一项获取非法回扣和阴谋罪。明年2月23日,美国地方法官Paul Borman将
宣判他的刑期。
地方女检察官Barbara McQuade对媒体说她们的目标是终身监禁,称此案是她们办公室
所见的“前所未有的,最骇人听闻的”医疗欺诈案件。法塔医生不仅仅通过医疗欺诈欺
骗美国政府,获取高额金钱,最严重也是最不可容忍的是他刻意给健康的人化疗,带来
无穷恶果,伤害了很多人的身体。
据美国媒体报道,检察官在法庭上详细列举法塔的罪行,“此案中,嫌疑人法塔医生
欺骗患者,给予没有癌症的患者注射完全不必要的化疗药物,本质上就是给健康人注射
有毒物质”,“一个医生为了金钱利益就敢于置患者健康于不顾,用有毒药物伤害患者
身体,光想想就不寒而栗。在法塔医生的眼里,患者不是一个个有血有肉的人,而仅仅
是可以用来牟利的商品,这一点上讲,他独一无二,举世罕有”。
法塔医生出生在黎巴嫩,10年前搬到密歇根州,2009年刚刚入美国籍。从2007年开始
,在他自己开设的散落在密歇根州多处城市的血液肿瘤中心里,开始他的这些骇人听闻
的罪行。他拥有7处肿瘤治疗诊所,并且拥有一家临床检验设施,这就为他假造诊断结
果提供了方便。根据检察官提供的资料,从2007年8月到2013年7月期间,法塔共治疗了
多达1200名“肿瘤”患者,进行化疗次数不计其数,总共从州Medicare系统开出多达2.
2亿美元账单,Medicare向他支出9100万美元,自己获利约3500万美元,其中有4800万
是用于癌症化疗和其他治疗的治疗费。他利用患者对他的信任,给多达上千名患者错误
的诊断,欺骗本没有癌症的患者,告诉他们患上了癌症或者血液恶性肿瘤,然后开始高
剂量的化疗,这一罪行持续了5-6年时间,不知道导致多少患者倾家荡产。因为私人诊
所缺乏同行监督和政府的有效监管,导致罪恶悄悄地进行,没有被及早发觉。
揭开这一惊天罪行的是一位肿瘤科护士。她的名字叫安吉拉·斯万特克(Angela
Swantek)。在这桩案件中,她的确是一位安吉拉(天使),名如其人用在她身上可谓
恰如其分。在当天的法庭上,斯万特克也在场。她听到法塔认罪后,流下了眼泪。她对
记者说:“我不知该说什么好。但我一点不吃惊,我知道这是事实。我本来还好奇他的
律师团怎样给他辩护,但显然事实无法狡辩。我感觉可以长长地出一口气了。”
斯万特克今年45岁,来自密歇根的城市Royal Oak。她于2010年初为了找工作,去法塔
的医疗中心进行工作面试。面试过程中,她细心地看到患者的化疗非常不合常规,心中
起了很大疑心。面试一完,她立刻回了家。当天,斯万特克就给州医疗管理委员会写了
一封长信,建议委员会调查法塔医生。
很遗憾的是,她的信石沉大海,杳无音讯。直到2011年,密歇根州医疗委员会回信给
她,结论是“没有发现任何医疗欺诈或者医疗事故发生”。
心急如焚的斯万特克疑虑更深,但作为一个护士,却也无可奈何。到了2013年,她看
到了联邦政府开始调查法塔诊所的新闻,欣喜若狂。当天在法庭外接受记者采访时,斯
万特克说:“我在2010年就举报了他,州政府却什么也没干。当我听到联邦政府开始调
查他的消息时,我忍不住大哭,心中想起那些他伤害过的患者。”
法塔将为13项医疗欺诈面临最高可达175年的刑期,加上总共25万美元的罚款,此外,
洗钱罪名将可能带来20年监禁,加上50万美元罚款。另外,法塔因介绍病人而收受来自
“天使护卫”的临终关怀医院和家庭保健设施的非法回扣,将面临其他相应判决。但检
察官McQuade说,虽然法塔承认了13项医疗欺诈罪名,但他伤害的患者远不止这个数,
可能有几百上千,她们将继续控告他,明年的判决将全力以赴力争终身监禁。
这个恶魔医生是怎样做到不仅仅欺骗病人,也欺骗或者隐瞒了诊所的其他医生呢?
根据检察官公布在网上的起诉书,法塔医生在他的诊所完全是一手遮天,施行独裁管
理。一位医生向检察官交代,法塔每天将病人的病历和检查单带回家,申明他是在家里
管理档案。另一位医生说,在法塔诊所,法塔一人确定所有病人的最终诊断和治疗方案
,他形容在法塔诊所工作就像是“生活在地狱”,他并且多次悄悄告诉患者去别的地方
就医,听取别的医生的意见。他还证实,法塔甚至多次给终末期癌症患者使用超大剂量
的化疗药。另一位护士向美国联邦调查局证实,法塔医生通常是将处于癌症前期,或者
可疑的患者直接诊断为癌症,然后给予大剂量的化疗,主要是比较容易作假和不是很确
切的血液病患者,如白血病。而且法塔雇用大量从外国来的没有美国执照的医生帮助管
理病人,造成实质上一人专权的局面。同时他通过开诊断公司和药店,包揽了诊断和治
疗的所有流程,保证他掌控一切。
法塔医生的所为骇人听闻,既丧失了一个医生应有的医疗道德,更丧失了一个人最起
码的社会良知和对他人的同情,为了牟取暴利,将他人生命视为蝼蚁,最终成为举世震
惊的恶魔医生。
从这个事件中,可以吸取什么教训呢?作为管理部门,需要严格监察,有可疑行为,
则应该及时侦查。作为患者,最简单的保护自己的方法就是不要只完全信任一位医生,
在遇到严重疾病时,一定要听取第二位甚至第三位医生的意见,才可以避免这样的恶行
发生,保护自己的利益。

Angela Swantek, a chemotherapy nurse who blew the whistle on Fata to state
authorities in 2010, was in the courtroom during Fata's guilty plea. She
said she was relieved to hear him admit to things she witnessed years ago in
his office. "I'm numb," she said in a court hallway. "I'm not surprised
though; I wondered how his team was going to defend him. The charts don't
lie."
Swantek, 45, of Royal Oak, said she went to Fata's office for a job
interview in 2010 when she saw patients getting chemotherapy in a manner
that wasn't correct. "I left after an hour and half. I thought this is
insane," she said.
That same day, Swantek went home and wrote a letter to the state and
suggested they investigate him.
According to Swantek, the state did nothing and notified her in 2011 that
they had found no wrongdoing.
"I handed them Dr. Fata on a platter in 2010 and they did absolutely nothing
," said Swantek, noting she was elated when she learned the federal
government charged Fata in 2013.
"I started crying," she said. "I thought about all of the patients he took
care of and harmed."

2010年就举报,但州政府玩忽职守,直到2013年才有联邦政府调查,只判了个主谋就完
事了?
一个护士在面试时就发现了问题,在那些医疗中心正式工作多年的人就一点看不出问题
?尼玛就算不是同谋也是隐匿不报,该追究的吧?
把主犯判了,然后就皆大欢喜,可以上新闻邀功了,操!

Dr. Evil Pleads Guilty to Medicare Fraud and Giving Unnecessary Chemo
Treatments
Medicare fraud is pervasive in Detroit and elsewhere in the country. The U.S
. Attorney's Office here is constantly prosecuting cases, some involving
some very big amounts of money.
But no case in recent times has garnered more attention in Detroit than the
Medicare fraud scandal involving oncologist/hematologist Dr. Farid Fata of
Oakland County, who was not only accused of bilking Medicare of tens of
millions of dollars, but of also misdiagnosing patients, telling them they
had cancer when they didn't, and of giving unnecessary chemotherapy to
people, some of whom didn't even have cancer or couldn't have possibly
benefited at the stage of cancer they were in.
The case was simply a scary reminder that someone in a position of authority
and trust can take advantage of people in their most vulnerable state.
On Tuesday, Dr. Fata, 49, of Oakland Township, pleaded guilty in U.S.
District Court to several counts of health care fraud, money laundering and
conspiracy, according to a press release from the U.S. Attorney's Office.
Specifically, Fata pleaded guilty to 13 counts of health care fraud, one
count of conspiracy to pay or receive kickbacks and two counts of money
laundering. Sentencing is set for Feb. 23 where he could face some serious
prison time and fines.
"At a time when they are most vulnerable and fearful, cancer patients put
their lives in the hands of doctors and endure risky treatments at their
recommendation,” Assistant Attorney General Leslie R. Caldwell of the
Justice Department's Criminal Division said in a statement.
“Dr. Fata today admitted he put greed before the health and safety of his
patients, putting them through unnecessary chemotherapy and other treatments
just so that he could collect additional millions from Medicare. The mere
thought of what he did is chilling. Thanks to the quick action of our
partners, he was arrested and has now admitted his guilt.”
Fata operated a cancer treatment clinic, Michigan Hematology Oncology, which
had offices in Rochester Hills, Clarkston, Bloomfield Hills, Lapeer,
Sterling Heights, Troy and Oak Park. He also owned a diagnostic testing
facility, United Diagnostics PLLC, in Rochester Hills.
Authorities said that Fata submitted approximately $225 million in claims to
Medicare between August 2007 and July 2013. In the end, Medicare paid out
more than $91 million to Fata, of which over $48 million was for
chemotherapy and other cancer treatments.
In court on Tuesday, the doctor read aloud an admission that he submitted
false Medicare and insurance claims and ordered “medically unnecessary”
treatments, according to the Detroit News.
The plea came just weeks before his Oct. 14 trial.
The News quoted Liz Lupo, the daughter of a former Fata patient who died of
lung cancer in 2007. She expressed disappointment in the plea.
“He’s not being charged with enough,” she said. “He pled guilty to a
handful of patients when there were thousands. We wanted to hear the details
about how he was allowed to (do this).”
