Will the fertility Doctor Michael Kamrava ( 8-octuplets) face the California Medical Board ?
In September, the American Society for Reproductive Medicine booted the doctor from that organization, but the CMD has taken no action yet.

Background:
Dr. Michael Kamrava is the clinic director, and, as CBS News correspondent Sandra Hughes reports, outside his office late Monday he didn't want to talk.
In a 2006 interview, Suleman credited the doctor for the birth of her other children -- she has six between the ages of 2 and 7 -- three are reportedly disabled.
"Without the doctor, I wouldn't have any children, so that's what's amazing about it," Suleman said.
But questions have been raised about her financial ability to care for all 14. Her publicist admits she's getting $490 a month in food stamps and federal assistance for the disabled children -- something she denied.

The California Medical Board says it is investigating the doctor who implanted Suleman, but didn't name Kamrava. The consequences could range from a reprimand to loss of medical license.
Dr. Jeffrey Steinberg, who has known Kamrava professionally for some 20 years, spoke with Early Show co-anchor Harry Smith about his colleague.
"Prior to this case he's been considered a respected part of the fertility community," Steinberg noted. "Humble, well qualified and really wouldn't raise an eyebrow among us."
"And knowing what we know now?" Smith asked.
"Well, concerned. We, again, don't want to jump to conclusions, but some of the details that are coming together distress us," Steinberg said.

Flagged by admin: I love, Love, LOVE this question, but we need to figure out what to do with combinations. I can't imagine he would be fined without a reprimand as well. Suspended pending review.
Thanks for the suspension ! no need to void, only to refrase it ! send all last wagers here
