Doctor killer (not Kevorkian!)

A Michigan oncologist who gave $35 million in needless chemotherapy to patients — some of whom didn't even have cancer — will likely spend the rest of his life in prison.
Fata scammed more than 500 of his patients, according to court papers cited by NBC, either by misdiagnosing them just so he could bill healthcare companies or giving chemo to end-of-life patients who wouldn't benefit and had to endure the treatment's nasty side effects during their final days.
...
The FBI also alleges that after one patient fell and hit his head in Fata's office, the doctor told him he should complete chemo before going to the hospital, according to the AP. The patient reportedly died from his head injury.
