Okay. But I have some questions. Was the patient told this was experimental? After the patient was started on the HGH and insulin combination, were his blood sugars monitored in any consistent fashion? Patients are looking for a silver bullet for their problems and generally can't be expected to know that they are getting snakeoil or worse. This doctor is an ethical nightmare.

I am for experimenting as this is the only way science can evolve but the fact that after the doc was reprimanded he then used his own sister's med license to aquire drugs is just inexcusable. @RachLv How can you agree with that point?

This doctor was providing a service other doctors were not. Just because the treatment failed doesn't mean he should be stopped. The patient took the risk, the doctor shouldn't be punished.
