A Virginia doctor allegedly performed hysterectomies and tied a patient's fallopian tubes without consent, federal authorities say.
When the woman later obtained her medical records, the surgery was described as “elective” and cancer was not mentioned, they said.
The woman, who had gone to Pervaiz for post-menopausal bleeding, later told investigators she had not experienced any of those symptoms, and Perwaiz had warned her only about the potential consequences, including cancer, if she did not undergo the procedure. Another woman who saw Perwaiz for an ectopic pregnancy later visited a fertility specialist for help getting pregnant. The specialist said both her fallopian tubes “were burnt down to the nubs, making natural conception impossible,” according to the documents.Perwaiz lost his admitting privileges in 1982 at a hospital in nearby Portsmouth for performing unnecessary surgeries and poor clinical judgement, according to the documents.
