Doc Who Gave Chemo to Healthy Patients to Be Sentenced

A Michigan doctor who diagnosed hundreds of healthy patients with cancer in order to make them get unnecessary chemo and radiation treatments will have his sentencing hearing open this week. After Dr. Farid Fata was arrested in 2013 and charged in what a prosecutor said was the "most egregious" case of healthcare fraud in the U.S. history. "I have so much hatred towards Fata. His name causes an instant headache," Robert Sobieray,62, told NBC News. In 2010, Fata diagnosed Sobieray with a rare blood cancer and subjected him to monthly infusions of chemotherapy and three weeks of radiationโ€”expensive treatments that he said made his teeth fall out and his body twitch uncontrollably.
