Fake Operations?

 So I'll tell this story the best I can, but you probably will believe it's pretty fake.

To start off with....there is this medical condition called Barret syndrome.  You basically have a 'path' that leads from the mouth to the stomach, and because of acid reflix....your walls of the path become inflamed.

To counter this....you typically go to medications to lessen the stomach acids.  On very rare occasions (extreme)....you can have surgery.  

I'll just say....it is a unpleasant condition to have.

So RBB brought this up today....that a medical clinic around Berlin has been brought into court.   There's this German clinic which had two doctors, and for a period of five years....they conducted around 1,000 fake operations involving the Barret syndrome people. 

Surgical procedures were scheduled.....patient arrived...put into sedition, and at end....wheeled out an told it was a successful operation, while nothing was done.

Bill?  Sent to the insurance company.

Getting rich off this?  Best I can say is that bills and receipts occurred.  The guy who put the patients asleep...probably figure up to around 130,000 Euro.

Prosecutor now contacting folks?  Well....I am wondering how you explain this to folks.....they spent a day in a operating room and recovery area....probably getting another five to ten days of sick-leave on 'recovery' status.

Insurance companies recovering their money?  I doubt it.

Jail-time?  No one says much.
