News that migrant detainees were undergoing forced sterilization procedures captured the nation's interest only for a few minutes and of course, then they moved on. It's corporate media is such, it's such a train wreck.

Well, you know, the president got sick and, oh my God. And there was a debate and we missed the real stories that are happening in this country.

Talk about this. This is a nauseating story. The only thing, the only positive on this, the only positive is, is at this point, they don't have all the evidence on this case. If they do, this is a very, very ugly case.

Right. So basically to take it back, I guess, about a month or so ago, a whistleblower nurse who had worked at this detention facility, woman by the name of Dawn Wooten came out and said, listen, there is evidence that says there is an abnormally, large number of hysterectomies being performed on the women in this Georgia detention facility. Shortly after that you had some of these women start coming forward and say, yes, I'm, I'm actually one of them. I had a hysterectomy. They didn't exactly tell me why it was happening, or they may have exaggerated the number of cysts that I had because of follow-up at another appointment said, no, this was not surgically necessary.

See, that's where, that's where the screw turns, you see. This doctor who they call the uterus collector.

Oh god.

I mean, that's his, that's his name, the uterus collector. Well, he says I did this because there was this, this large number of cysts, ovarian cysts that really concerned me. And I don't know how many women he saw, but right now there's at least five to seven women that I've been able to calculate in these stories. Is that number sound about, right?

Right. So far from what we know, that's how many there are, but this doctor has a bit of a troubled history. I was, I was looking through it actually earlier today, trying to find more backstory on this man. And it turns out back in 2015, he got popped by the DOJ. A very easy slap on the wrist, kind of pop.

Yeah.

But he had submitted, according to the DOJ, fraudulent claims under Medicaid and Medicare. And he was fraudulent billing. He was saying, oh, I performed this procedure, this procedure and this procedure, it turns out he didn't perform them. He was just doing it to get extra money. And that was five years ago that he was fined for it, activity going all the way back to 2013. So this to me is one of those stories had they actually punished the man.

Right, right.

He wouldn't have been around to do this.

It's, it's always the same story.

It is.

They will not perp walk CEOs of corporations. They will rarely perp doctors for this kind of thing. They slap them on the wrist and then they move on. But you see that, that fits so perfectly into this story.

It does.

Obviously, if he's doing a hysterectomy, the billable number on that is higher. He comes up with an X Ray to remove cysts. Well, you know, it, it, it's a fairly substantial number of, of involvement of cysts and those types of blockage possibilities that raise the need for surgery. And so the women that were looked at at least a few of them went back for a second opinion, said, did they, did he really have to do that? And then of course it's, it's, it's Monday, it's Monday night quarter, Monday morning quarterbacking.

Right.

But the doctors say, no, he didn't. But if you look at this guy's history, you have to believe that you can't change the stripes on a zebra, you know.
