Sounds like she lost her license for reasons having to do with patient care in addition to live-streaming her surgical procedures.
She also did it without her patients’ consent, which is a big no no.
You can film patients, they just have to agree. That is how you get professional popping videos.
Same thing happened on Brazil a couple years ago. I saw the censored videos published by newspapers and they were pretty disturbing, the surgeon was not doing tiktoks that could be classified as educational or informatives, but doing literal tiktok dances while the patient was opened up in front of the camera.
now I have this mental image of someone in surgical gear default dancing in the middle of a heart transplant.

I live in Cbus and this was such a bizarre story. I figured the ban hammer would fall sooner rather than later on this one.
Wouldn’t this be a blatant breach of HIPAA* regulations
Not if the patient consented. My first job out of college was filming procedures in the OR for a private plastic surgeon for his educational YouTube. They had to sign a waiver beforehand though. All perfectly legal she lost her licence because malpractice not specifically streaming. The guy I worked for was legit af (top 5 facial surgeon in the world) and would’ve told me to stop filming it something ever went wrong, not that it ever did.
The board said Grawe, who originally had her license suspended in November, neglected her patients as she livestreamed parts of their procedures, spoke into a camera and answered viewer questions — all while the surgeries were taking place.
The unnamed patient suffered severe damage to and bacterial infections in her abdomen, as well as loss of brain function from the amount of toxins in her blood, according to the notice.
Holy shit. I read the headline and thought it was bad but reading this… wow
oof. I was trying to give as much benefit of the doubt before going in… like, maybe it was a consenting patient, anonymized, and it would be really cool for educational purposes. I’d love to see a livestreamed surgery where the surgeon explains to the audience exactly what’s going on and such.
But this… damn. Straight up negligence
