Former Doctor Lopez Found Liable for Malpractice

Dr. Berto Lopez, a former OB-GYN in Florida, was ordered to pay $100 million in a malpractice case after severing an infant's penis during a circumcision, which was performed shortly after his medical license was revoked for previous malpractice incidents. Investigations revealed Lopez has been linked to at least 14 serious injuries and six patient deaths, including a mother who bled to death post-delivery due to his negligence. His history includes multiple disciplinary actions and malpractice lawsuits, showcasing a pattern of medical failures over his 33-year career. In a separate case, Mohammad Siddiqui, a former doctor in the UK, is on trial for child cruelty related to his unsanitary mobile circumcision practices, facing 39 charges. Prosecutors allege Siddiqui continued unsafe circumcision procedures even after being suspended and later struck off by the General Medical Council. Both cases highlight serious concerns regarding the safety and regulation of circumcision practices by medical professionals.
