A Florida gastroenterologist has been disciplined after two recent colonoscopy procedures went awry on his watch, including at least one where he couldn’t hear an improperly-sedated patient’s screams because he wasn’t wearing his hearing aids.

Dr. Ishwari Prasad, 84, has been placed on probation by the Florida Board of Medicine after the botched procedures, according to a state Department of Health administrative complaint viewed by USA Today.

Both colonoscopies took place on June 5 last year at the Tampa Ambulatory Surgery Center.



During the first, Prasad is said to have “improperly delegated” medical tasks to a surgical tech who did not have a...

The boy and a second child found in the home were taken to a nearby hospital for evaluation,...

The obituary for 14-year-old Ava Wood is short. It describes her as someone who had a competitive spirit and a passion for life. It mentions her love of sports and in particular, soccer. She had recently been the recipient of a coaches' award for the junior varsity season. Wood was loved by her family and adored by friends. It's sad when anyone dies, and it's especially heartbreaking when one as young as Wood is taken in such a violent fashion. What makes her story more devastating is the fact that her life was taken by someone who was supposed to...
