Mengele Optometry

The Associated Press is reporting that an Indiana eye surgeon and his wife were found dead in his office this morning in an apparent suicide. The two were scheduled to turn themselves into authorities this morning after being indicted for...well...I'll let MSN tell you

Last week, a federal grand jury indicted Philip Gabriele, an ophthalmologist and eye surgeon with offices in Elkhart, South Bend and Mishawaka, and his wife on charges of health care fraud, wire fraud and criminal conspiracy. The indictment alleged Philip Gabriele falsely diagnosed cataracts and other disorders and performed unnecessary surgeries[Ed. Note: Jesus Christ, Dude]. He was accused of fraudulently removing healthy eye lenses and replacing them with artificial lenses. Some of the surgeries were poorly done and caused poorer vision, the indictment charged, and Gabriele performed unnecessary surgery on patients, including children, who had strabismus, or crossed eyes[Source: msnbc.msn.com].


If there's anything that could possibly send you to hell faster than performing unnecessary surgery on cross-eyed children, I don't want to know about it.
