Javaid Perwaiz, an ob/gyn who practiced in Hampton Roads, Virginia, was sentenced to 59 years in prison after a jury convicted him of charges related to his performance of hysterectomies, sterilizations, and other medically unnecessary surgeries and procedures on patients without their informed consent – in many cases by falsely telling them they had cancer or needed the procedure to avoid cancer.  In addition, Perwaiz induced labor in patients early so that he could bill for the deliveries, sometimes falsifying records to support the induction.  USAO ED VA
