Summary
In another instance, a patient explicitly told Perwaiz she didn’t want a hysterectomy and would prefer to have her ovaries removed, instead, since she allegedly was advised that the “onset of cancer was imminent.” Perwaiz performed a total hysterectomy, anyway, allegedly perforating her bladder in the process, leaving her hospitalized for days with an infection. Investigators were told that Perwaiz allegedly spooked women into more invasive procedures by mentioning cancer, although several of his patients didn’t know what surgeries they were even subjected to when they came back to post-operative appointments.
