Recalling Dr. Frankenstein

| | Comments (2) |


It's unfortunate someone couldn't have caught Nadya Suleman and her physician, the experimenting Dr. Frankenstein, sooner so they could have tried channeling their energies into other areas.

One cannot help but wonder where that doctor's head was, although Suleman has already indicated that hers was nowhere around her shoulders when she told Ann Curry on the "Today" show that she wanted kids to help ease the pain of a lonely childhood. I don't know the exact reasons for having kids, but this I do know: That isn't it.

Also, aside from Jerry Springer and some Oprah shows, what private citizen goes on national television and advertises that theirs was a dysfunctional family when the average celebrity already has dibs on that market?

If Nadya Suleman wants to multiply like a fly, then that's her choice, but her doctor should be stripped of his license not only for participating in a Frankenstein-esque experiment but for selecting someone who is going to get John and Jeanette Q. Public to pick up the tab and who will probably peter out well before her kids hit that vast stretch of open space otherwise known of as adolescence.

Gail is asking where was the doctor's head when he helped that woman conceiving the extra eight children. As I said in my previous blog, his and hers heads where on the money, just in the best possible way to make money...and it almost worked.

My fascination with this story only goes so far (and that's not far at all), but what I don't understand is that she has Kaiser insurance but seemingly got the fertility treatments elsewhere.

Am I right?

Whoever did this, if they knew the truth about her situation both financially and psychologically, should be liable for a whole lot of malpractice.
