Is she still going to make videos on TikTok,?
Considering her newfound loss of income I imagine so. She’s going to have to pay other surgeons to work at her practice.
Social media is having a negative affect on society as a whole, it’s disrupting social norms and promoting destructive behaviors. Professionals specifically should be very careful in the way they use SM platforms.
Social media is a cancer. 😡
😮how awful but they think they have power
Social media is having people in so much trouble
Why did she think was going to happen?!
Tijuana is waiting 4 yaaa doctora 😂
*No HIPAA rules in plastic surgery?*
They revoked his license with good cause.
Maybe if she cared more about her plastic surgeon job and her patients instead of being a TikTok celebrity, she wouldn’t have to be in this mess at all!
Wow, ok. Smh.
Imagine spending 16+ years of your life and hundreds of thousands in debt on education after high school and not even being able to practice medicine 😅😅 That SUCKS! Guess she can always become a med school professor, but it’s just not the same.
Happenes all the time, doctors fail or drop of of med school in the last year, or fail residency.
They did her a favor . Now she has ample time to be a full time tiktoker 😂😂😂😂
@Lance Russell It doesn’t happen that often bro lol. 96% make it all the way through
She can get licensed in another state
Now she can be a full time Tik Toker !!!
Well done end with anyone with power over ppl getting away with crimes
I HAVWE NOT SEEN A MD SINCE 5 YEARS AND STOPPED ALL VAXS 215 YEARS AGO ND NOW FREE OF BIG PHARMA
Some medical doctors think they are above the law!
Can she practice medicine at different state?
Ohio ripped up her license, but could she go to a different state and get a license?
dr. roxy: “sure my patients have been horribly and permanently disfigured by my malpractice but…MY life will never be the same😥”
Now she can make silly Only Fans videos 😂😂
imagine going through all that schooling just to have this happen.
In fairness, the three patients who suffered complications have absolutely nothing to do with recording unrelated surgeries on TikTok, nor negligence. It’s interesting those were used as evidence. That particular patient wanted revenge, for suffering an unfortunate, but not negligent, complication of surgery, and should not have been allowed to testify in this case.
Hope the likes and upvotes were worth losing her profession.
More proof that a female can and will lead you straight to the grave. An educated one at that.
Evil! She needs to pay them back money!
RIP iron sheik
She’s probably locked herself in her room and drinking away and downing sleeping pills
People, be humble. It’s only important what loved ones think of you. Begging for stranger attention is so weird. Narcissism isn’t attractive.
Is she allowed to operate in different states?
It’s vile that she cared more about tiktok popularity than her patients. I honestly can’t wrap my head around anyone doing what she did.
what did she do? I completely missed this case.
Narcissism
Her arrogance says it all….
Revoked her license? That’s it?
Unprofessional and poor judgement. Just like any physicians that chanted safe and effective without any critical thinking. The whole profession is full of zombies. Will lake a lot for physicians to regain their reputations. This is just one glaring example of stupidity.
Yeah, if my doctor was dancing around in her place of work to Katy Perry making tic tok videos I’d go somewhere else. I wonder if Katharine Grawe danced her way out of the courtroom too.
Only in Ohio lol!
Dr. Rockso remains in charge.
Did she really say “I did it to make people smile”? NO your a classic attention (w h Ore) and I’m pretty sure she has a few DM’s with some of her fans because that always comes next
We thank the Ohio medical board for taking out the garbage.
You are a Doctor, it comes with Rules & Responsibilities , if making people laugh is more important you should’ve gone to Clown school instead
I’ve never trusted “experts” that become famous on social media.
I was hired by a medical college during COVID to install live streaming setup in the OT for their surgical oncology deptt. I was given crystal clear instructions that none of the equipment like camera, microphone etc should interfere in the surgeons’ operating on the patient. I used one GoPro and a Logitech PTZ Pro 2 (for closeup shots of the procedure) with two shotgun microphones and a Blackmagic ATEM Mini. Using mobile phone for streaming/recording videos even with patient’s consent is really intrusive. Doing it for educational purpose is one thing but putting your license on the line for Tik Tok is just plain n simple stupid.
I was waiting for Roxi to jump up and dance her way to the podium while singing a song of retribution
So dumb.
Wasnt she warned about not recording surgeries? And she ignored them. Very selfish… she suffered the consequences for not putting her patients health first.
Yes. And violation of the boards order is what did her in.
Did she really say that she was posting the videos to make people smile?! 😂Lady, no one is smiling watching liposuctions! Go post dog videos or something if that was your intention.
You wanted fame and money, come on! Pathetic.
Average Ohio doctor:
It’s Not funny, this is serious
Narciccist drs so busy with getting attention get what they deserved.
NBC News
Perhaps next year she could re-earn it
She was right when she said this will change her life forever it did change her life forever she lost her medical license forever she can no longer practice medicine and preform surgeries anymore let’s see what she does for Tik Tok views now because it won’t be messing up surgeries anymore
she could add OF on her account
I’m more shocked that Ohio has ANY medical standards.
A sub at my hs got fired for filming a TikTok of himself drinking coffee at his desk in the morning
Death Penalty
Noob doctor
Well I’m sure it’ll be fine that she lost her job as she can then start an Only Fans account as she clearly likes promoting herself but definitely doesn’t have the brains to of ever been a good surgeon, but by the looks of her she has the credentials needed to go in that direction for work, what a bimbo!
So embarrassing.
Thank God they got rid of her
One bad guy down more to come
DOWN WITH NARCISSISM!
How many years of school. Great money a year. Just to throw it away for tik tok surgery videos.. oh man.
What happens when mommy and daddy pay your way through school.
Why is she not being jailed!
THANK GOD they shut her foolishness down. she could’ve killed somebody. but she did injure several while talking to the camera, not being 100pct focused. now she can tok tok herself trying to get ‘unemployment’ in her state 😂👏
I wonder if she’s the one that did Meg Ryan
Doctor and Onlyfans are very different careers
She is happy that only license is stripped, and she does not have to go to jail!
“I just wanted to bring some smiles into this world.” That’s NOT the role of a medical professional. You’re describing a stand up comedian.
exactly. And wouldn’t people be smiling when they’re happy with their surgeries? She didn’t even understand she already had the power to produce smiles, by just doing her dang job.
Social media simply surfaced her broader problems. According to the story, she was screwing up IRL also. Probably would have flown under the radar if not for her realizing the money making opportunity of TikTok.
How is live streaming surgeries different from medical reality shows like Botched and Pimple Popper?
She deserved it
Bwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha she from ohio? That’s strange phenomena hahahahahahahahahahahaha
She could make money on TikTok teaching others how not to use it 🤡
*DESERVE!*
She needs a therapist. I don’t want anyone who is going to put me to sleep to film my surgery for TikTok. Sad world that people need attention and approval from the internet
Dr. Roxy will relocate to another state and fire up her camera again. The system should prevent her from ever working as a surgeon forever.
Hope they start doing this to all those internet tik tok “therapists” as well.
how old are you? you need a second chance?
She’s so toxic
Just become a full-time TikTok star if this is where your heart truly lies. You don’t become a plastic surgeon to be “silly”.
It sounds like she did everything by the normal, minus a live-stream.
Getting her license revoked is really unnecessarily harsh. Suspension would’ve been more appropriate.
She used her phone? Wild? That room / everything in it needs to be sterilized though. Plus hands free..
There are cameras she could’ve used instead— but decided to put lives somewhat at risk.
Idk if that’s still grounds for revocation though. It might depend on the state.
Cosmetic surgeon, drug rehab doctor, chiropractor, methadone doctors are right at the top of medical professionals to not trust. Big money in these fields and 99% of them are in that field for exactly that reason.
Social media is the death of common sense!
Shocker, it’s a white woman, using TikTok.
How did someone so irresponsible get a medical license in the 1st place. In other news there are politicians with professional license who supported the Jan 6 insurrection and are able to keep theirs, so whatever…
Her lack of judgment/discretion shows she was never fit to be a physician. Period.
I’m not say what she wasn’t wrong but I see so much doctors and practitioners literally creating pill mills and making this opioid pandemic worse where the crackdown on them
When you just hand out degrees & certifications for inclusivity and not because they have shown the maturity, skill, or temperament to do their job.
Not to mention the dance moves she performs are the most cringiest dance moves humanity ever seen
People like her would actually bring Jurassic Park to life
I thought you learn that as well about patients privacy when you’re studying 📚 . 😅😅
I’m Dr. Roxy the rock-n-roll clown!!! I don’t have a license baaaby!
America has lost its mind, how has this clout madness taken over America.
Good riddance
I hope more patients end up suing this Roxy Doctor. She didn’t give a 2cents about any of her patients.
She’s literally Dr Kylie from Mad TV.
TikTok must go away!
She wants to be a TikTok star, now she focus 💯 % of her time in TikTok 😂😂😂
Education sites Not equal Intelligence….. she lost everything for “Likes”!
