Hundreds of women sued Chesapeake Regional Medical Center (CRMC) on Monday, alleging the health system "enabled" former physician Javaid Perwaiz to perform unnecessary surgeries on them. The 510 plaintiffs are each seeking $10 million.
Javaid Perwaiz is currently serving a 59-year prison sentence for Medicaid fraud after he was convicted of performing unnecessary procedures and surgeries, including hysterectomies, on women without their consent.
According to a statement from the Chesapeake Regional Healthcare, Perwaiz was never an employee at CRH and his actions were done without their knowledge.
