The Beverly Hills fertility doctor who helped "Octomom" Nadya Suleman become the mother of 14 children through repeated in vitro treatments is being barred from practicing medicine.
The Medical Board of California said the decision to revoke Dr. Michael Kamrava's license was necessary to protect the public. The revocation takes effect July 1. The 45-page decision was made public Wednesday.
Kamrava has acknowledged implanting 12 embryos into Suleman, then 33, prior to the pregnancy that produced her octuplets. It was six times the norm for a woman her age.
That was a mistake, according to the board, which rejected an earlier recommendation to give Kamrava five years of probation to dole out the harsher punishment.
