in order to pad his pockets.Dr. Yasser Awaad allegedly forced children to endure grueling medical tests — including sleep deprivation — multiple times, though the children never needed them.Mariah Martinez was just nine years old when she said she was referred to Awaad for headaches. At the time, Awaad worked for Oakwood Healthcare, which is now owned by Beaumont Health.Martinez says Awaad wanted her to undergo an electroencephalogram or EEG, and then told her she had epilepsy. Martinez says she was confused because she'd never had a seizure."I didn't know what epilepsy was at that point," she said.Martinez said the diagnosis scared her."Being told you're abnormal, or the tests are abnormal, means I'm not like everyone else, and at that age, you just want to fit in," Martinez said.She said the anti-seizure medication not only made her drowsy – it made her headaches worse."I kind of withdrew into myself, didn't want to be around people," she said.It wasn't until Awaad suddenly left his practice four years later and Martinez saw a new doctor that she found out she never had epilepsy."I lost, I feel like a piece of my childhood. All the time, I could have been learning to do things, playing with the other kids, I could have friends, I could have joined a sport – you never know," Martinez said.Martinez was not alone."I think it's despicable and deplorable that he would do this to any innocent child, let alone several hundred," medical malpractice lawyer Brian McKeen said. McKeen and a team of attorneys are suing Awaad and the hospital."When you look at all the evidence in this case. The conclusion is inescapable. That this was done intentionally," he said.McKeen alleges Awaad ran an EEG mill: the more tests he ran on the kids, the more money he made. At a 2018 deposition, McKeen claimed Awaad made "hundreds of thousands" of dollars for running the tests; money Awaad later said he was "entitled to."McKeen says one of Awaad's pediatric neurology colleagues even blew the whistle on him to Oakwood administrators back in 2003."She told them he's doing unnecessary EEGs, he's diagnosing kids with epilepsy that don't have it, and he's giving kids unnecessary drugs, and they did not do anything about it. They swept it under the rug," McKeen said.McKeen says Awaad also falsely diagnosed Martinez's sister with epilepsy, and in a different family, he's accused of misdiagnosing four out of five siblings.Hundreds of medical licensing records show that since 2010, the state has been accusing Awaad of violating the public health code for wrongly diagnosing kids with epilepsy. The state complaints use words like "negligence" and "incompetence" to describe Awaad, yet he still held on to his medical license.In 2012, he was put on probation and forced to pay a ,000 fine."That wasn't enough. They should suspend his license. He should never be allowed the opportunity to practice medicine and violate the trust of any other patient," McKeen said.In June, a jury awarded Mariah Martinez million for her case against Awaad. The second lawsuit of the 267 pending against Awaad is currently underway in Wayne County Circuit Court."I don't know if I'll ever be 100 percent," Martinez said.Beaumont Health and its lawyers chose not to comment, citing pending litigation and patient privacy laws. A spokesman also said that they have not had a relationship with Awaad since 2017.Beaumont spokesman Mark Geary declined to provide someone to talk on camera, but released the following statement:"The litigation involving Dr. Yasser Awaad and Oakwood Healthcare dates back more than a decade to 2007. We cannot comment about the specifics of this case or others because of pending legal proceedings and patient privacy laws. After his employment with Oakwood Healthcare, Dr. Awaad was briefly employed by Beaumont to provide medical education and clinical curriculum for residents and medical students in pediatric neurology. He completed this work in 2017 and has not had any relationship with Beaumont since that time."Meanwhile, the Michigan Attorney General's Office has filed another administrative complaint against Awaad's license. The hearing was supposed to be held next week, but Awaad's lawyers asked for it to be delayed. It's now scheduled in March.This story was originally published by Heather Catallo on 4344

You see a dog enter a restaurant with a vest that says "service dog."How do you, or the restaurant, know if the dog is actually a trained service dog?It's a problem that has prompted more than a dozen states to crack down on people trying to pass off their pet as a service animal."They make me angry, they really do," said Colleen Belanger.Belanger has a service dog and she is upset people are using fake service dogs.She said it is a growing concern as more and more people are taking advantage of the system.Some dog owners buy service costumes online so they can take their untrained dogs into places they don't belong.Belanger said it's not right because her dog Madison is much more than a pet."This is a medical device to me. It's the same as having a wheelchair, cane or oxygen," Belanger said.For Madison to become a service dog, she had to be put through rigorous training and documentation.Belanger said having Madison with her is a matter of life or death.Belanger has asthma and a severe allergy, which is something Madison has been taught to detect and prevent.Michigan State University Professor David Favre said phony service dogs could be dangerous."The non-service dog animals are not really trained. They are no level near the amount of training real service dogs are. So you will have problems of noise and barking and possible biting. You just never know what these untrained dogs will do," Favre said.Favre said Michigan recently passed a law that made fake service animals illegal."It's a misdemeanor, a low level crime. Possibly 90 days in jail and a fine," Favre said.As for Belanger, she said fake service animals could potentially ruin the good reputations of so many life saving animals. She hopes striker laws are put in place."Those of us who are disabled, we need this. So we can go out and enjoy life just like other people do," Belanger said.While Michigan passed a law making it illegal to lie about a service animal, Favre said there is no state or federal law requiring a person to prove to a business their service animal is legitimate. 2082

after dozens of people signed a petition to have it removed.Frankton Police Department vehicles feature a decal with the phrase, "All Lives Matter." The phrase, which some consider racist, has gained popularity among those who oppose the Black Lives Matter movement.Mary Hobbs, a Frankton resident, created a petition to remove the "All Lives Matter" decal from all police vehicles. Hobbs said the town added the decals in 2016 during the height of the Black Lives Matter movement. "As I educated myself on the Black Lives Matter movement more and kind of spoke with other people about it, I kind of realized that that's not OK and it needs to come off," Hobbs said. "I think it's a controversial issue and I don't think it's one the police should've taken a stand on. I created the petition to kind of show people that it's not just me. That it is a problem."But not everyone in the community feels as strongly."Do you think people are offended by that here? I don't think so. I really don't," Angel Large said.Tyjuan Garrett, a local NAACP board member, says the phrase is all about the intention. Black Lives Matter's mission is to bring light to racial injustices that stem from systematic problems they feel are not being addressed. Garrett says implicit bias or sensitivity training for officers would be a more useful step than car decals."I mean I would love to sit down with the Frankton Police Department and have a conversation with them and say exactly what are your motives?" Garrett said. "Tell me how you are adding to the conversation of All Lives Matter. How are you expanding out to reflect all lives matter?"Frankton Town Marshal Dave Huffman did not agree to an on-camera interview. But he said the decals are not meant to criticize the Black Lives Matter movement and chose the slogan to, "illustrate the seriousness with which Frankton police officers take their duty to protect all of the town's citizens regardless of income, economic status, race, nationality, age or any other factor."But after hearing that nearly 100 people have signed a petition, the town plans to remove the decals from its police cars."I want the community to always be inclusive and accepting of anybody and I think that doing this will help the community grow," Hobbs said.This story was originally published by Stephanie Wade on 2334
