The world lost some incredible physicians in 2022, including a humanitarian who dedicated his life to global health, specialists who advanced their fields and were beloved by patients, and a family physician who gave his life to save fellow churchgoers. Among those who represented the best in medicine were doctors who rushed to aid Ukrainians, dispelled COVID myths, and created ways to noninvasively test for fetal anomalies.
Colleagues were not surprised to hear that John Cheng, MD, a family and sports medicine physician and martial arts enthusiast, confronted a gunman who opened fire on May 15 inside Geneva Presbyterian Church in Laguna Woods, California. Cheng, 52, was struck multiple times and died at the scene. His action allowed others to disable the gunman and prevented further fatalities. Five others were hurt.
The Osteopathic Medical Board of California in March revoked the license of Santa Rosa psychiatrist Cuyler Burns Goodwin, DO, after it alleged that he sexually assaulted two patients during ketamine treatments — with no other staff present. The board was seeking $65,000 to cover the costs of its investigation, but Goodwin is not currently facing any criminal charges. He has denied the allegations.
A federal judge ordered Andrew Berkowitz, MD, 62, of Huntington Valley, Pennsylvania, to serve 20 years in prison and 5 years of supervised release, and to pay a $40,000 fine and almost $4 million in restitution — the amount he allegedly reaped from his fraudulent billing for medically unnecessary physical therapy, acupuncture, and chiropractic adjustments and prescriptions.
