Dr. Benjamin Rodriguez quickly took down the ads for his Botox practice, which showed him being injected by someone he identified as a "nurse" but who is actually a medical assistant, after we strated asking questions. And as we pointed out on "Face to Face" this week, that is not legal -- as Medical Examiners Board boss Louis Ling said on the program and again the next day in the Review-Journal.
Check out what Ling said on the program here:
And at right, I have posted the picture of Rodriguez that he removed from his site.
There is a lot more to this story because a medical assistant at a spa -- not a doctor's office -- is being prosecuted by the AG for doing exactly what was being done to Rodriguez. Ling tried to say the difference was the standard of medicine at a doctor's office and a spa, but later acknowledged it is not legal either way.
Ling needs acting lessons...LOL!
Is strated a word? I assume Ralston meant "started asking questions" but now I wonder how it passed spell check. Excellent episode, BTW. I thought Ling was very honest with his answers. They may have been wrong, but he was pretty open in his discussions.
of course they were removed! i would remove them too with vultures like you trying to make a mountain out of a mole hill!!! are you kidding me with this story! are you targeting dr. rodriguez because you're jealous of him? because he makes people's lives better (do you even care that he does charity surgeries all over the world or that he just raised thousands of dollars and rode in a charity ride to help defeat multiple sclerosis)? this is the most unbalanced, annoying program to watch. ralston is simple minded and completely unfair with his interview. do you think your audience is stupid and we can't see when you're just trying to prove your own point, as misleading as it is, by comparing two totally different things!? ralston sounds like a little kid trying pathetically to get his ignorant and uneducated point across. get off the air and stop being such a sleeze ball! OH, and this sandy bledsoe is a pathetic actor. she is a crook and is married to/living with a felon. this completely discredits your story! try again! i will never watch another program of yours because of this piece. you have just proven that you have hidden agendas and no interest in presenting news that is worthwhile. PLUS, i am pulling my advertising with channel 8 because i am disgusted with your ethics.
