Waukesha Doctor Banned from Obstetrics After Performing Improper Treatments
Dr. Victoria Mondloch, who has a clinic in Waukesha, has been reprimanded by the board after a Wisconsin State Journal series revealed a number of improper treatments that include a baby being cut in the head during delivery.
A Waukesha doctor is banned from obstetrics work after a Wisconsin State Journal series revealed years of improper treatments performed on women and babies led to a number of medical problems.
The Wisconsin Medical Examining Board also fined Dr. Victoria Mondloch $2,000, the newspaper reported.
Records revealed Mondloch, who runs an independent clinic in Waukesha, improperly treated a number of patients from 2002 to 2010.
According to a State Journal case study on Mondloch, some of the treatments resulted in a misdiagnose leading to an unnecessary surgery; improperly managing bleeding; cutting a baby in the head during delivery; and delivering twins vaginally despite signs of distress. One twin was born with significant brain injuries, and the other was stillborn.
After the Wisconsin State Journal released its series "Doctor Discipline,” the board ordered that Mondloch stop obstetrics care and refer patients who might be pregnant or have abnormal bleeding to another obstetrician/gynecologist.
She is allowed continue her office-based practice in Waukesha.

"She is allowed continue her office-based practice in Waukesha."
WHAT?
This quack should not be allowed to care for a puppy.

I had a bad OBGYN, from a popular clinic in Waukesha, 38 years ago. The guy cut into my bladder and he took x-rays of my baby, twice while in me! It still bothers me because my son has health problems. The guy was DUMB.

So The Wisconsin State Journal is responsible for this action? Seems strange. And to those of you who are quick to judge (yes you, MR. LUNDT), the practice of medicine is not a perfect science. The health care industry is not without risks for health care professionals (needle pokes, lack of sleep, for example) and patients. Obstetrics is a risky profession when things are not going well, as are most areas of medicine. When US national healthcare is in full operation in 2014 and beyond, the quality of healthcare will take a nosedive. Just look at Britain. Many of their deliveries are provided by nurse midwives due to a severe lack of Obstetricians. Just as everyone loves their airplane pilot when the plane makes a safe and uneventful landing, they feel otherwise (or their loved ones do) when the plane doesn't land safely. Unfortunately, life is not without risks.

No one suggests life is not without risks...that is a red herring.
The fact that Dr. Victoria Mondloch was banned from practice proves that professionals believe this was more than normal risk...it was a form of negligence or worse.
Per the report this was serial negligence and the medical examining board came to the conclusion that banning was the appropriate measure. I am not quick to judge---I understand what this report means.
If the report is in error the good Dr. should clear her name. Don't count on it.

Calling someone online a "quack" is harsh. One news article can never provide a full context of a story. I do not know the doctor, but she most likely has a family who loves her, and according to past articles in another newspaper, she has a loyal patient following.

"Calling someone online a "quack" is harsh"
No Annie this is harsh:
A misdiagnose leading to an unnecessary surgery; improperly managing bleeding; cutting a baby in the head during delivery; and delivering twins vaginally despite signs of distress. One twin was born with significant brain injuries, and the other was stillborn.
The Doctor was called a name that was supported by her professional performance and supported by her being banned from practice.
No one suggests she is unworthy of love---stop being dramatic. Professionally she is not adequate...that is not my opinion it is the opinion of her peers.

I went to her once when I first moved to Waukesha. Once was enough. This doesn't surprise me at all. She didn't seem too concerned with providing evidence based care, more like she practiced her own brand of medicine.

Annie, PLEASE. Enough. Look what she did to that baby's head. Are you, her? Or a relative. Where is your care for these patients, huh?

Change that statement to "USED" to have a loyal patient following.

gg - read my posts - her loyal patient following was cited in an earlier news article in a different newspaper pertaining to this same story.
