Dr. Katherine Groh, who live-streamed the plastic surgery process under the name of Dr. Roxy on TikTok, has been disqualified as a doctor
On the 12th, the Ohio State Medical Commission decided to revoke Gro’s medical license and impose a $4,500 fine
Catherine Gro became popular by answering viewers’ questions while broadcasting the plastic surgery process live with a famous TikToker with 820,000 followers
The medical commission warned twice in 2018 and 2021 that such broadcasts pose a risk of patient privacy violations and medical ethics violations, but Catherine ignored them and continued to broadcast live plastic surgery until October last year
Eventually, Catherine was suspended from a doctor’s license last November and the license was revoked, leaving her completely out of Ohio as a doctor
The decision appears to reflect a situation in which three of the patients who underwent surgery on Catherine are undergoing treatment due to severe complications
One woman went to the hospital because she had surgery to enlarge her chest and felt nausea, bleeding, and discomfort in her chest, and tests showed that the prosthesis caused an infection and had to remove the prosthesis
Another woman suffered from an abdominal bacterial infection and brain failure caused by toxins in her blood after undergoing liposuction surgery by Catherine
The liposuction surgery was even being broadcast live on TikTok, where Catherine continued to look at the camera instead of the patient’s stomach during the operation, responding to viewers’ comments
Catherine appealed for leniency, saying she would no longer film social media videos, but medical committee members
Catherine valued her social media more than the lives of patients undergoing surgery
Disclaimer of her doctor’s license, leaving the same comment that she treated potentially life-threatening surgeries like a party
Catherine’s TikTok and Instagram are now private
