Psychiatrist Ajit Trikha was looking like the busiest doctor in the world for a while. As it turns out, he wasn’t doing quite as much work as the invoices that he sent to Medicare made it seem.
You see, he finally came clean and plead guilty this past June to defrauding Medicare and Medicaid of approximately 1.85 million dollars. He’d sent in invoices claiming that he worked more than 24 hours a day on 76 different occasions.
One invoice claimed that he’d worked 40 hours in one day. Another said that he’d treated 83 patients in only 2 1/2 hours on another day. Another claim that he’d made stated that he’d treated patients 1,267 times in Belleville, Ill where his office was located, while he was traveling in Europe.
Unless he can stop time or teleport himself there’s no way any of these claims could have been true. If you ask me the doctor wasn’t so wise at all!
