Demand transparency: stop the opaque persecution of cancer surgeon Dr. Sanjeev Kumar
The Issue
Can a standard, lifesaving medical procedure be twisted into a federal crime? For Dr. Sanjeev Kumar, a pioneering robotic cancer surgeon, this nightmare is reality.
For years, Dr. Kumar has utilized hysteroscopy—a standard, globally recognized diagnostic tool used every 10 minutes to detect endometrial cancer and save women’s lives. It's a procedure that many women undergo frequently for early detection and prevention of a potentially deadly disease. Yet, against all medical logic and community trust, the Department of Justice has shockingly claimed that this standard medical procedure constitutes "sexual assault."
Despite the Medical Board of Tennessee investigating and finding no merit in these allegations, Dr. Kumar continues to face unwarranted scrutiny and career-threatening legal challenges. This not only jeopardizes his reputation and career but also sets a dangerous precedent that threatens other medical professionals who might be similarly targeted. Ultimately it deprives patients of good medical care by removing good doctors from community.
Dr. Kumar’s situation is emblematic of a larger problem. When governmental bodies make baseless accusations against healthcare providers, it not only undermines the integrity of the medical profession but also instills fear in those who are dedicated to improving patient health and saving lives. This intimidates medical professionals and can deter talented individuals from entering or continuing in the field.
What we need is transparency and accountability from the Department of Justice. We must demand that they thoroughly reassess their claims against Dr. Kumar, based on medical facts, peer-reviewed scientific evidence, and in consultation with medical experts. The public deserves to know the truth, and Dr. Kumar deserves the chance to clear his name.
By signing this petition, you can help bring this unjust persecution to light and urge the Department of Justice to stop these groundless accusations. Let’s stand united for medical integrity and support Dr. Sanjeev Kumar's right to practice without fear of baseless prosecution.
Join us in demanding transparency and fairness—sign the petition today to urge the authorities to drop this case.
