The Surgeon Who Cut a Healthy Leg Off - A Deadly Compulsion

著者：
A retired engineer paid to have his anatomically normal left leg removed and died after a surgeon with a 1947 medical degree but no valid U.S. license operated in a Tijuana clinic; how did a procedure that a pathologist later called entirely preventable end in death? What responsibility did the surgeon owe to a patient who asked for amputation decades before medicine had a name for the condition?
In this episode, we tell the documented record of Philip Bondy’s trip to Tijuana, the life and practice of John Ronald Brown, and the legal and ethical aftermath that followed Bondy’s death - could access, desperation, and a surgeon’s history explain how this could happen?
Person: Philip Bondy
Date: May 10, 1998
Person: John Ronald Brown
Degree: Doctor of Medicine, University of Utah School of Medicine, 1947
Event: Amputation in Tijuana resulting in patient death
- Bondy was 79 years old when he crossed into Tijuana to have his left leg amputated.
- The left leg was anatomically normal and caused Bondy no physical pain the day before surgery.
- Brown was 75 years old in spring 1998 and earned his MD in 1947.
- Brown’s California medical license was revoked in 1977 for gross negligence, demonstrated incompetence, moral turpitude, involvement in a patient's death, and related charges.
- Johns Hopkins Gender Identity Clinic approved 24 patients out of the first 2,000 applicants during the same period.
