Octomom on Doc Losing His License: 'He Doesn't Deserve That'

By Rob Shuter Posted Jun 29th 2011 09:35AM

Dr. Michael Kamrava, the fertility specialist who implanted a dozen embryos inside "Octomom" Nadya Suleman, loses his license to practice medicine on July 1, and though she told TMZ the doc's penalty was for "the best of humanity," she struck a different note with me.

"How could I be happy when someone has been penalized for something like this," she told me. "It's sad and he doesn't deserve that."

Making it clear that she was "not involved at all" with the Medical Board of California's decision -- which Kamrava has appealed -- Nadya notes the case was much bigger than her.

"As far as I am concerned, they investigated more in-depth with him and other situations," she said. "They did come to me and I told them the situation, and then they took the explanation and I made sure that I blacked out the donor's name so no one will know."

But as well as protecting the biological father of her eight children, Nadya also wanted to protect her doctor making it clear to everyone that she made the choices that created her fame and that she's doing what's best for her family.

"No, it's my choices that have changed my life," Nadya confessed to me. "I have to move forward and I have to push past poisonous perspectives of other people. If I'm not, then who is going to be there for my children?"

Nadya conceived her octoplets (born January 2009) and her six older children through in vitro fertilization. The media quickly dubbed her the Octomom but her life has been a mix of ups and downs ever since.

"I have raised them with such open communication that is the key to raising healthy children," she said. "You want to teach them what to do and teach them a healthy lifestyle. They are like Play-Do and you are molding them."

Admitting that her oldest six have started calling her "Octomom," Nadya tells me that she now drops them off for school in the back so no one sees. "My kids are so embarrassed."

As I previously reported, Nadya has joined up with HDNet to find love on the new dating show 'Celebridate,' coming this Fall.

You cannot deny someone IVF based on their employment status. However, he was ethically, if not legally, bound to implant only a certain # of embryos based on their viability.

He should be made to, pay child support would be nice, never happen unless it was his sperm, but she chose to have another litter, knowing she could not support the children she already had.

This woman and this Dr. are a disgrace. She couldn't afford the first one and she keeps going until she has FOURTEEN kids! If you can't afford to take care of children you SHOULD NOT BE HAVING THEM. And the fact that all 14 children are the product of invitro is just astounding to me. The procedure is not inexpensive,yet somehow this unemployed, still living with her parents, brainless wonder manages to have it done multiple times. I think it is just totally wrong!

Be my guest. You can have her. And support her and the gang. BTW, several of those kids are disabled. Just a heads up.

That unstable leech on society should most certainly have been denied ANY IVF treatments, as she was unemployed and living with her parents, with 6 other children, being supported by hardworking taxpayers. That crazy loafer shouldn't have had one child, nevermind a Baker's Dozen plus one.

I hate to know theres a doctor out there any where, that will do what this doctor did for money.
He deserves too lose his license.

I think he should have to help raise them. Go to all parent/teacher meetings and any juvenile delinquency hearings and pay for any legal and welfare cost. She already had 6 kids--it wasn't a mistake.
Can you imagine living in a city home with 14 kids?

And I hope they at least made sure it wasn't some teenage or college donor that had no sense.
