One of the most shocking recent scandals involved a man named Narendra Vikramaditya Yadav, who faked his credentials to pose as Dr. N. John Camm, a renowned London-based cardiologist. For three months, he performed up to 15 complex heart surgeries at a hospital in Damoh, Madhya Pradesh, leading to the tragic deaths of seven patients. This wasn't a viral video scandal; it was a monumental failure of the system to verify a doctor's qualifications, leading to a preventable tragedy.
Physicians use short-form video platforms like TikTok and Instagram Reels to debunk popular health trends.

The investigation revealed that three accused individuals ran at least 22 Telegram channels where they sold indecent videos of women undergoing check-ups in a Rajkot gynaecology hospital, earning about ₹8 lakh in a single year. This case represents a fundamental betrayal of the trust between patient and physician, and highlights how technology can be misused to exploit vulnerable individuals.
