What happened to Dr Roxy? Plastic surgeon\u2019s TikTok live streaming controversy explained Dr Roxy\/TikTokTikTok personality and plastic surgeon Dr. Roxy lost her medical license after she broadcast some patients\u2019 procedures live on the app. Here\u2019s what happened. TikTok can be a great way for doctors to educate people on health-related topics as well as share what the day-to-day life of being a doctor is like. However, due to HIPAA and other restrictions on what doctors are and aren\u2019t allowed to say about patients, the type of content they can make is restricted. This didn\u2019t stop Dr. Katharine Roxanne Grawe however who frequently livestreamed her surgeries, arguing that it was educational for her viewers Grawe accumulated 846,000 followers and 14.6 million likes on her TikTok account, where she was known as \u201cDr Roxy.\u201d Clients would come to her after watching her TikToks as they were impressed by what they saw. Unfortunately, this didn\u2019t stop Grawe\u2019s local medical board from coming after her, which made her stop making TikToks. But what happened next? What happened to Dr Roxy? The Ohio Medical Board suspended Grawe\u2019s medical license on November 18, 2022, according to The Columbus Dispatch, two months after Grawe got a warning from the board that filming operations were \u201cunprofessional\u201d. The board said at the time that her continued practice presented \u201ca danger of immediate and serious harm to the public\u201d for not paying full attention to her patients but instead to her livestreams during surgeries. The surgeon, who often posted videos of herself dancing in her scrubs, spent July 2023 battling in court to have her license reinstated. Despite her efforts, officials at the Ohio State Medical Board ruled on July 12, 2023, to permanently revoke her medical license and to fine her $4,500. It came after the medical board investigated her for livestreaming operations on TikTok, as well as surgical complications reported by patients, the New York Times reported. During the hearing, Grawe claimed she always asked permission, but the state medical board said it was inappropriate to share the footage \u2013 and that the procedures should have had her full attention. Speaking to the board, ABC6 reported that she said: \u201cI ask you from the bottom of my heart to please consider my thoughts with an open mind. \u201cThis has humbled me more than you can know. I am willing to change my social media practices and I will never live stream a surgery again.\u201d In response, a medical board member replied: \u201cWe\u2019ve seen an extreme lack of professionalism. \u201cHer posts were done as a marketing ploy. In the video (referring to the stream of surgery for Patient One named in case), you can see her looking at the camera and not paying attention to the patient.\u201d Where is Dr Roxy now? In an Instagram comment on July 12, Grawe wrote: \u201cRight now I\u2019m just focusing on taking great care of my kids & that means staying here for them.\u201d \u201cWhy do you think they really went hard on you?\u201d one follower on Instagram asked in those comments. \u201cMany drs and surgeons have complaints \u2026 and they still can practice.\u201d Grawe responded: \u201cWitch hunt.\u201d It is unknown what Dr. Roxy will do now after losing her medical license. By having her license permanently revoked, it means that she is now not allowed to practice medicine anymore, and she won\u2019t ever be able to have it reinstated. This most likely means that she will have to find a new career. We will update this article with more updates as they come in.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
