A Muslim doctor who fled to Pakistan after his Nebraska-based clinic left dozens of patients infected with hepatitis C, including several who died, now wants to return to the United States and practice medicine, and he blames his earlier problems on Islamophobia, according to a new report.
The Omaha World-Herald has reported that Tahir Ali Javed now has applied for restoration of his medical license in New York.
That license was surrendered about 10 years ago shortly after his Nebraska medical license was revoked, the report said. That occurred because his Fremont cancer clinic was determined to have infected dozens of patients with hepatitis during a time period about 2001 and 2002.
According to the World-Herald, while in Pakistan, he served as a public health official “and reportedly blamed the situation in Nebraska on anti-Muslim sentiment.”
