An elderly Tampa gastroenterologist is on probation after he failed to hear a patient screaming during a colonoscopy.

After 34 years with a medical license, Dr Ishwari Prasad was placed on probation by the Florida Board of Medicine after a complaint accused him of medical malpractice, citing two procedures at the Ambulatory Surgery Center Tampa in June 2023 in which he failed to “effectively communicate” with his team and the patients because he wasn’t wearing his required hearing aids.
