| Introduction | "I've been investigating medical fraud and quackery for 25 years. Peter Heimlich and his wife Karen uncovered the biggest case I've ever seen" - Robert S. Baratz MD PhD, National Council Against Health Fraud <br><br> In 2002, Karen and I began researching the career of my father, Henry J. Heimlich MD, famous for "the Heimlich maneuver." To our astonishment, we uncovered a 50-year history of fraud which revealed that dad (who died in 2016) was a remarkable -- and dangerous -- medical charlatan and con man. <br><br> Since Spring 2003, my outreach to journalists has resulted in <a href="http://medfraud.info/Selected-media-reports.html">hundreds of mainstream print and broadcast media reports</a> based on our research, some of which have won journalism awards. <br><br> Via my blog, since 2010 I've done original document-based reporting, mostly about fraud and other misconduct. (A New Jersey newspaper called me <a href="http://www.capemaycountyherald.com/news/article_88633e2a-de67-11e6-9f52-4370ec73a5f6.html">"an investigative blogger."</a>)<br><br> Questions? Just ask. |
