Doctor’s License Denied After Dark Web Plot | Spokane News

A former Spokane pediatrician serving federal prison for hiring someone on the dark web to harm his estranged wife and a colleague is now locked out of medicine for good — appellate judges just denied his desperate bid to reinstate his license, calling his actions a glaring display of poor judgment that extends beyond patient care. Once known for treating newborns in critical condition, Ilg now claims his crimes were fueled by withdrawal and desperation — even suggesting he and a jailhouse informant marry to avoid testimony, or sell his story as a raunchy movie. The court rejected his plea, emphasizing that his attempt to harm a colleague directly ties to his professional life and confirms he lacks the self-control to practice medicine. His license remains suspended — and he’s set to walk free in February, but not as a doctor. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
