The Doctor Who Sues Doctors: Botched Surgeries, Med Spas, and the Ozempic Lawsuits (ft. Guy Regev, MD, Esq.)

What happens when your plastic surgery goes horribly wrong and no lawyer will take your case? This week Jasmine sits down with Guy S. Regev, MD, Esq., a rare double threat who went to medical school, then law school, then got an MBA because apparently sleep is optional. Now a partner at Zucker & Regev in Brooklyn, he represents victims of medical malpractice, and he's pulling back the curtain on how these cases actually work. Guy explains why his firm usually turns down the exact "botched" cases made famous by Drs. Nassif and Dubrow, and why an attractive plaintiff with a fixed nose is a losing hand in front of a jury. Then things get darker: the anesthesia failures behind Joan Rivers' death, the ketamine pipeline that killed Matthew Perry, and the opioid epidemic Guy compares to COVID in body count. Plus: the med spa boom and who's actually allowed to put a needle in your face, the 3,900+ Ozempic lawsuits piling up over gastroparesis and vision loss, and the Johnson & Johnson baby powder scandal, where internal emails allegedly showed the company knew about asbestos-linked ovarian cancer risks for years. Jasmine closes with rapid fire scenarios: Do those IV drip liability waivers actually hold up? Can you sue a TikTok doctor whose advice goes wrong? And what if your surgeon lied about his experience but you turned out fine? In this episode: What actually makes a good malpractice case (hint: a bad outcome alone isn't enough) Why juries don't sympathize with cosmetic surgery plaintiffs Red flags to check before letting anyone near you with a needle or scalpel The legal breakdown of Joan Rivers, Matthew Perry, opioids, Ozempic, and talc powder Whether "defensive medicine" is real or, in Guy's words, overblown Find Guy Regev on TikTok at @thedoctor.lawyer or reach his firm at (347) 524-5777.
