Dr. "Frankenstein"? I Just Hope Heidi Montag Isn't Visiting This "Butcher"!




You know things are only going to turn out ugly when the first three words of the story read, "His mutilated patients...." And so it is today in The New York Post, which has an account as to one Dr. Joshua Rubinstein (pictured at left), a "boob-job and tummy-tuck specialist" whose "mutilated patients" have taken to calling him "The 'Butcher' of The Bronx" (link to full story at bottom).

According to The Post, Rubinstein's been sued at least 9 times in 14 years for botched procedures that have allegedly left his patients "looking like Frankenstein." Said one former patient of Dr. Frankenstein: "He's a butcher! I don't want to see him ever again!" (What, no second chance?)

In one of the lawsuits, Dr. Frankenstein is even accused of killing a woman through his botched handiwork. While The Post reports that Dr. Frankenstein has denied those wrongful death allegations in court papers, he sure as heck ain't talkin' to the media. When a Post reporter visited his office to try to get a comment, Dr. Frankenstein reportedly scurried out the back door to get away (apparently he's able to move a little faster than the actual Frankenstein monster).

Final comment: I just hope that Dr. Frankenstein isn't one of the many plastic surgeons that Heidi Montag has utilized over the past few years. And for that matter, if this dude has so many lawsuits flying around in public, while in the hell do people keep going back to him for surgery? Was Leatherface from The Texas Chainsaw Massacre all booked up?
