- The work is titled Our Father.

Ethics is fundamental in all areas of health. From the university, emphasis is placed on this trait that all doctors must have. It is a characteristic that is just as important as the knowledge to care for patients. Although most comply with this element, there are some exceptions such as the one that today is considered the worst doctor ever.
Why did you get that nickname?
We refer to Dr Donald Cline, who became known throughout the world for his painful way of acting for decades. Although he is originally from Canada, most of his professional career was spent in the United States.
The fertility specialist ran his own clinic and everything seemed normal until a serious event was detected in 2018. It all started when one of her patients filed a complaint because she identified that the doctor had used her own sperm to inseminate her.
Although this is already serious, the situation increased when a few months later it was found that there was not only one case but several. Since then, an investigation began that identified that there were more than 50 patients who had received the doctor’s semen. Preliminary investigations determined that it was 30 years ago when these irregularities began.
Based on the information collected, the specialist always told his patients that the sperm used came from laboratories. It was thanks to DNA tests that Dr. Cline was confirmed to be the biological father of the reported cases.
Based on what was reported, the case gained international notoriety. As an obvious consequence, the specialist lost his license to practice as a doctor. He also started criminal proceedings due to the seriousness of the crime.
Now the story of the worst doctor in history has been portrayed in a documentary that premiered today on Netflix. Its title is Our Father (Our Father) and shows in detail all the facts.
A terrifying story that portrays reality
According to those who have seen it, the final result is closer to a horror movie, although with the difference that everything here is real. It contains interviews with several of the affected women. Each recounts how they went from being patients to victims of the doctor.
It also has testimonies from some of the 50 people who are now “brothers” because they were procreated with the doctor’s semen.
For now, we share the trailer for this documentary about the worst doctor in history. It is also a clear example of what a health professional should never do because it affects the integrity of the entire union. And remember that if you want to see it in full you can find it on Netflix.
