This is an old article. His medical license has been SUMMARILY SUSPENDED until 4/30/25. I guess at that point he can return to murdering patients.

I saw an article from 2020 saying it was suspended. Then the one I posted from sept 2023 saying he is allowed to practice again. Has there been further action since then?

Edit:

“Hours after being sentenced, the Colorado Medical Board suspended Kim's license”

"One of the defense attorneys, John Richilano, said in court that Kim thought that Nguyen would awaken.

“He got it wrong,” Richilano said. “He thought she was going to wake up. His experience was: I’ve seen so many worse cases – why wouldn’t she wake up?”


Geoffrey Kim is a piece of ****. A plastic surgeon has seen so many "worse cases"? **** him.

He has also enlisted an army of spam bots and PR campaign to give himself excellent reviews on Google. This guy is a sociopath

18 year old coding and needing resuscitation? And you’re proceeding? Why?!?!?
