A Beverly Hills fertility doctor who implanted 12 embryos into the woman who became known as “Octomom” after she had octuplets “did not exercise sound judgment” in doing so and will lose his medical license.

In addition to Dr. Michael Kamrava’s treatment of Nadya Suleman, the Medical Board of California also focused on his approach to two other patients in determining that his license should be revoked, reports the L.A. Now blog of the Los Angeles Times.

“Public protection is paramount,” the board said in its decision, which takes effect July 1.
