- Dr Farid Fata gave 533 patients excessive and grueling cancer treatments
- He then billed insurance firms, scamming millions of dollars in the process
- Victims, some of whom did not actually have cancer, had health wrecked
- Sustained brittle bones and fried organs, with one losing both of his legs
- Some patients lost their homes and jobs, and were forced into bankruptcy
- On Friday, Fata broke down in court as he was imprisoned for 45 years
- The
50-year-old oncologist, from Detroit, Michigan, admitted: 'I misused my
talents and permitted this sin to enter me because of power and greed'
- Judge deemed multi-million-dollar scam 'a horrific series of criminal acts'
- Oncologist's time in federal prison could be shortened with good behavior
