The VA hospital in Wichita confirmed Monday that it has proposed that Christel Wambi-Kiesse be removed. The hospital began investigating the doctor in September, after The Kansas City Star reported the Missouri board that regulates doctors was seeking to discipline the 44-year-old urologist.
The Star reported one woman died two months after Wambi-Kiesse performed surgery on her, and two other men suffered dangerous complications.The doctor remains on the hospital’s payroll until the process to remove him is complete.
