Three years ago, Brooklyn cardiologist Abdul Q. Malik was arrested, but later cleared, of taking part in a scam that recruited homeless people, giving them unnecessary tests and defrauding Medicare and Medicaid. Now, he’s suing the city and the Brooklyn District Attorney’s Office for $75 million, according to the New York Post. Although he wasn’t convicted, Malik was fired from New York Methodist Hospital, and most insurance companies ended their business relationship with him. “It took me a lifetime to establish a practice … it vanishes right in front of your eyes,” Malik told the Post.
