Disgraced Surgeon Pleads Guilty in Horrific Amputation for Fetish Case

A chilling betrayal of medical trust has culminated in a guilty plea for Robert Lewis, a 63-year-old vascular surgeon, who admitted to purposely amputating the legs of two patients to fulfill a grotesque sexual fetish. The shocking details of the case have sent ripples of horror through both the medical community and the public.

Lewis, who operated in both Arizona and Maryland, pleaded guilty to charges of assault, battery, mayhem, and sexual exploitation of a patient.

These charges stem from his macabre actions, which involved either performing unnecessary amputations or exacerbating existing conditions to necessitate such procedures, all driven by his dark desires.

One of Lewis's victims, a 77-year-old woman, tragically had her leg unnecessarily removed in 2018.

Prosecutors revealed that she passed away later that same year, her life irrevocably altered by the surgeon's egregious act. Another victim, a 63-year-old woman, suffered severe complications from a procedure, leading to a second amputation. Investigators believe this outcome was also intentionally engineered by Lewis, who allegedly used a specific 'medical device' to induce gangrene, thereby forcing the amputation.

The investigation unearthed disturbing evidence suggesting Lewis's long-standing fixation.

Reports indicate that he had amassed a collection of amputated body parts, a grim testament to the depth of his fetish. His calculated manipulation of patients' health for his personal gratification represents an unparalleled breach of professional ethics and human decency.

Lewis now faces the full weight of justice, with sentencing potentially ranging from 40 years to life in prison.

This case stands as a stark reminder of the potential for profound depravity, even within professions built on the principle of healing and care, and underscores the critical importance of vigilance in safeguarding patient well-being.
