May 16, 2017 - On May 12, 2017, the Michigan Department of Licensing and
Regulatory Affairs (LARA) summarily suspended Dr. Bradley Bastows
osteopathic physicians license pursuant to the Public Health Code, which
provides for the immediate suspension of a health professionals license when
the public health, safety, or welfare requires emergency action.
In conjunction with Attorney General Bill Schuettes office, LARA filed an
Administrative Complaint alleging Dr. Bastow, of Glenn, MI committed numerous
violations, including:

Performing liposuction procedures in unsanitary conditions in an unfinished

pole barn;
Improperly disposing and storing medical waste;
Improperly dispensing and recording the dispensing of controlled
substances;
Improperly comingling human and animal drugs; and
Taking a controlled substance from the facility for personal use.

Our investigation found that Dr. Bastows conduct was negligent, incompetent
and lacked good moral character, said LARA Director Shelly Edgerton. Our top
priority is the health and safety of Michiganders, and the dangerous and
deplorable conditions of Dr. Bastows facility warranted an immediate suspension
of his medical license.
