Dr. Katherine Roxanne Grawe, also known as "Dr. Roxy," had her state medical license permanently revoked by the Ohio Medical Board after it was determined that she harmed patients while livestreaming their surgeries on TikTok. Grawe neglected her patients as she livestreamed their procedures, spoke into a camera, and answered viewer questions.
