Cincinnati Doctor’s $17 Home Exams Exposed: Ultrasound Mayhem in Apartment Clinic

Cincinnati doctor Rudel Saunders, armed with a $17 home ultrasound machine, performed genital exams in his apartment, answering “Can a doctor work without a license?” and “What is a home medical exam?” His “training” involved more IKEA furniture than medical school. “Practice makes perfect,” he reportedly quipped while juggling latex gloves and anatomy diagrams.
In Saunders’s living room-turned-clinic, clients wondered if “DIY medical exams” and “unlicensed ultrasound safety” were trending for a reason. Authorities seized pamphlets titled “Medical Degree: Just Add Water.” One neighbor recalled, “His waiting room was my laundry basket.” Today, Cincinnati’s local search history is 90% “fake doctor legal consequences” and “apartment medical scams.”
Investigators found Saunders performed 32 unsanctioned ultrasound exams in a single week—enough latex gloves to wallpaper his entire apartment, if not the block.
