The story of Dr. Makis is not merely one of professional misconduct allegations—it is a tale that reveals the complex dynamics between healthcare institutions, regulatory bodies, and physicians who dare to challenge the status quo. At its heart lies a single incident on April 21, 2017, that lasted mere minutes but has reverberated through the halls of justice for years.
