Ärztepfusch

Im Verlauf ihrer Untersuchung stießen die Ermittler auf immer weitere Fälle von Ärztepfusch - dennoch konnte er ungestört weiterarbeiten. Mittlerweile sitzt der Mediziner mit dem zweifelhaften Ruf in Untersuchungshaft. Gegen ihn wird unter anderem nun wegen fahrlässiger Tötung ermittelt. Die Behörde für Wissenschaft und Gesundheit hat ihm inzwischen die Berufsausübung untersagt.

physician who botched 'the' job

Just some thoughts to work with:

basically this refers to the fact that a doctor bungles or botches his work, sometimes leading to the death of a person, such physicians are also called quacks.
