No Legal Career For Sanctioned Surgeon

The Supreme Court of Georgia denied admission to an applicant who had been, in a previous incarnation, a general surgeon in Vermont. The applicant had lost his Vermont medical license as a result of charges involving sex with a patient, unprofessional care of five patients, and evidence of unfitness in his dealings with patients, their families and nursing staff. There were news reports that he had disappeared from Vermont in the face of lawsuits and a suggestion of a lack of candor in the bar admission process.  (Mike Frisch)
