A plastic surgeon in St. Petersburg, FL, just got arrested on his way to do a surgery, carrying crystal meth in his car. Nothing ever came of either of the first two times he was arrested for the same thing. Charges dropped. No jail time. State medical board has ignored all evidence provided to them. He has now announced he is retiring December 1, 2023, so I guess that’s something to hold on to.
This is the kind of surgeon who would make somebody look like Nikki – one who operates while high on meth.
This goes on all over the country. The states’ medical boards and on a national level are far too strong. They will protect their own at all costs. I’m an RN for three decades and what I have seen (just in EDs and have heard about with surgeons from colleagues.) Appalling.
