4. Drugging Pregnant Women to Induce Labor and Make More Money
Obstetrician Paul Shuen had developed a fuss that reaped huge financial rewards, and all he had to do was force women to give birth on the weekends even though it wasn't time yet.
He gives a drug called misoprostol to his patients without their knowledge or consent. It's used to induce labor, and she does it to try to ensure weekend births whenever possible.
One day in 2016, five different women showed up with a speedy delivery. He was caught when nurses started to find evidence of drugs inside the patient. But the process was slow, and Shuen had been doing this for years before his license was finally revoked.
5. Being Drunk and Committing Massive Fraud
Marco Antonio Chavez was a psychiatrist in San Diego when he lost his license to practice while drunk. The man wasn't drunk either; he was accused of drinking two 8-ounce glasses, or a liter of vodka mixed with cloves. That's a little more than the standard 10 shots.
In 2018, he claimed the drink he started at six in the morning was meant to make him stop drinking because it tasted so bad. In 2020, Chavez made headlines again for defrauding Tricare, a company that handles medical benefits for members of the military service. He was ordered to pay back more than $783,000.
