License Losers – What Were They Thinking?!

 
Among the various stories told by licensing bodies to explain why individuals have been reprimanded, penalized, and/or had their licenses suspended/withdrawn are those that make the reader think: "What were they thinking?!"
• "[The] Director of the [School] Psychiatric Residency Program, and others met with Respondent and informed him that he had been videotaped removing patient records from other psychiatric residents' mailboxes and shredding them. When asked why he had done this, Respondent stated that it was "a little bit of mischief" and he did not mean any harm to anyone. During that meeting, Respondent neither admitted nor denied leaving inappropriate page messages and telephone messages for [fellow resident]."
• "On exact dates unknown, but at least on or about [Date], Respondent added liquid that contained alcohol to patient juice pitchers at [Facility]. Respondent did not have a physician's order for this action, nor did she chart the provision of an alcoholic beverage to any of the patients assigned to her care."
• "[RN license] … was revoked, based on her guilty pleas to 12 felony counts of conspiracy and fraud and deceit in obtaining a license by virtue of her failure to disclose the criminal matter on her licensure renewal application." (12 counts? How many licenses does she need?)

Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.

–Albert Einstein
