Sexting and Surgery: Not the Right Prescription

Doctor Sexting
According to a News Release from the Washington State Department of Health, Seattle doctor Arthur Zilberstein was suspended by the state Medical Quality Assurance Commission for alleged acts of disregarding patient safety. More specifically, from between at least April and August 2013, the Commission charges he: 
Frequently exchanged sexually explicit texts during surgeries when he was the responsible anesthesiologist; improperly accessed medical-record imaging for sexual gratification; and had sexual encounters at his workplace.
In addition, there were other allegations made against Zilberstein. The doctor has 20 days to respond to the charges and request a hearing.
