Here are three updates where states have punished physicians by suspending or restricting their medical licenses, as covered by Becker's since April 28:
- Former Modesto, Calif.-based physician Sawtantra Chopra, MD, pleaded guilty to three counts of illegally prescribing opioids. Mr. Chopra surrendered his medical license in 2020 as the case was pending.
- Former Washington physician Mendel Gordin, MD, surrendered his medical license after he was accused of making inappropriate comments to several patients and misdiagnosing one of them.
- Eighty-three women have filed a lawsuit against Indiana OB-GYN William David Moore, MD, and three health facilities alleging inappropriate behavior toward female patients. His license was suspended in March.
