A Massachusetts doctor has been fired and lost the right to renew his medical license for allegedly trying to give a pregnant woman an epidural while drunk.
The state Board of Registration in Medicine says 39-year-old Robert Dolan was drinking from a bottle of bourbon he brought to work when he was called to perform the procedure at Caritas St. Elizabeth's Medical Center last November.
Dolan, an anesthesiologist, called another resident for help, who noticed he appeared drunk. The attending physician then called security. He was fired by the hospital a few days later.
Dolan's license to practice medicine lapsed in January and he will not be allowed to renew it unless he can stay sober for 18 months.
The board said Dolan accepted its version of events.

Shocking!!
Being a doctor he knows what he is dealing with. He almost risked a lady & babies life. He should be fined plus what is being done to him by the government.Very sad to hear this.
Umm-Umema
