LOS ANGELES – A doctor who during the Clinton administration headed the Presidential Advisory Council on AIDS and HIV has lost his state medical license after being arrested for investigation of possessing a controlled substance.
Dr. Russell Scott Hitt's surrender of his license became effective Tuesday.
The state medical board barred Hitt from practicing medicine for 60 days earlier this year after allegations that he had molested two patients at a Beverly Hills practice. The board also revoked his license, but the revocation was stayed and he was placed on seven years of probation that, among other things, required him to obey all laws.
On May 10, Hitt was arrested by Los Angeles police for investigation of illegal possession of a controlled substance.
He surrendered his license when board probation investigators contacted him about the new charges, the board said Thursday.
The board had accused him of sexual misconduct, gross negligence, repeated negligent acts, incompetence and dishonest and corrupt acts.
Hitt, an AIDS specialist and the first openly gay person to head a presidential advisory committee, acknowledged touching one patient's genitals in August 2000 and "crossing the boundary" with another patient a month earlier, according to board.
Hitt, 44, said his judgment was impaired and he did "things I regret" because he was battling metastatic colon cancer at the time and had undergone a series of surgeries and chemotherapy. The cancer is in remission.
Clinton said his regime would be the most ethical in history.
Of course he is a serial liar.
The most sleaze filled, oily snake like forked tongued cons imaginable.
Birds of a feather.
What could that possibly have to do with it? It's never their fault or their lack of mature, ethical judgement.
"Turn your head to the left and cough, please."
You know Colon Cancer is known for causing one to fondle others genitalia. ~sarcasm off~
I dont know... a colon can do strange things to a man
Interesting people, these liberals.
Dr. Russell Hitt: appointed by Pres Clinton -- charged with molesting patients & illegal posession of controlled substance.
Dr. Hazel O'Leary: appointed by Pres Clinton (Energy Cabinet Member) -- escorted off plane today for misbehavior.
Ambassador Joseph Wilson: advisor to Senator John Kerry -- liar, rumored to have problems with addiction in the past, & has had wife problems (3 wives?) Current wife widely known to be a "spook" by fellow state dept. staff for years before Joseph blamed it on the current White House.
A motley crew. Indeed.
A member of the left wing "pervert party"
Maybe he can get the supreme court to declare molestation a constitutional right real quick.........
Don't forget Sandy Berger.
And who hired Craig Livingstone?
Murderers, rapists, drug fiends, lying and thievery.
Where do you find a better cross-section of America, if not in prison,Walmart, or the Clinton administration ?
Indeed. My oversight.
Sandy Berger: President Clinton's national security advisor -- a wimpy SIEVE. Unbelievable. Worse than a "girlie-man" -- unable to hold it in.
The liberals would rather have Sandy Berger(wimp - afraid of other's opinions), than Dick Cheney(man of steel character, imperious to public ridicule).
Hillary and Dr. Hitt
Wow. Good job.
Two molestors discuss the AIDS crisis.
LOL! Even better post.
In one week alone, we see democrats Hazel O'Leary, Sandy Berger, Lannie Davis, and this pervert in hot water.
Democrat = Sociopath
