A UConn Health doctor has been arrested after an incident in which police said he intentionally coughed on and hugged nurses, police said.
UConn police charged Dr. Cory Edgar, 48, of West Hartford with breach of peace Thursday morning. Edgar is an assistant professor of orthopedic surgery at the UConn Musculoskeletal Institute.
According to a police report, police were called to the UConn Health outpatient surgery clinic for a report of a doctor “deliberately coughing on and hugging nurses, causing them a substantial amount of alarm.” There were multiple witnesses.
Stephanie Reitz, university spokeswoman, said, “The witnesses and medical workers believed he was purposely disregarding space and safety concerns involving the Coronavirus pandemic.”

Act stupidly and there are consequences.
He shouldn’t be surprised if he loses his medical license.
Will social distancing cure Joe Biden of nuzzling every female he gets near?
Why aren’t people gloving up and punching these nutballs in the face?
It amazes me that a doctor could be such a dumb@ss.
A profession with a high number of sociopaths with a god complex.
Poor doc must have just wigged out. And he’s nowhere near Ground Zero over in NYC.
This is like making a joke about having a bomb in your carry on bag at security...
Why am I not surprised.
Orthopedist. Not the smartest docs on average, but the closest to a guys’ locker room ethos.
Probably used to taking advantage of his power over nurses.
Looks like a douchebag Steve Wariner....
Imagine your boss being a frat boy FluBro.
Interesting, there are no photos of this creep!
“Why aren’t people gloving up and punching these nutballs in the face?”
He may get a visit from the husband of one of the nurses requiring him to make use of his dental insurance.
Photos of the doofus are on google images, but it won’t let me post one.
It sounds pretty stupid, but could possibly be hysterical overreaction by the nurses. I’d like to hear his side of the story.
Interesting perspective...hadn’t thought of that. Makes sense.
Are you saying screwing bones together isn’t the same as understanding the molecular chemistry of the immune system?
Plus, if he's black, he actually had points added in school just to get him admitted. To "diversify" the profession.
The point being, there are truly some classless, genuinely stupid people in the medical field.
