Unfortunately we got one of these screw loose veterinarians in my town. This lady broke into another veterinary clinic to steal controlled drugs after she lost her DEA license. She beat herself up and claimed her husband did it, even stuck a needle into her chest to give herself a pneumothorax. The woman has been in and out of drug rehabilitation centers more times than one can count and the state licensing board still gives her a license. Why? Because they are afraid of a sex discrimination suit. Recently she cut a bladder open on a cat during a routine spay and did a poor job of suturing her error it resulted in the cat's demise. She has lost her DEA license again and has the drugs to anesthetize animals(duh!) yet the state board still lets her practice. I have little faith in the state boards when it comes to regulating minorities that are incompetant or are known to have serious drug dependency problems.

Yikes! When you say "sex discrimination" and "minorities", are you saying she's female and a racial minority? Seems like it would be hard to make out a sex discrimination case re a female vet, since the profession is skewing further and further towards being predominantly female (about 75% of vet students are now female IIRC). And does this woman have any actual convictions, or do the courts keep letting her off?
