30 years in the trenches of emergency medicine has afforded me a front-row seat at the great Medical Miscreant road show. From my early years in medical school at UCSD La Jolla, where one of our respected guest lecturers was found guilty of murdering his wife and 2 daughters - until the Michael Jackson doctor shenanigans - I've kept pretty busy tracking more than 11,000 instances of flat-out strange physician misbehavior. So I thought other folks might find the phenomenon as curious as I do.
