License Revoked #2
Florida Times Union Florida State Prison’s former psychiatrist loses his license Supporters defend his work at Raiford, but a state board cites improprieties in New York. By Jeremy Cox Dec. 5, 2009 ORLANDO – A Florida State Prison psychiatrist who resigned this week amid revelations of a sexual relationship with a former patient can no longer practice medicine in Florida, a state panel ruled Friday.
