The medical patients of California just caught a huge break: In 30 days, Dr. Carmen Puliafito will no longer be allowed to practice medicine in the State of California. The former Dean of the u$c Keck School of Medicine just had his license stripped by the Medical Board of California. The agency’s main reason: Puliafito’s “appalling lack of judgment.”
Puliafito is the trojan who was exposed by an L.A. Times investigation, which uncovered drug use including heroin and METH, and prostitution, as staples of his personal life. Allegedly, he smoked meth just hours before seeing patients, and he gave hard drugs to hookers and to UNDERAGE users.
