An overdose, a young companion, drug-fueled parties: The secret life of a USC med school dean - LA Times

A story so far out that it seems impossible, but well worth reading:

....
During his tenure as dean, Puliafito kept company with a circle of criminals and drug users who said he used methamphetamine and other drugs with them,

.....

In one video, a tuxedo-clad Puliafito displays an orange pill on his tongue and says into the camera, “Thought I’d take an ecstasy before the ball.” Then he swallows the pill.

In another, Puliafito uses a butane torch to heat a large glass pipe outfitted for methamphetamine use. He inhales and then unleashes a thick plume of white smoke. Seated next to him on a sofa, a young woman smokes heroin from a piece of heated foil.

.....

Three weeks earlier, a 21-year-old woman had overdosed in his presence in a Pasadena hotel room. The woman was rushed to a hospital, where she recovered. Police found methamphetamine in the hotel room, according to a police report, but made no arrests.bless

....

She said it seemed odd that someone with Puliafito’s responsibilities could devote so much time to her. She said he would spend the night with her in apartments or hotel rooms he paid for, leave early in the morning to go to his home and then return to her with breakfast.

“He was always with me,” she said. “It was as if he had nothing else to do.”


.....

Well worth reading the whole thing.

Jeez, where do you find these articles? I'm just curious.

I read a variety of news aggregators from all over the spectrum. This story showed up on a number of them.

I thought the combination of medical and academia made it especially interesting. I have met more than a few extremely arrogant doctors and academic professionals. This guy is one of the most amazing...... and it is a fun read. Hard to believe the guy is still employed and still treats patients.

Honestly, I couldn't care less about "improper behavior", I care about the invention of Optical Coherence Tomography.
