California Pays Doctor With No Patients Big Bucks for Mail Room Duty

A California surgeon at a state prison who has not seen a patient in six years, because the state is concerned about his medical skills, rakes in a salary that is four times that of the state’s governor.  (Once again, I am not that creative to make stuff up like this.)  Dr. Jeffery Rohlfing is on mail room duty and making $770,000 payout.  No, that is not a misprint.  By the way, according to the Los Angeles Times, the newspaper reports that dozens of other doctors have been assigned similar tasks at prisons when the state is concerned about their skills.  What is the moral of this story?  It is California. Enough said!
