Legal Juice
Timothy Paul Gatschet of Wichita, Kansas was not exactly a shining example of what a doctor should be. From The Hays Daily News:
[The Kansas State Board of Healing Arts] had taken away his license in 1993 for inappropriate conduct.
In 1996, he was convicted of three felony counts of attempted enticement of a child.
The board reinstated Gatschet’s license in 1998, but limited his practice to geriatrics.
And finally … …
Gatschet … was sentenced Monday in Ellis County court to three years and seven months in prison. He pleaded guilty in March to criminal use of an explosive device and attempted use of an explosive device.
And what about his physician’s license, which appeared to be coated with teflon?
Gatschet gave [it] up in April rather than face disciplinary proceedings by the Kansas State Board of Healing Arts.
I was starting to wonder what a doctor has to do in Kansas to lose his license for good. Here’s the source.
