The chief of neurosurgery at Highland Hospital was wrestled to an operating room floor by deputies and arrested after allegedly throwing a drunken fit when a nurse refused to let him operate, authorities said.
... He "threw a fit" and began yelling and cursing at staff when they told him equipment for the procedure needed to be transferred from another hospital, according to the report. When the surgical instruments arrived, a nurse refused to allow Castro-Moure to operate until they could be sterilized.
Castro-Moure threatened the nurse by punching his fist in his hand. He took a swing at deputies after they were called to intervene.
"Do you know that I am a (expletive) doctor, and I'm going to do what I want," he said, according to a witness.
