USA Today: A spinal surgeon at Boston Medical Center fell asleep in his car when he was scheduled to be in the operating room.
He is now facing a $5,000 fine and will be required to complete professional development courses after being reprimanded by the Massachusetts Board of Registration in Medicine.
