As well as, he was discovered to have violated state legislation when he offered being pregnant care however didn’t have hospital privileges and didn’t make different preparations for the supply.
The five-year revocation of his license was primarily based on a settlement settlement. Chacon can reapply for a medical license after June 6, 2030. Nevada legislation would not permit everlasting revocation of a medical license.
