Dr. Lucien Cox, a Los Angeles gynecologist, surrendered his medical license after accusations of unprofessional conduct, including inappropriate questioning of a patient about her religious beliefs.
His attorney stated that if a hearing had occurred regarding the allegations, he believes Dr. Cox would not have been severely disciplined or lost his license.
The accusations indicated 'extreme departures from the standard of care,' particularly related to uncomfortable inquiries made to patients about their faith following their personal medical history.
Cox's decision to retire and surrender his license was described as a means to avoid a costly hearing, as he had already closed his practice.
