Fox News
A Democratic state lawmaker from Maryland was reportedly fined $15,000 by the state physician’s board and officially reprimanded for logging into remote legislative meetings from the operating room, according to reports.
The 62-year-old Harvard- and Columbia-educated lawmaker defended herself by claiming she received consent from the patients before joining the Zoom meetings.
One patient said she didn’t remember being asked for her consent and said it was concerning to her that her surgeon’s attention was divided, FOX 45 Baltimore reported.
The position of state delegate is technically a part-time job and legislators earn around $50,000 a year, according to the Sun.
