How Dr. Carmen Puliafito, who bragged that med students regarded him as a "god," managed to publish 60 scholarly articles in a decade while partying so hearty defies belief, but he did it. He was finally busted because of a young female friend's OD.
From the LA Times:
A week after the hotel overdose, a witness filed an anonymous complaint through a city website urging Pasadena authorities to investigate Puliafito and the police handling of the incident, according to a copy of the complaint obtained through the California Public Records Act.
Three days later, the same witness phoned the office of USC president Nikias and told two employees about Puliafito’s role in the hotel incident. The witness spoke to The Times on the condition of anonymity.
Phone records confirm that the witness made a six-minute call to Nikias’ office on March 14, 2016, 10 days after the overdose.
A week and a half later, Puliafito resigned as dean.
