An unemployed anesthesiologist with a troubled history has been arrested on charges that he threatened former co-workers at a Florida hospital and broke windows at medical centers in two counties.
The anesthesiologist, Dr. Benjamin Sanchez, was fired from Anesthesia Associates of Pinellas County (FL) in September 2005 after a colleague wrote an email saying he was at risk to become violent. Sanchez sued the colleague.
