Cardiologist cries foul over $135K tab at strip club
| June 12, 2014 | Cardiovascular Business | Patient Care

Granted, you don’t often see the words "cardiologist" and "strip club" in the same sentence, but a cardiologist in New Jersey and three other high-wealth people claim that they were victims of a scheme that involved being drugged and taken to a strip club. Once there, their companion would rack up charges on their credit cards; in the case of the cardiologist, $135,000. The New York Times is following the case.
