A Florida anesthesiologist has forfeited his nursing license following a firestorm over controversial social media posts in which he said he would refuse to perform anesthesia for MAGA fans. State Attorney General James Uthmeier declared Thursday that "effective today, Erik Martindale is no longer a registered nurse in Florida." Controversy erupted after Martindale posted a since-deleted message stating, "I will not perform anesthesia for any surgeries or procedures for MAGA. State officials alleged Martindale also violated the nursing compact agreement by relocating to Indiana without notifying the state's Nursing Board. According to the Florida Department of Health's portal, Martindale voluntarily relinquished his license.
