Alcoholic Pathologist Endangered, Misdiagnosed Patients at VA Hospital An investigation into a prominent VA hospital in Arkansas shows just how dangerous drinking on the job can be. A pathologist at the center was let go for having a drinking problem that affected his work, but his actions went unchecked for years. Now, regulators believe he’s at least partially responsible for 15 patient deaths and more than 3,000 diagnostic errors. Administrators failed to address his actions until it was too late. Drinking on the Job Records show Robert Morris Levy worked as a pathologist at the Veterans Healthcare System of the Ozarks from 2004 to 2018 before he was fired. His colleagues were concerned that he was drinking on the job as early as 2014. In 2016, he was placed on administrative leave after testing positive for high levels of alcohol. That’s when he started buying an intoxicant online that would prevent alcohol from showing up during regular screenings.
