Neurosurgeons gone wild:

A neurosurgeon was wrestled to the floor by sheriff’s deputies outside the operating room after he threw a fit because he had to wait for instruments to be sterilized, authorities say.

Dr. Federico Castro-Moure, 45, was arrested Monday at Highland Hospital and will be charged with interfering with deputies, said sheriff’s Capt. William Eskridge.

Castro-Moure, the hospital’s chief of neurosurgery since 2002, allegedly became belligerent when nurses told him that instruments brought in from another medical facility had to be sterilized.

Eskridge said the deputies believed Castro-Moure was drunk, and two nurses told investigators they had smelled alcohol on the doctor’s breath.
