A Sanction doesn't keep a Dr from doing surgeries or even making recommendations necessarily unless they are directly prohibited in their probation period. Typically though, docs will moved to a different state where they don't have any sanctions.

Personally after speaking with several of the docs I work with, they all said a sanction just doesn't happen overnight and should be a warning flag to a patient. It is something a Dr can fight, but most just move on.

Note: there are a lot of military Docs who have sanctions against them. Feel the love for the troops, huh...
