It states the commission of any act of sexual abuse, misconduct, or relations with a patient, client, or customer constitute unprofessional conduct and grounds for disciplinary action for any person licensed under this division. In a situation like this, the California Medical Board can revoke the license of a medical practitioner.

Having your professional license taken away can change a person whole life. This means that they will no longer be able to work in their previous field.
