Another Swedish Immigrant we could have done without...

"I will shoot the head off you and anybody else who's saying that I have an alcohol problem"
- With these harsh words a Swedish anaesthesiologist working in Norway put two loaded guns to the head of his girlfriend. These guns he regularily had under his pillow. At another occasion he ran after the woman with a raised dagger crying "Nu jävlar" (a genuine Swedish expression invoking the Prince of Darkness)
He has been convicted for these offenses, and has even moved back to Sweden. Now the Board of Health are wondering if they should do something with his medical licence as well; as they have been receiving complaints about him since 1991 from patients and colleagues.
The picture being painted in all these complaints are of a sloppy, burned-out alcoholic with a serious personality disorder.
Sure, you may yank his Norwegian licence. I've got no problem with that. But why did the Board of Health issue such a licence to him in the first place? What questions did the Norwegian B of H put to their Swedish counterparts?
The responsibility for letting this person continue to be menace to himself and his patients lies primarily with himself (of course), then at the University who graduated a psychopath, thirdly with the authorities who issued a medical licence to him, fourthly to the Norwegian Board of Health who gave him a Norwegian licence and lastly to the various hospitals who hired him.
So perhaps the Board of Health could have started the investigation at home?
