What's it like to make three-quarters of a million dollars just to shuffle papers? A California doctor knows, but he's not talking about it.

Dr. Jeffery Rohlfing, a prison surgeon, was the Golden State's highest paid employee last year, despite a record of incompetence and a history of mental illness. Further, as the Los Angeles Timesreports, Rohlfing hasn't been allowed to treat inmates because medical supervisors don't trust his medical skills.
