Gynecologist is accused of sexual misconduct on hundreds of patients

A gynecologist at the University of Southern California who has been accused of sexually abusing his patients, including many overseas students from China, has surrendered his medical license to the state's medical board.

According to a statement from the Medical Board of California on Monday, George Tyndall voluntarily surrendered his license last week. It came after the board accused him of sexual misconduct involving five patients.
