Questão jurídica principal
Whether the disciplinary proceedings had to be stayed pending the criminal investigation
Decisão extraída
No stay was required; the disciplinary authority could proceed immediately because the matters were not identical and no coercion to self-incriminate was used.
Fundamentação extraída
The doctor was free to remain silent, was not pressured, and the disciplinary case concerned professional duties and public health, not the same issue as the narcotics prosecution.
