Patient slams 'unprofessional' sign claiming doctor quit practice over female nurse practitioner

Patients of an Illinois medical clinic — billed as a “premier wellness destination” — were left confused after a typed note posted to the clinic’s door announced that a male doctor had resigned from the practice. The note, which one patient called “the most unprofessional thing I’ve ever seen,” said that the doctor quit because his “wife would not allow him to work here since we hired a ‘female’ nurse practitioner.” It is unclear why the word female is in quotes.
