Sex! Lies! Medicine! Doctor Found Doing Coke With Assistant

It's a story straight out of a great B-movie: a 61-year-old Orange County doctor was found in a Mercedes doing "large amounts of cocaine" and having sex with a 29-year-old physician's assistant, according to KTLA. Security guards saw Alan O. Marcus and Amanda J. Aguirre sitting in the car in a parking structure near Saddleback Memorial Medical Center at around 2:00 p.m. on Tuesday. The duo was still there six hours later, and when sheriffs were called, they discovered Marcus and Aguirre getting to know one another in the biblical sense, aided by heaps of coke.
Marcus is an endocrinologist at South Orange County Endocrinology in Laguna Hills. It's unclear where Aguirre works, although MSNBC notes that it is in the same offices as Marcus.
