Josyann Abisaab is an emergency room doctor who has been suspended for failing to immediately report Giants wide receiver Plaxico Burress's accidential self-inflicted gunshot wound. Burress was admitted to New York-Cornell Hospital after a gun in his possession went off in his pocket on the evening of November 28, 2008.1
Abisaab allegedly only treated Burress after being called at home and summoned to the hospital. Under New York State law, any gunshot wound is required to be reported to police. After treating Burress, Abisaab did not call the police as was required. Authorities are also investigating whether any other individuals conspired to keep Burress's gunshot injury from the police.1
