Orthopedic Surgeon Loses License Over Harassment | Lincoln News

Former orthopedic surgeon Steven Shannon of Lincoln faces major fallout after his medical license is suspended for two years and he’s slapped with a $20,000 civil penalty—Nebraska’s max—for multiple sexual harassment allegations at Bryan Health. Coworkers reported a toxic work environment, leading to his termination, while prosecutors say he also forged an employment verification letter. Though he denies creating a hostile workplace and claims any personal relationship didn’t result in preferential treatment, he admitted to seeking treatment for sex addiction. No criminal charges are pending, but his medical career is on hold until he clears all hurdles with the state licensing board.
