The Daily Pilot reports Schwarzenegger rejected the bid on Dec. 15.
In 1983 and 1984, Protopappas gave the wrong doses of a general anesthetic to 23-year-old Kim Andreassen; 31-year-old Cathryn Jones; and 13-year-old Patricia Craven in his /*Costa Mesa*/ office.
Protopappas wasn't licensed to administer the anesthetic.
