Doctor resigns at wife's request

A doctor in Illinois resigned from his post after his wife ordered him to quit.

The news was announced to patients at a medical centre in Illinois via a message posted in the reception area.

The message read: "Dr. Lupardus resigned from our office on Friday 1/18/19.
