Doctors can be barred from practicing medicine. CEOs can be be barred from running a company.

You need a license to practice medicine so that's not a good answer to the original post

True. I overlooked the word "non" in " I've never heard of a non licensed profession being barred from "practicing"".

But there have been cases of people not allowed to use computers and whatever. I think the judges have pretty broad discretion in some cases.

CEO and Directors can be and you don't have to be licenced to be one.

Like E. Holmes for the next ten years.

Barred only from being a CEO of public companies :|
