Not the first time this has happened. In 1956 they gave the Nobel in Medicine to Werner Forssman for discovery of angioplasty. The problem is Forssman did the first angioplasty on himself, and he got fired from the hospital for doing so. The Nobel committee had to track him down because his career in medicine had ended after being fired.
