    This is a very important question! Any changes in this sphere?
  •  
    The findings on State Medical Board misconduct are concerning. Effective communication within these boards is crucial for patient safety. I think legislators and healthcare advocates should push for reforms to ensure boards comprise professionals capable of teamwork. Also, it is worth exploring various technology-driven solutions that transform the patient experience and financial performance of healthcare providers.

Mishler v. State Bd. of Med. Examiners, 849 P. 2d 291 - Nev: Supreme Court 1993 - Googl... - 0 views

  • While the Board withheld documents from Dr. Mishler on the expressed basis of its policy of confidentiality, it violated that policy when it forwarded confidential material, including the transcripts of Dr. Mishler's conversations with an investigator, to Dr. Mishler's neurosurgical colleagues.
  • Finally, even though the Board had the right to obtain the records and Dr. Mishler did not, the Board attempted to shift the burden for the preservation of evidence to Dr. Mishler.
  • In short, we conclude that the Board's actions and the proceedings against Dr. Mishler constituted a disturbing abuse of its power.
  • ...5 more annotations...
  • Therefore, we reverse the disciplinary order of the Board in its entirety and dismiss all proceedings against Dr. Mishler with prejudice.
  • The Board's power was not exercised for the proper and commendable purpose of protecting 297*297 the public from incompetent and negligent physicians. Instead, the Board wielded its power to ruin the career of an outspoken physician while simultaneously protecting a possibly negligent or incompetent practitioner who had questionable billing procedures.
  • Also, while the Board used its own rules of confidentiality as an excuse to obstruct Dr. Mishler's access to evidence, it violated the same policy with respect to Dr. Mishler's confidential reports.
  • Despite the absence of this evidence—office records, X-rays, and diagnostic films— at the hearing,
  • the Board disciplined Dr. Mishler.
  •  
    The Nevada state medical board demonstrated egregious abuse of its power and placed patient safety at risk in doing so.

Is your doctor on probation? - 0 views

  • s your doctor on probation?
  • Thousands of doctors are being disciplined by state medical boards for serious wrongdoing. But finding out who those doctors are can be difficult
  • The takeaway - doctors on the state medical board engage in conduct far more unethical than many of the physicians they discipline... Harming patients is okay, if they do it. However, reporting patient harm and unsafe patient care is unethical - at least according to the Missouri medical board. 
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • Consumer Reports' investigation shows how hard it can be to find out whether your doctor has been cited for substandard medical care or other issues.
  • The North Carolina medical board staff are kind and courteous and occasionally would reply to me, but the executive director and the staff of the Missouri Board of Registration for the Healing Arts acts contemptuously towards others that ask them to not file blatant lies in court about months of unsafe breast cancer testing. 
  •  
    The takeaway is that doctors on the Missouri Board of Registration for the Healing Arts show partiality while claiming to protect the public.
