  • he Board
  • the Board obstructed Dr. Mishler's access to the records.
  • WMC did not renew Dr. Mishler's hospital privileges.
  • As a result, Dr. Mishler could not obtain work elsewhere
  • Board denied him access to the evidence (X-rays and radiographs)
  • none of the experts had an opportunity to review the X-rays
  • When WMC initiated the hostile chart review against Dr. Mishler
  • First, the Board's timing is suspect because it initiated proceedings against Dr. Mishler five years after he treated the patients in question, when the Board knew that WMC had a five-year retention policy
  • According to the uncontroverted evidence, Dr. Mishler's colleagues, in retaliation against him for his candor
  • Board knew that Dr. Mishler had declared bankruptcy and could not afford counse
  • the Board's failure to retain the records relevant to the license revocation proceedings against Dr. Mishler demonstrates a significant degree of discovery abuse
  • Fifth, the merits of the allegations against Dr. Mishler were inadequately addressed because neither he nor any of the witnesses had the opportunity to view the X-rays and diagnostic films.
  • similar abuses
  • Dr. Mishler's surgeries were successful, the symptoms vanished,
  • The sole purpose of the power to revoke a physician's license is to protect the public.
  • Boswell held that a doctor's harsh criticism of other doctors did not warrant revocation of his license
  • the discipline was unwarranted.
  • The Board's power was not exercised for the proper and commendable purpose of protecting 297*297 the public from incompetent and negligent physician
  • 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.
  • only one
  • subsequently found to be unjustified,
  • Board
  • limit the evidence
  • obstruct Dr. Mishler's access to evidence,
  • violated the same policy
  • The Board knew that Dr. Mishler was so impoverished that he had declared bankruptcy, and that he could ill afford to hire counse
  • In short, we conclude that the Board's actions and the proceedings against Dr. Mishler constituted a disturbing abuse of its power
  • reverse the disciplinary order of the Board in its entirety and dismiss all proceedings against Dr. Mishler with prejudice

  • Freeman also appeals to novelty, writing that our licensing laws are old and relates this to the idea of general practitioners. However, the USMLE Step 3 was specifically designed to assess the ability of physicians to work unsupervised in an ambulatory care setting

    It took 10 years of litigation to address the corruption and dishonesty of the state medical board. The state medical board members used the state's authority to pursue strictly personal agendas and they maliciously deprived Alan J. Mishler, MD, the good neurosurgeon of his constitutional rights.

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.

  • 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.
