The doc works with the best knowledge they have, and complications can occur (think people on the edge of AFLD-and doc prescribes something say that is not be used by people with any liver complications-and this stuff happens all the time). Doc then gets sued. Doc's fault? NO. Will doc get sued?

Not all misconduct rises to such a level that it should warrant a public record. For example, where a doc develops a substance abuse problem, but no patient is ever harmed, why is a public record necessary? It seems a more appropriate sanction would be private censure, probation, treatment, monitoring, etc. <br /><br />That result would serve the interest of the public and the ends of justice. <br /><br /><br />Anon @7:50 p.m.: "Lawyers are scum.

What you do is obviously not the same as areas of medicine that are more populated with physicians. <br /><br />You, yourself, do not have to run; however, the mantra repeated endlessly by physicians is something to the effect of "we don't hold office" and/or "we don't write the laws". If physicians' livelihoods are threatened by lawyers (as all my doc friends swear to me they are), I find it astonishing that so few decide to try change the system. That is why someone might give up what they love doing. <br /><br />As for physician's transgressions-are you telling me that every doc who gets caught playing with their own script pad get a public punishment? (That is not a loaded question, I really want to know.)<br /><br />You complain about public scrutiny? I thought transparency was the issue that you were complaining about regarding lawyers. Moreover, you don't want elected officials put through a public ringer to determine if they are qualified or have skeletons in their closets that may be things voters should be aware of (and no, I am not saying that it completely protects society against bad public officials)?<br /><br />Anyway, and despite all the above bloviating, I don't understand the doc v. lawyer thing and probably never will.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2447438783001404385.post-45762613481080522262009-12-16T14:47:57.074-06:002009-12-16T14:47:57.074-06:00Doc, I was completely agreeing with you.
