From the Author
"Patients have a right to know about their doctors - if they have been disciplined for sex offenses, or substance abuse, or incompetence, or anything else. Until the government opens its data bank, our analysis is the best way for them to find out. The most common disciplinary action for even the worst offenses was probation. Some states do little more than slap physicians on the wrist, leaving most questionable doctors free to practice with few if any restrictions." --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
