Medical Board of California STOP THEM from Hurting The PEOPLE

California Medical Board (MBC) has a massive budgets of Millions of Dollars but this budget is spent to increase the cost of Healthcare delivery and worsen the quality of Healthcare delivery to the PEOPLE. An urgent reform of the Medical Board of California can redirect these funds to benefit the public, healthcare and medical practice in our country and eventually solving the Healthcare Crisis dilemma our country is facing. It is questioned as to how the massive budget of the Medical Board of California is being spent. Many have suggested that the Medical Board of California is not doing what it was initially established to do and others are even accusing the members of this organization of all types of unethical or even illegal activities.

What is clear is that any person can complain to the California Medical Board even without a legitimate reason. Any complaint is enough to start an investigation by the Medical Board of California. Once an investigation is started however, very often the physician ends up getting some kind of probation/letter of reprimand or other disciplinary action filed against their license. The question is how much does it cost the Medical Board of California to conduct an investigation? Most likely hundreds of thousands of dollars are spent on each investigation. Is there sufficient data to suggest that this huge expense is justified? Is there a direct relationship with the activities of the Medical Board of California and improvement of the standard of Medical Practice. Many suggest that actually the opposite is true. It is suggested that the Medical Board of California has resulted in a massive increase in the cost of healthcare delivery and is decreasing the availability of healthcare to the people. Tens of hospitals have gone bankrupt and hundreds of physicians have stopped practicing their specialities. this has resulted in a worsened healthcare crisis whiz continues to hurt PEOPLE every day.

In addition the field of medicine is a relatively lucrative business and is extremely competitive. Frequently business managers try to employ aggressive and even unfair business practices such as referring other physicians to the CMB for investigation knowing that an investigation by the CMB will result in loss of time, money and resources for their competitors. Attorneys also utilize the threat of investigation by the California Medical Board as a leverage to settle baseless malpractice cases in their own benefit. This will obviously increase the cost of healthcare delivery to the PEOPLE and decrease its availability hence worsening the healthcare crisis we are all suffering from as a nation. If this is true; should Medical Board of California's existence be permitted to continue? Should Medical Board of California be allowed to cost our PEOPLE Millions of Dollars per year?

Since the CMB utilizes Administrative Basis of Evaluating Complaints there are very minimal and frequently vague and rarely objective guidelines to evaluate the conduct of the physicians. These guideline are often interpreted subjectively. Further, there are clear political ongoing issues between rival specialties. The EXPERT physicians that are hired by the Medical Board of California are usually of one particular specialty and depending on which specialist's files they review, there is a great deal of BIASED judgment that they are able to exert. As expert witnesses they are considered immune by the law. This unfortunate situation has continued for years and now has become a simple means of unfair-competition frequently being used by certain specialties against others. If this is true; should the PEOPLE finance such political battles and self serving activities?

Medical Board of California utilizes a hybrid of Administrative Law and Criminal Law to POLICE AND DISCIPLINE THE PHYSICIANS. To complicate the issues even more, unfortunately there are many limitations that are put in place by administrative-law on the individual being investigated. For example in criminal law a suspect has the right to an attorney and if he/she cannot afford one; one will be assigned to him/her by the State at no charge to the suspect. Further a suspect is considered innocent until proven guilty in a criminal case. In administrative law such guidelines do not exist. This results in frequent accusations that end up in disciplinary action despite the professionals' innocence. Obviously; if a physician is forced to hire and pay for his/her own legal defense against the ever-increasing threat of Medical Board of California; this huge expense has to be passed on to the PEOPLE who pay for the physician's services.

It is needless to describe how stressful and anxiety provoking the experience of investigation by the California Medical Board and the risk of loss of license and the ability to earn a living is for a physician. The ongoing liabilities; frustration with difficult work experiences; poor quality of life; decreasing income and many other negative experiences that physicians have been suffering from has resulted in tremendous dissatisfaction and anxiety for healthcare professionals. The increasing suicide rate of physicians; low life expectancy rate; poor quality of family life further make the healthcare field less attractive for young students. Many healthcare professionals are leaving the field or are encouraging their youngsters to enter other fields outside of healthcare and as a result we are facing terrible physician shortages throughout the United States. If the California Medical Board and other agencies that affect the practice of medicine in our country fail to reform their actions, the frightening physician shortages that threaten our country is expected to worsen and will make the current healthcare crisis even worse. If these allegations are true; doesn't it make sense that California Medical Board is most likely contributing to the lack of availability of affordable healthcare for the PEOPLE?

The very frightening and sad realities of Healthcare Crisis which are mostly caused by the Medical Board of California can be confirmed by an online search. We encourage ALL PEOPLE to undertake the responsibility of researching the Negative IMPACTS OF THE MEDICAL BOARD OF CALIFORNIA ON HEALTHCARE DELIVERY AND ON PEOPLE and take decisive action in reforming the Medical Board of California as soon as possible.

I would like to contact the author. At the time this was written, this is what was happening to me. The medical board of California destroyed my future and they have caused permanent lifelong harm that I am still trying to fend off. They have caused an unbelievable amount of harm. Its unimaginable. I graduated at the top of my class in medical school and my license exam scores are very impressive. I was also a RN before I went to medical school. In undergraduate I got straight As in all the hard sciences. In medical school, I was well above average and I often had to be careful to not make someone else look bad unintentionally. My patients complimented me often. I was really good a diagnosing and my future was bright. I was given a non-renewal of contract after two years of pathology residency because I was retaliated against for doing gender equity research after I complained about sex harrassment and discrimination. The board has spent enormous amounts of money and resources to destroy my future. Denial of my license...get this..."knowledge deficit". Knowledge deficit? No patient harm, no clinical mistake. Only a statement from a hateful misogynist. Its true. This is all true. And they report this to the national practitioner database. I will never work as a physician, or any other advanced field that is associated with caring for people. I did nothing wrong. Legal problems have snowballed now. People are really ignorant too. They actually believe the medical board just because its the medical board. I cant believe the level of corruption that I have discovered. It is mind blowing. There is a persistent appeal to authority, meaning that whoever has the higher status is more credible or telling the truth. If you are poor and of lower status, like a resident, then you are not believed. They do not use science or experts in science, they used a low life psychiatrist who testified to whatever the DOJ asked. They ruined my life forever and it has been 4 years since they left me wishing I was dead every single day. Prevention of public harm? They caused extensive harm to me and my family and they prevented the people of California from receiving my high quality of services as a physician. This agency is not protecting anyone. They are corrupt and incompetent.
