This is the story of the author's encounter with the Kentucky Board of Medical Licensure. An experience every physician, perhaps every licensed professional, should fear more than a malpractice suit. It can lead to the loss of license and therefore livelihood, instantly, without practical recourse, on grounds without merit. When you find a patient lies to you that another patient abuses his prescription, in retaliation for refusal to share it, you should begin to appreciate your own risk. When you realize your medical board is a good ol' boy network with no transparency and a poor grasp of concepts like right and wrong your concern level should reach yellow. When you learn a Rasputin lurks among them, orange, and when their medical investigator walks into your office the terror level is red. But the story is told with good humor and progresses to suggestions to improve the system which could be incorporated into health care reform. Read it to be prepared. Login to review this product
