The typical profile of a good physician/surgeon who would be subjected to a damaging hospital peer review is someone who can be perceived as being an easy target. She/he can have any one or more of the following characteristics:
1. A solo physician, or a physician whose practice partner is not part of the good ol' boys circle.
2. A physician whose medical practice partner is actually not supportive.
3. A physician whose partner is being attacked indirectly.
4. A physician belonging to an unusual profile (eg, a foreign-born physician, an African American physician, a good-looking feminine female surgeon, an unpopular religious affiliation, .... you got the picture)
5. A physician from out-of-state with very, if any, networking connections in the community of the hospital.
