It is surprisingly easy for a doctor to get Data Banked as there is no "due process" as per the Health Care Quality Improvement Act of 1986. (HCQIA)<br /><br />Based on the available data, one can argue that one reason why the NPDB exists is to shield corporations from their own negligent acts and from competition from independent doctors.<br /><br />It is an unconstitutional blacklist run by private Nazis and it is meant to be the final solution for many independent doctors in America. If you look at the early history of the NPDB, it was always planned to be this way... It has been terribly effective so it's days must abruptly ccome to an end for the sake of our country and patients.<br /><br />I am passionate about this as I have personally investigated hundreds of surgeons who have been "data banked" for reasons that do not elevate to this "capital punishment" of a surgeon's or physician's career.<br /><br />You would be surprised how easy it is to "data bank" someone. It is usually done by the Medical Staff Secretary upon the order of the CEO of the hospital and WITHOUT DUE PROCESS as per the Health Care Quality Improvement Act.<br /><br />We simply ask for DUE PROCESS. Can you believe that I am asking for something that you, the non-physician reader take for granted? And Constitutional rights and protections like all Americans enjoy would be welcomed.<br /><br />This IS America. It is time for simple fairness. Simple Justice.<br /><br />Richard B.
