Unsupported allegations should not be allowed to end a medical career. Even a fair hearing only requires a preponderance of the evidence, which I understand to mean greater than 50/50 chance. My guess is that careers can be ended by something as simple as no completing charts in a set amount of time. How irrational is that?<br /><br />Karyn Bloustein meilma1@hotmail.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7799141205994793793.post-33832606659216421352011-06-27T20:01:46.477+01:002011-06-27T20:01:46.477+01:00Another pernicious thing about an NPDB report is t...Another pernicious thing about an NPDB report is the fact that no one will admit that that is the reason for denial of privileges. I assume that the hospitals are attempting to avoid litigation, but that makes the situation totally untenable. How can one attempt to explain the situation if no one will talk to you?<br /><br />The whole process is entirely unfair. And numerous reports on the web talk about how wonderful and protective the whole system is. I am certain it has it's uses buy for the mere accusation of poor practice should not be capable of killing a physicians career. We work incredibly hard for many many years and for this to be entirely destroyed forever by some adminstrator spending 4 or 5 hours time is unconscionable.dauerbachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02867455267725985975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7799141205994793793.post-52903349486217246082011-06-26T22:04:48.794+01:002011-06-26T22:04:48.794+01:00Two things need to change.

Since many hospitals have none, more than one should certainly raise flags that something strange may be going on.<br /><br />The second is that it is now possible to walk away from an investigation, and yet doing so is as much a career killer as losing your license would be. And since the instigating administrator will never admit this and even some lawyers may not realize this this should not be allowed to continue. Since walking away is equivalent to being found guilty it should be mandated that you must be found guilty or at least sign numerous forms saying that you have been encourage to undergo a fair hearing.dauerbachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02867455267725985975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7799141205994793793.post-39992698342800509272011-06-09T17:34:40.645+01:002011-06-09T17:34:40.645+01:00Yes, all of that is true.

A disciplinary action against a physician, followed by a NPDB reporting, essentially the career capital punishment, could be imposed with no constitutional due process. There are no guidliens as to what actions would warrant destroying a physician's career and shattering the physician's life and family with no mercy. With more than 90,000 MD physicians targeted for career destruction, I think it is safe to say that practicing medicine in the US (particularly specialties like surgery and gynecology) is a very costly gamble. The environment of practicing medicine in the US has changed with the destruction of the patient-physician relationship and the anti-physician hostile punitive culture that is like cancer. I hope I am wrong.Shammed Dochttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15100502845302239193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7799141205994793793.post-90329514817715255942011-06-01T05:15:19.901+01:002011-06-01T05:15:19.901+01:00Excellent work, but very discouraging! thanks for ...Excellent work, but very discouraging! thanks for your hard work.
