It might be worth reporting unprofessional behavior. I think it was last year in New Hampshire an elderly doctor almost lost his license for calling a woman fat (she was but she was offended by it)--it was all over the local news. KateSunny <wellnessnow@...> wrote: , not sure how it works in the U.S. but in Canada we report a physician to the Medical Association...it goes by province here. Also, a copy to the hospital he/she works through. It was a

gruelly process to go through, and I never did get an apology or anyone being accountable for their actions. I had a patient advocate assigned to me. She was very caring, yet placating at the same time. She told me from the beginning, "don't expect too much".The one thing that DOES happen is that there is a black mark against them in their file. So if anyone else reports them they add up, and hopefully are spoken to one day.Love ya,Sunny > >> > ,> > Dang, you told her what's what, didn't you! > > > > And not only did you take responsibility for your own health, I do > believe you made an impact on her.

It is important to report unprofessional and illegal conduct. It is hard enough

to hold

doctors accountable - even for egregious conduct. My plastic surgeon lost his

license only

8 years after killing a woman with the improper use of anesthesia (not my

determination,

but the state's). He operated for at least a decade, falsely advertising he was

board

certified in plastic surgery. By the time he finally lost his license, he had

several criminal

charges of sexual assault against him. I found this out when I was trying to

find my

records, just a couple of years ago.

It takes an act of God to discipline a doctor, let alone take away a license.

No competent professional doctor should be concerned about discussions of

reporting

doctors who are not.

Kate, I think in alot of cases, people get used to being abusive,

because nobody says anything. Who knows how they were raised? Just

because people have a degree, doesn't necessarily mean they have

emotional healing. When you're in a trusting, professional position,

it's twice the whammy, however, when you offend people.

Sometimes I would just say, " what you just said offended me, " and if

they respond and apologize, I'm willing to go the second round.

Otherwise, I take steps to bring them to accountability.

Sunny

Rogene, I'm sure if any professional & caring doctors are reading

these posts, they will totally understand what is being discussed.

They are not one of the unprofessional ones.

I believe it's important for us to speak against abuse, in any

situation. I'm sorry this has made you uncomfortable, Rogene.

It's a place my healing journey has taken me only a few times.

For all you awesome, loving doctors, out there, we DO need you and

respect you.

Love & Blessings,

Sunny
