Oh yes, I remember this site. It says, " Questionable Doctors is the

only comprehensive, publicly available databank that contains

information on doctors who have been disciplined by state medical

boards and federal agencies in the past ten years. "

Why is it the ONLY public databank? I'm guessing it's pretty new. I

know at one time, it was an absolute no-no to divulge a doctor's

legal history.

There was also the surgeon who lost privileges because he had a high death

rate. But, no one would give him credit because he took on the patients no one

wanted. Surgeons will not operate on high risk patients, because it will

raised their loss rate, so they go untreated to die anyway.

In the state of Ohio we get (those who are licensed) get a list quarterly of who

has sanctions against them and for what. I'm not sure if this information is

readily available to the public. You could call you state medical & nursing

boards to find out, at least on the local level if that's true or not.

The only problem I see with these sites is that you truly don't know the details

of the actions brought against the physician. And was the physician truly at

fault. When a lawsuit is filed EVERYONE in contact is listed, who have has their

name on the patients chart. My sister-in-law was a consultant and actually was

the one who identified the problem, began treatment, contacted the Peds surgeon,

and the mess up happened there, but was named in the suit. The lawyers

don't give a hoot, wither doc xyz is not negligent, only doc abc, they take them

all down. They have those $$ signs in their eyes. Plus they know that it costs

much less to settle out of court then to prove innocence in a court of law, so

they win either way, and the malpractice co can raise rates, (they win) the

family doesn't get that much money to begin with as promised, and the physician

who had the judgment against them looks like they did something wrong. Trust me

after 30 years some of them are no better then street walkers but some in no way

are dil. negligent.
