ARTICLE BELOW ABOUT THE INFAMOUSLY
TOO-LENIENT CORRUPTICUT MEDICAL BOARD:
=================================================
Yeah, well, not for lack of trying
to straighten them all out.
1)
"Corrupticut MDs can do whatever they want" - The Board:

2)
"Lustbader pointed out that DCF must meet the basic needs of 80
percent of the children in its care to meet the standard. That means,
for the 5,000 children in foster care, for example, the agency could
leave needs unmet for 1,000 of them and still comply, DUH!"

UConn intends to finally hire some smart people to fix its reputation
- Hartford Courant. Not going to happen unless and until they do a
180 and finally admit what "Lyme Disease" and LYMErix really are. See

Connecticut's A Haven For Doctors In Trouble
Negligent Physicians Connecticut Medical Examining Board needs to
toughen up
December 24, 2010
Advertisement
What do you do if you're a physician in Massachusetts, Rhode Island or
New York and have been disciplined by authorities — maybe even lost
your license — for, say, taking drugs, having sex with your patient or
delivering negligent care?
A number of doctors and other health care professionals sanctioned in
those neighboring states for such offenses have set up practice in
Connecticut. Why? Because authorities here are far more lax.
Connecticut too often overlooks disciplinary incidents that occur
elsewhere or applies restrictions that aren't tough enough.
Some of the best medicine in the nation is practiced in Connecticut,
but sadly there is a hard-to-change culture in the health care
community here of trying to paper over mistakes.
Progress has been made in publicly reporting hospital errors.
But the Connecticut Medical Examining Board, a volunteer panel of
mostly physicians appointed by the governor, has yet to put enough
starch in its discipline of incompetent or negligent doctors. It's
time to get as tough as our neighbors so that Connecticut is no longer
known as a haven for bad practitioners.
Censured? Come To Connecticut
Journalists for the Web-based investigative team C-HIT recently
conducted a study of licensing records of the past three years and
found that more than a dozen physicians had escaped serious licensure
actions in Connecticut although they had been issued reprimands or
censures, and in some cases had their licenses revoked or were made to
surrender them, in three neighboring states.
C-HIT found that some of the doctors who were sanctioned in other
states promptly relocated to Connecticut, with no restrictions on
their licenses. The medical examining board and the Department of
Public Health, which investigates and brings complaints to the board
for adjudication, presumably were aware of these discipline cases
moving into Connecticut. They certainly have access to the
information. Why didn't they act on it?
A study by the Public Citizen Health Research Group shows that
Connecticut ranks an embarrassing 47th out of 50 states and the
District of Columbia in the rate of serious disciplinary actions taken
by state medical boards against physicians from 2007 to 2009.
History Of Troubles
This is nothing new. Connecticut has consistently been in the bottom
10 states in each of the last four three-year reporting cycles.
Connecticut's volunteer board is not the best model for protecting
patients. The board and Public Health Department are often at odds,
blaming each other when things go wrong.
In 2004, Deputy Health Commissioner Norma Gyle said the board of
"doctors protecting doctors" should be abolished. Last year, Audrey
Honig Geragosian, director of communications for State Medical
Society, suggested the volunteer board be professionalized.
What About The Patients?
Connecticut's miserable record of cracking down on physicians who
break the rules is a black mark against the state. Why isn't patient
protection always an urgent priority? It can't be for lack of
resources.
The Public Health Department will apparently propose legislation
giving the state statutory authority to deem "as true" the findings of
another state's disciplinary proceedings — rather than having to
examine each out-of-state case as is done now. This will make it
easier for Connecticut to impose the proper restrictions on physicians
practicing here who got in trouble elsewhere.
That's a good, but belated start if the legislation comes to pass.
Connecticut should meet or exceed what other states do in tracking and
placing appropriate restrictions on physicians who get in trouble.
This state needs to take every step necessary to shed the image of a
disciplinary backwater.
