Search
background information on any Doctor of Medicine (MD) in the
USA. You can also search background information on Plastic Surgeons, Dentists,
Veterinarians and
Chiropractors. Information on Dentists and Chiropractors is
available by state. Most of us do more research when we buy a
car or a television set than when we choose a doctor and a
hospital. That may be because may people do not know how to
compare doctors, how to research their background and what
questions to ask. All doctors are not
alike. Doctors vary in quality and expertise due to differences in their
training, experience and services. These differences in quality
become greater and matter more when you need sophisticated
medical care for a complex condition. A surgeon, for example,
who performs a complex procedure often, has better success with
it than a surgeon who does the same procedure only occasionally.
The complication rate and the death rate for the same procedure
may differ from one surgeon to
another.
Since you are selecting a doctor for issues regarding health and
medicine, don't be embarrassed or reluctant to ask the doctor
about his or her qualifications, experience and continuing
education. |

Ten
things your Hospital wont tell you.. |
| |
|
| |
What are your options if you have problems with your
Doctor? |
| |
Each state has its own medical
board and a complaint against a physician
must be filed with the state medical board in which the
physician does business. State medical boards have their own requirements and forms for
filing complaints. Filing a complaint with a medical board is not
a legal action. You should talk to a lawyer to see if you
have grounds for a lawsuit. If you believe that a physician has
engaged in any behavior that can be classified as criminal
behavior then you should contact the district attorney in the
jurisdiction where the doctor practices. Please understand that
state medical boards are usually made up of
physicians. Members of State medical boards are usually doctors
and therefore there is an inherent conflict and state medical boards
generally do not operate in your
interest. Board members generally have their loyalties to their
profession and they have no vested interest in your welfare.
When you have spent much of your life training and working to
become a doctor, it is human nature for yourself to believe that
doctors are pretty good people. This inherent conflict makes it
extremely unlikely that your complaint will result in a doctor
being disciplined. In spite of this it is good practise to file
a complaint as at the least it could alert future customers of
the doctor. The best weapon against bad medicine is openness and
public disclosure. |

Comments:
A six-month
ABC News,
PrimeTime Thursday investigation found that between Cigna
and Aetna, more than 150 doctors on their provider lists
for the New York City, Washington, D.C. and Los Angeles areas
had been disciplined by state medical authorities in the last 10
years for a wide range of offenses. More than 70 had been disciplined for medical negligence or
incompetence, including two surgeons who had operated on the
wrong knee. Others were cited for substance abuse, sexual
misconduct, fraud, poor record-keeping and over-prescribing
drugs. Statistics indicate that about 180,000 people die each
year as a result of doctor induced injury. |
