I'm sorry I offended you. I will ignore all the arguments you made up for me and get to the facts.

Malpractice is a lawsuit, nobody is immune from lawsuit -(although you guys sure do try).

I'm talking about losing your license. I have seen a single private practice doctor go in for multiple spousals, DUIs, and repeatedly prescribing drugs for their wife that he ended up taking himself. It took two years for him to lose his license after a brief 3 some odd month suspension and a reinstatement for another year and half of practice.. He only lost his license after his second DUI. I care not to mention just how many police officers gave this guy 'discretion' driving him home after getting pulled over or beating his wife., they just could ignore his car wrapped around a tree. This is in California.

I noticed you completely ignored my principle example of doc In a box with oxy...care to wager in on way most of those doctors are still practicing even after having prescriptions to oxy 10 standard standard deviations away from a regular gen pract? Instead of doctors losing their license, they get prescription monitoring, hard copy prescriptions, and limited prescription pill amounts to force your colleagues into order at the federal level. The state medical board and associations just sat around farting and collecting checks while this was going on.

The fact is, their are some of you that should lose your license, but in general; Doctors are too busy protecting your power and control than being objective enough to advocate for that. I understand that catch 22 for job security and fighting the administration, but people are dying.

And...even is somehow you fuck up soooo much that you lose your state license, you can just drive across a state line and practice again.

Prescription drug deaths are out of control. An evidence based approach clearly signals that.
