How do you get medical professionals to care about this issue when they're not involved with these programs? It must be too easy to discount criticisms from doctors in the system as just the carping of miscreants.
Exactly. For most docs, it's one of those phenomena that you don't know about until you're in it. Then, you're so in it, you don't know what hit you. I believe change takes place when a critical threshold of harmed docs is reached, and a sufficient number of non-directly involved docs sees it, validates it, and rises to the occasion to do something about it. Breaking through unawareness is the first step. Realizing it's a significant problem and is fundamentally unfair is the next. Then moving toward doing something to confront it is the action step. Continuous awareness is key.
It been a few years since we’ve spoken. Your work on PHP is great and appreciated. I’m considering allowing LifeGuard (not a PHP but as you know, also, like the PHP, potentially suspect for and subject to corruption influences of the medical boards from which they receive their victims) to take a crack at me in order to be approved for practice. I recognize that the odds are not good but wonder if you have any documentation to support investing the 15 k that they require versus letting it go as a bad investment.
Hi Jon, Don't know anything about LifeGuard. As time goes on, odds of favorable action diminish. Suspect it's better to investigate the basis for the wrongful action of the MLB or PHP and see if it violated any state or fed laws. The avenues of approach are still laden with obstacles, but becoming clearer.
