I am much more able to draw a conclusion when you get to >see BOTH sides... Well, it was eye-opening for me (and I thought I was jaded about this kind of stuff). Whether the guy did anything wrong in the 6 cases or so that he was 'guilty' of (and believe me, I'm NOT a VBAC kinda guy - he may deserve to rot in heck for what he did, if it WAS substandard). BUT..... The poor bastard was in danger of losing his license, he hadn't delivered a baby in over a year, he lived in a trashed out house because he couldn't afford to finish it (and it was piled high with records, legal stuff, etc, etc), and the BOARD asked if he was DEPRESSED. So he did the wrong thing. He told THE TRUTH. He said he was depressed and that it was getting worse. DUHHHHH!!!! If they come after YOUR license, you sure as hell would be depressed, too. SOOOOO, the fat guy on the BOARD (was he the non-MD or was he an MD) says: "Well, Dr. Morgan admits he's depressed and he's trying to blame it on us. I don't think this is salvageable." DAMN! He's SUPPOSED to be depressed in a situation like this. To my mind, it's the fat guy on the BOARD who's the sociopath. Where does he get off...?!? Mmmmmmmmmm.... gotta get ahold of myself. I'd like to hear what everyone else thought about the program. Yes, there WAS a "trail of dead bodies." But on the other hand, the BOARD didn't want to look at the numbers, it just wanted to hear feelings (nothing more than feelings), but it took Morgan's feelings and made something negative out of them. Sounds like it was a foregone conclusion by some of the BOARD members. The poor little foreign cardiologist was the only calm one of them... the rest seemed to have an ax to grind. NOT the quality of good judges. Nuff said. Joe P. -- ************************************************* doctorjoe@aol.com "All things are connected.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
