Medical Boards routinely fail to take action. Often the action taken is done in a secret without patients ever knowing the violations of the medical provider. It is shocking really.

I was going to say that it sounds like it needs to be the police or the government who publishes those announcements if the medical board won't. But that wouldn't make it right either because it would be prejudicial for any court cases that followed. Innocent until proven guilty and all that. 🤔
