Douglas Farrago on his blog Authentic Medicine often posts letters he receives from other physicians. A letter from Dr. Scott Miller tells a fascinating story about the kind of boxed-in kind of thinking physicians are subjected to even by the medical boards charged with being able to ascertain whether physicians present a danger to patients.
Unfortunately, many fine physicians have been driven out of medicine for all the reasons I’ve written about on this blog, but Dr. Miller’s story illustrates a particularly nasty version of the abuse of physicians.
