Truly terrible doctors are few and far between - but they’re out there
- "Consumer Reports" recently filed a public records request
- for California’s entire database of doctors on probation
Analysts found that:
- several hundred doctors in California alone had been disciplined
- (but often not barred from practice) for problems like:
--- blatant negligence
--- practicing under the influence,
--- dealing narcotics &
--- engaging in sexual misconduct with patients
The few bad apples have an outsize impact:
- about 1% of all doctors
- account for about a 33% of malpractice claims paid
