Be careful what you suggest. It might be taken as a policy position by a politician looking to reform the rather broken medical “discipline” system.

But when there is a shortage of good primary care doctors, you don’t start taking medical licenses away because of bad recordkeeping.

The first part is irrelevant to the case in issue not to mention a self-created problem (not just PCPs but across the board).

…I have wondered if Dr. Hsu’s ethnicity had anything to do with him getting singled out.

Ack. Playing the race card. I did not know that the Revruhnd Jesse “can I get a shakedown” Jackson was also an MD. The facts of the case are the best points to argue.

There were lots of hinky things about the case, including a blatant conflict of interest on the part of the doctor investigating Dr. Hsu's practice. “So juries of ordinary people shouldn’t sanction doctors, and other doctors shouldn’t sanction doctors.

Straw man.
