Sam Soloman talks about cases of physician sexual impropriety from Canada, where doctors are wondering if the medical boards should be publicizing the names of their indiscreet colleagues:
Is full disclosure alienating physicians from their regulators? Is it possible that what appears to be something of a backlash in several recent incidents might contribute to physicians’ reluctance to report cases of colleagues’ misconduct, because they believe the punishment is too harsh?
Should these cases be handled internally, without the need to make the doctor’s name public?
