Remember the douchebag who scalpeled his initials into a woman? (Or something like that.)

I think we need to wait for the hole truth to come out before we can go passing things like judgement.

Sorry, can’t. Confidentiality, and all that. But the peer review process does mandate reporting certain things to the state Medical Examining Board, and I did do that on more than one occasion.

I do occasionally tell carefully anonymized patient stories, because I’ve seen tens of thousands of patients from all over. But my peer review activities were restricted to a few hundred docs in one specific geographic area, so I don’t even want to hint.
