Rich:
The apathy from other medical professionals re HCQIA abuse or a matter
of fact any injustice/unfairness going on around them to fellow brethren
either in hospital setting or otherwise is simply appalling. As long as
their b**t is not on the frying pan, they are glad that it is you and not
them! Either they are 'gutless wonders' - hear your story, sigh with
sympathy and turn the other way, to carry on their business as usual.
Then, there are BOHICAs (bend over here it comes again!) who invariably
sit on all the key committees, check the right boxes and take immense joy
in watching you getting fried!
This comes my personal experience in 20 + years of private practice (NO
Contract), with three B certification ( Rad, Nucl Rad plus Managed Care
Medicine in 2001), squeaky clean credential files from 3 hospitals in 20
yrs with not a single letter of complaint from either physician,
patient, nurse or technician.
To this date. my mal-pract Ins carrier has paid ZERO to anybody! If I
can lose my privileges (without due process or right of hearing) by a sham
scheme designed and executed by my ex-partner ( supreme BOHICA) in
conspiracy and blessings of Hosp Adm , imagine the fate of a young Med
graduate or a doc with less than kosher professional history! Worse, can I
trust my own doctor to do the right thing for me in these kind of
hospitals!
My only crime was being very vocal advocate of quality issues in
patient care and refuse to dance to the tune of Admn. I told them
orally & in writing that I will try to do the best I can to my patients
(as if they are my family) without regard to interest of Hosp Admn or HMOs
or any other bottom line oriented pencil pushers! I am getting persecuted
and punished for my beliefs by a powerful Health system with no
accountability, sham social values and blinded with arrogant corporate
power.
I don't even need a hand, to count the number of docs willing to
support me! You become a persona non grata immediately both
professionally and socially! So I know, how it feels to be victim. My
legal bills nearing 7 digits and still counting! My fight goes on and
entering 8th year! Do you think I got a $ from any body or any of the ORGs
I used to be a member? Needless to say this has become a personal mission
for me.
