Update on Dr. Jennifer Daniels: are state medical boards biased against racial and ethnic minorities?

Townsend Letter for Doctors and Patients, May, 2005 by Marcus A. Cohen

Misbehavior on the part of state medical boards in determinations of physician misconduct should be corrected on all these fronts. Doctors unfairly disciplined are in the front ranks of people savaged by them. Ultimately, patients whose physicians are revoked lose the right to choose the services of doctors they prefer or medical options they need, especially where conventional care fails, and this group is much larger, so the damage and grievances are more unconscionable.
