Podiatrist Peer Review Risks
A New Era Peril
By Dr. David Edward Marcinko; FACFAS, MBA
The Center for Peer Review Justice is a group of physicians, podiatrists, dentists and osteopaths who have witnessed the perversion of medical peer review by malice and bad faith.
Raison D’etre
Like the American Association of Neurological Surgeons [AANS], they have seen the statutory immunity, which is provided to “peers” for the purposes of quality assurance and credentialing, used as cover to allow those “peers” to ruin careers and reputations to further their own, usually monetary agenda of destroying the competition.
Cause and Goals
Therefore, the group is dedicated to the exposure, conviction, and sanction of doctors, and affiliated hospitals, HMOs, medical boards, and other such institutions, that would use peer review as a weapon to unfairly destroy other professionals.
Assessment
www.PeerReview.org is a rallying point and resource center for any medical professional that finds himself in the midst of an unfair and bad faith attack by unethical, malicious “peers”.
Conclusion:
Would the peer-review board of a hospital, clinic or ASC judge podiatrists more or less harshly on informed-consent issues today, versus a decade ago? Your thoughts, opinions and comments are appreciated.
