Pending due-process in peer-review, practice-selection is the only way to avoid the ravages of for-profit peer-review.  Reform is a matter of public health.  We are all patients. 

 

"Six of my cases were brought up for review by a tissue committee controlled by competitors.  A nurse (sic), employed by the Saint Francis Hospital, testified that I had the highest rate of complication.  Why such testimony was admitted is a matter of some interest, in itself.  Liability for bearing false witness is an important related matter, in itself, and falls under the topic of immunity.  Under our gracious new laws, I would not be able to win $500,000 today were a nurse again caught committing libel."    Verner S. Waite M.D., FACS.  714-995-7242.  Founder, Semmelweis Society (1986).
