Abstract:
The American Medical Association estimates there may be 500-1,000 North Carolina doctors who are mentally incompetent, impaired by drugs or alcohol, or engaged in unethical practices that endanger patients. Yet, very few lose their licenses. To find out why, Dee Reid interviewed a variety of experts and examined more than 100 public documents dating back to the 1950s.
