Don't confuse the medical community at large with the bureaucrats who run state medical boards. There are times when MDs and RNs rightfully think doctors need retraining,discpline, or termination, and the system punishes the accusers as much or more than the accused. Most states don't even have comprehensive credentialing systemsto track across state lines.
You're right: Why should someone on a restricted license in one state get a full license in another without a probation period?? Or someone who has spent months in a psych hospital??
Ultimately it is the lawmakers and professional boards who have to make better credentialing happen; if we do it from the trenches, it gets us a lawsuit and a retributory investigation.
BTW, though I detest pedos with the best of you, aren't we all jumping on this guy without giving him the benefit of defending himself?? What if he was found out to have this shady past and is set up by someone with something to gain from the doc's downfall? It's still the little girl who is the pivotal source of the info here; just like any other case, there needs to be at least corroboration of her story by other present evidence, preferably forensic.
