~ .giS!bll-qard Said to Help ·0th er ·Doctors Gala! S. Gough, president of the state Board of Medical Quality Assurance, and board member J. Alfred Ride played key roles in implementing and maintaining the board's two-year moratorium on post-1975 Vietnamese graduates li- censes, according to James R. ~eaton, supervising attorney with the ~m~s1ly o~iego Center for Pubhc Inter~st La\\' and the lead attor~ey !or the_ plarn· tiffs. But the plaintiffs cite two rnctdents in claiming that, during the same penod, Gough and ruder had no qua_lms about pushing the board to grant licenses. to non-Vietnamese graduates of foreign schools with dubious credentials. Wheaton said after an Iranian applicant , failed an oral exam, Gough ordered the ,division to allow the Iranian to take th~ test again. The action came after a pn· 'vale meeting during which the applicant I 'charged he had been the victim of di~Ffimination. ' ' The day of the second test, said Whea· 1 ton Gough violated division rules and pe/4onally administered the exam to the Iranlan in a separate room without a sec• ona proctor present. Later, Gough 1 emerged from the room and said the Ira· nian had passed the test. Gough called Wheaton's versio~ of the incident a lie. He recalled the Iraman had complained to him that the division had denied him an opportunity even to take the exam because he lacked one docu- ment verifying his education. Gough said he told the division staff to lel the Iranian lake the exam, but not make the results available until the docu· menl was produced. After the applicant took and failed the test, Gough recalled, the Iranian complained to him about discrimination. ' Gough said he told the Iranian to re-ap- ply to take the exam and that he would be at the test site to "ensure you're not dis• cciminated against." Gough acknowl• edged he personally gave the exam to the Iranian, hut added, "He wasn't the only one examined by me. I gave him a very ,thorough exam, a very fair exam, and he P<¥Ssed the exam."
