eath is f ast~r ;)...Ci~S That the well-being of Oilifornians in very large numbers is t reatened by inept and careless doctors has become an intolerable reality. to a 100-page report just issued by a clearly impartial group, medical monitoring by California's Board of ed' al Quality Assurance is failing to protect Californians from unskillful and dishonest physicians. Authors of the study by the Center for Public Interest Law at the U111versity of San..Diego estimate that 10 to 15 percent of the 0,000 hcen cd California doctors 'are so e I:, unpaired they '"e not fit to practice medicine." Th1:s simply means that as 1 0 California doctors jeopardize the· hfe and limb of thousands of patients in this state because of their of c-n1 etence. r investigators found that last year only 12 doctors statewide \\ere d1sciplmed by the board for incompetence or neglect. t --··--= .--··•iod, ,however C'P. r. there wer 715 lpra tire a\\su1t a\\ards in excess of $30,000 and some 250 } IClans were forced out of Cahfornia hospitals b!'cause of their ro s me ·cal malpractices. Bureacratic sloth so profound that its investigations go on as l ng a eight years have rendered the board virtually moribund," the investigators concluded...This system, is so low, so meager, and so trivial that death is weeding out incompetent physicians much faster than is the board," commented one member of the center. Californians are indebkd to the center for this lucid, arousing report. Even so, misgivings about the report's proposal to create a 'medical quality court" of judges and an expanded staff of prosecutors in the Attorney General's office have come from reputable organizations, including the California Medical As ociation. The problem with medical misgivings about medical reform is t 1at doctors have shown themselves to be incapable of policing their own house. Clearly, the Legislature must now act to weed out as many as 10,000 California doctors who should not be practicing medicine on a relatively helpless public.
