How could I lose my license?

Many things could cause the loss of your medical license. A complaint is the most common way that you could lose your license. Once a claim is filed, the board will need to investigate your case. An investigator will thoroughly research every aspect of your case and present these findings to the board. Then, the board will make a decision. You could face disciplinary action, which could be public or private. They could also take away your medical license. You can appeal to this process, but it is difficult without a lawyer.

You could also lose your medical license because of a criminal conviction. If you have gotten into legal trouble, you need to speak to a lawyer immediately. A criminal conviction could result in the revocation of your license, so you need to fight it. Even pleading to a reduced charge could save your license. An experienced attorney will be able to advise you of your rights and go over your options.

What are everyday disciplinary actions?

Every case is different, but the board has similarities in its decisions. Some of the more common issues physicians face are drug diversion and DWIs. A drug diversion allegation means that the doctor is accused of mishandling narcotics. Even if there is no truth to this complaint, the board still needs to investigate your case thoroughly. We have represented physicians in these types of cases. In some instances, we could resolve the issue before any disciplinary action was taken.

A DWI can end your career. There are many instances of doctors that lose their license over a DWI because they don’t take their conviction seriously. There is generally a substance abuse program that is offered to these physicians. Doctors will enter these programs without even consulting a legal professional. You should know all your rights before you agree to any substance abuse program. We have successfully handled cases of physicians that have been convicted of one or more DWIs.
