License Suspended

In the campaign to close the practice of Dr. Gambee, after thirty years
of practicing, the Medical Board suspended Dr. Gambee’s licence to
practice.  After the board filed a complaint against Dr. Gambee in
June, for prescribing thyroid & testosterone, Dr. Gambee requested a
Contested Case Hearing. Rather that proceeding to the hearing the
board, in a surprise move, suspended Dr. Gambee’s license.
The Board has not demonstrated that any harm had been done, nor had a
patient complained of being harmed.  In fact, the only complaint came
 from a 23 year old patient that Dr. Gambee felt would be healthier if
she took thyroid, rather than antidepressants, sleeping pills and oral
contraceptives.
Dr. Gambee’s attorney is working to get a stay of this suspension until
there can be a hearing.
This is typical of efforts of regulatory boards, suspend the enemy and
wear them down through attrition.  Take away their income, force them
to hire an attorney, and soon they will force to quit.  This happened
previously to Dr. Gambee in 1993.
