How can you make sure your doctor is not a criminal?

When you have a problem with your plumbing or your car or truck, you check out and do research on your plumber or mechanic for references or you check the better business bureau. But at times the most vital things we leave to chance and do not do enough research on. It is is simple to find out more about your doctor or potential medical doctor.

Are you interested in learning more about your doctor? Possibly doing a background check on her or him? It can be a potent and valuable thing to search public records to learn more about your physician. Occasionally, criminal background checks can make discoveries that a internet search on google or bing doesn’t usually find. Your put your life in your doctors hands but its very difficult to know everything about them. You need to know if there’s any malpractice judgments against or if there are any other adverse public records about them.

While a doctor background check can assist you in obtaining valuable factual information about your physician’s possible criminal records, license status, malpractice lawsuits and judgments against them. Free doctor rankings can be another supply of useful facts as well. A couple of good sites for doctor rankings are Health Grades and Avvo has a doctor rating service in beta. Learning as much as you can through record searches whatever the source can help you find out about your current or potential new doctor’s track record. There are many on-line background check companies and services where you can do a full records search of a medical professional’s public records. A couple are Investigate A Doc and Free Doctor Lookup.

It is most important to get the track record of a doctor or medical board reports in order to find a leading physician who has no disciplinary actions. Each state has its own medical board that regulates, licenses and disciplines medical practitioners, so it is frequently tricky to uncover the facts on your physicians qualifications. The best site will produce access to the state medical board internet websites for free of charge.

The Great Doctor Crime Wave of Mid November 2010?

Man it seems like there is a mini doctor crime wave going on right now. Maybe its the pressure for healthcare reform or something.
Recently there is the story of a Hawaiian doctor charged in alleged murder-for-hire plot. This is a totally strange one. Truth is definitely stranger than fiction. A Hawaiian physician was arrested in connection with a murder-for-hire plot was charged on November 10, 2010 with a class A felony punishable — Criminal Solicitation to Commit Murder in the First Degree. It is punshable by up to twenty years in jail. In the affidavit of Police Detective William Malina released by the Honolulu Prosecutor’s Office, the affidavit describes the scarry details s of the alleged case against the MD who practices internal medicine. In the officer’s affidavit, it is alleged that on the morning of November 6, 2010, the doctor had a discussion with one of his female patients during their scheduled appointment. As some point during the appointment, he Doctor asked his female patient if she could be trusted and she replied “yes”. The doctor then described the situation with the mother of his child and ex-girlfriend, and that she was basically a thorn in his side. The doctor then asked, “Why don’t you do her in.”   The doctor provided the patient the the name, address and telephone number of his ex-girlfriend, saying his patient would be “rewarded” and all he wanted was his son, according to the female patient. Subsequently during another call with the woman the doctor told his patient he wanted to and I quote from the affidavit, “bash (his girlfriend’s) f_ cking head in,”  Strange days when a doctor attempts to use a patient to kill his lover. I think I got that right.
