WHEN I BEGAN WITH THE
DEPARTMENT THIS SPRING AT THE
BEGINNING OF THE PUBLIC HEALTH
EMERGENCY. I WAS AMAZED AT THE
EFFORTS AND THE COLLABORATION
AS WE EVALUATED HOW TO FIRST
AND FOREMOST KEEP INDIVIDUALS
SAFE. NOT JUST THE INDIVIDUALS
WE PROVIDE SERVICES FOR BUT THE
STAFF TO SUPPORT THEM AND THE
COMMUNITY AROUND THEM THE
FAMILIES- SOME OF THAT WAS
LIMITING VISITATION TO REDUCE
EXPOSURE. BUT AS AS WE CONTINUE
TO EVALUATE WE LOOKED AT MAYBE
FINDING WAYS TO ENSURE SERVICES
CONTINUED BY AUTHORIZING REMOTE
ACCESS OR ALTERNATIVE.
LOCATIONS TO DELIVER SERVICES.
AS THE NEW FOR THIS SO CNTINUE
FROM THE STATE'S RESPONSE WE
ALSO EXPANDED CAPACITY UNDER
DEVELOPMENTAL CENTERS TO
SUPPORT INDIVIDUALS WITH
DEVELOPMENT DISABILITIES. AS
WELL AS INDIVIDUALS IN THE
COMMUNITY WHICH WAS OPERATED BY
OUR SISTER AGENCIES- THIS WORK
DIDN'T END THERE AS AS THE-
PUBLIC HEALTH EMERGENCY
CONTINUES WE CONTINUE TO
EVALUATE BASED ON STATE.
STAKEHOLDER FEEDBACK AS
INFORMATION BALLS- MOST
RECENTLY SOME DIRECTIVES HAVE
OFFERED ADDITIONAL RATES FOR
ADDRESSING IN ADDITIONAL
ARTISTS FOR DIRECTED SUPPORT
DIRECT. SUPPORT I'M SORRY- AND
THEN AND THEN IT. AS WELL AS
NEW RATES FOR HELPING PEOPLE
PORTANTINO MORE SAFELY WHETHER
THAT'S- INCLUDING ONE OR TWO
STAFF TO STAY WITH INDIVIDUALS
IN SUPPORT OF LIVING- I LOOK
FORWARD TO OUR ON GOING EFFORTS
AS WE EVALUATE OPERATIONAL
EFFICIENCIES OF OUR DEPARTMENT
STAFF ALSO LOOKED AT
ALTERNATIVE WAYS OF COMPLETING
THEIR TASKS TO ENSURE THAT IT
OPERATIONS CONTINUE AND THAT WE
CAN SUPPORT IT ABOUT OUR
SERVICES SYSTEM- AS WE GO
FORWARD IN THE GOVERNOR'S
BUDGET AND BEYOND THE PUBLIC
HEALTH EMERGENCY WE ARE
EVALUATING. THINGS THAT WORKED
WELL THINGS THAT NEEDED
ADDITIONAL. NO EFFORTS AND WERE
TAKEN WHETHER NOT SEEKING
FEDERAL AUTHORITY OR CHANGING
SOME OF OUR REQUESTING
STATUTORY OR REGULATORY
CHANGES- BUT OUR OUR LONGER
TERM GOAL WILL BE ENSURING THAT
INDIVIDUALS WITH DEVELOPMENT
DISABILITIES. HAVE BETTER
ACCESS IMPROVED ACCESS. TO THE

MEMBERS ARE BELIEVED THERE
SHOULD OF THE BNP COMMITTEES ON
THE ASSEMBLY AND SENATE.
COMPROMISE LEGISLATION PASSED

FIRST MEDICAL BOARD TO ADOPT IN
THE COUNTRY GADHAFI'S THESE ARE
A FEW EXAMPLES OF APPROVED MARA
BY THE SENATE I WILL CONTINUE
TO WORK HARD- TO PROTECT AND
IMPROVE THE HEALTH OF
CALIFORNIANS THANKS FOR TAKING
CARE OF MY LIFE TO. I'M MADAM
CHAIR I'LL BE HAPPY TO ANSWER
ANY QUESTIONS THANK YOU FOR THE
OPPORTUNITY THANK YOU VERY MUCH
DOCTOR- DOCTOR MAHMOUD. YOU
NEED A MUTE. GOOD AFTERNOON
MADAM CHAIR THANK YOU AND-
MEMBERS OF THE SENATE THANK YOU
FOR TAKING ME ON THIS THING AND
I REALLY APPRECIATE THIS
OPPORTUNITY AND TANK- GO THE
NEWS SOME OF FINDING ME AND
GIVING ME THIS OPPORTUNITY TO
SERVE THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA.
MY NAME IS DOCTOR SAYS MAHMOUD
I'M A PRACTICING PHYSICIAN HIT
IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA. MY
LIFETIME. ON PASSION AND-
DESIGN HAS BEEN TO HELP AND
SERVE PEOPLE. AND THAT'S WHAT I
DO EVERY SINGLE DAY. NOT ONLY I
HELP PEOPLE TREATING THE
DISEASES BUT I. GOT INVOLVED IN
EVERY SINGLE CHALLENGE DAY FREE
IS EVERY SINGLE DAY. MY
PRACTICE COMPRISES OF MILLION.
MOST OF MY PRACTICE COMPRISES
OF MINORITY PATIENTS AND THAT
IS BY CHOICE BECAUSE I WANT TO
HELP MORE DOES SCHOOL REALLY
NEED HELP. THAN THOSE WHO ARE
PRIVILEGED. I HAD BEEN TRYING
TO FIGHT FOR MY PATIENCE WITH
THE HEALTHCARE PLANS AND- IDEAS
AND- I TROUBLES AND- MANY OTHER
PROVIDERS WHO ARE GIVING A HARD
TIME TO MY PATIENTS AND- I
BELIEVE- HEALTHCARE IS A RIGHT
NOT A PRIVILEGE. I ALSO BELIEVE
NOT ONLY HEALTHCARE QUALITY
HEALTHCARE HEALTH GET RICHER
THAN ACCOUNTABILITY AND THAT
WAS THE REASON I WANTED TO MOVE
ON FROM ME AND I AM. TO THE
STATE LEVEL AND BEYOND BOTTOM
MEDICAL VOTE. BECAUSE THEY- THE
REAL JOB OF MEDICAL VOTE IS TO
PROVIDE A QUALITY HEALTHCARE.
IT IS AN ACCOUNTABILITY THERE
ARE CHECKS AND BALANCES. I
WOULD D MY JOB IF CONFIRMED AS
FAIRLY AS TRANSPARENTLY. AS ALL
MY LIFE HAD BEEN DOING. NOBODY
WAS BETWEEN ME AND CONSUMERS
AND PATIENTS WHO NEED
DESPERATELY HEALTHCARE AND
QUALITY HEALTHCARE. WE KNOW
THAT MOST OF THE POSITIONS AND
PROVIDERS IN THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA ARE DOING THE JOB IN
A TREMENDOUS WAY. NO PROFESSION
IS COMPLETELY OUT OF PEOPLE WHO
ARE CALLED BAD APPLES. AND IT
IS MY JOB AND MY DUTY TO MAKE
SURE THAT NO NEGLIGENCE
HAPPENED BECAUSE- TWO THINGS
ARE THE MOST IMPORTANT THINGS
IN LIFE HEALTHCARE AND LIFE.
AND IF SOMEBODY IS NEGLIGENT
AND HIT A PATIENT INTENTIONALLY
UNINTENTIONALLY RATHER
DIFFICULT TO USE A DIFFERENT IF
THEY'RE NOT APPLYING THE
STANDARD OF CARE TO THE
PATIENTS I THINK WE NEED TO
SHOULD WE SHOULD HAVE. ON THE
ACCOUNT. AND THAT IS REALLY ALL
ONE WORD EVERY SINGLE DAY LIKE
I HAVE BEEN DOING EVER SINCE I
WAS APPOINTED TO TAKE EVERY
DOLLARS BUT HE SERIOUSLY AT ALL
WANT TO ESTABLISH A TRUST
BETWEEN PEOPLE OF CONSUMERS AND
MEDICAL BOARD. I WANT TO HEAR
FROM PEOPLE THIS STATE OKAY WE
TRUST THIS MEDICAL BOARD I WANT
TO MAKE SURE WE HAVE A
COMMUNICATION ANY PATIENT ANY
CONSUMER WHO IS A CONCERN
SHOULD BE. EASILY ABLE TO REACH
MEDICAL MODE AND MEDICAL BOARD
SHOULD HAVE. THE RESOURCES TO
ACT ON THAT. IN A- FOR. AND THE
CONSUMERS BE GIVE THE- AND ALL
THESE CASES WOULD BE TAKEN IN A
TIMELY MANNER. I AM A LITTLE
PASSIONATE PERSON AND I KNOW
BOARD HAS THE RIGHT DIRECTION
BUT I THINK THERE'S A LOT MORE
TO BE DONE. I AND I ALSO WANT
TO THANK MY FAMILY WILL GIVE ME
A LOT OF TIME TO DO ALL MY
WORK. AND I AGAIN THINK YOU AND
I WOULD BE HAPPY TO. ANSWER ANY
QUESTIONS THANK YOU AGAIN.

PROTECTION ADVOCATE. AS THE
PRIMARY PURPOSE OF THE MEDICAL
BOARD. EVERY DAY MY STAFF AND I
ENSURE THAT EVERY PERSON WE
SHOULD WE SEE. RECEIVE THE CARE
THAT THEY NEED REGARDLESS OF
THEIR ABILITY TO PAY. JUST THIS
MORNING AT THREE FORTY FIVE. I
WAS TOLD. BY MY ANSWERING
SERVICE. TO TALK WITH A
MENTALLY CHALLENGED ELDERLY
WOMAN WOULD FALL AT ALL. HER
FIRST THOUGHT WAS TO CALL ME
HER DOCTOR BEFORE SHE CALLED
NINE ONE ONE. OR ANYONE ELSE
THAT COULD HELP HER. IN TWO
THOUSAND THREE I WAS APPOINTED
BY THE MEDICAL DIRECTOR OF A
SINGLE REAL HEALTH CLINIC THAT
WASINSTRUMENTAL. IN PROVIDING
CARE TO PEOPLE WHO OTHERWISE
WOULDN'T HAVE ACCESS TO CARE- I
THOUGHT TIME CONVERSING
APPROACHING TWENTY THOUSAND
BUSINESS YEAR. IN PART I WAS
RESPONSIBLE FOR THE EXPANSION
OF THE CLICK SYSTEM. TO OVER
FOUR CLINICS ONE OF WHICH WAS A
FORTY THOUSAND SQUARE FOOT.
STATE OF THE ART MULTISPECIALTY
CLINIC. OTHER PROVIDED
EXCELLENT HERE AND NOW WE SEE
APPROXIMATELY. WELL BEFORE THE
FIRE SUBCOMMITTEE THOUSAND
VISITS PER YEAR. I BELIEVE
STRIVING FOR EXCELLENCE IN CARE
FOR ALL PATIENTS. IT'S TRUE
CONSUMER ADVOCACY. I SPOKE WITH
THE FIRE NUMBER EIGHT TWENTY
EIGHTEEN IS A DAY I WILL NEVER
FORGET- I'VE GOT A VERY VIVID
MEMORIES OF THAT DAY- THE
CAMPFIRES AND CAME TO BE KNOWN
AS RESPONSIBLE PHILOSOPHY HE

THE MEDICAL DIRECTOR THE WORLD
HEALTH CLINIC I PARTNERED WITH
THE FEATHER HOSPITAL
INADMISSIBLE. DEMAND PHONES
ENSURE THAT MY MEDICAL STAFF

CARE OF PATIENTS THAT WERE OUT
OF MEDICATIONS ARE NEEDED.
ADDITIONAL CARE. SOCIAL YOU
PARTNER WITH BLUE SHIELD OF
CALIFORNIA AND TELLER AND OF.
HI HERE TO TELEMEDICINE
PLATFORM THAT WAS DEVELOPED SO
WE CAN WE CAN. MANAGE THESE
PATIENTS DREADED DISTANCE AND
COULDN'T FIND PRIMARY CARE
WHERE THEY HAD AND WERE A
DENTISTRY TO. I WE HAVE BEEN
FORTUNATE TO BE BACK HER
CURRENT LOCATION WORK IN
PARADISE SINCE AUGUST OF TWENTY
TWENTY. ONE FIVE OR SIX
PARTNERS INCLUDING MYSELF HAVE
LOST EVERYTHING THEY POSSESSED
THE NEXT SOCKET THEY HAD WAS
HOW DO WE TAKE CARE OF OUR
PATIENTS. NATURAL CONSUMER
ADVOCACY. I BELIEVE ALL
AMERICAN BOARD OF PHYSICIANS
ALONG VERY CAREER. EXPERIENCE
IS A PRIMARY CARE DOCTOR
SPECIALIST. INSURER OF
NONINVASIVE CARDIOVASCULAR AND
OSHER STUDIES SURGICAL
ASSISTANT LEADER MEDICAL GROUP
FOR TWENTY YEARS AND MEDICAL
DIRECTOR OF A REAL HEALTH
CLINIC FOR FIFTEEN YEARS. I
HAVE HELD LEADERSHIP POSITIONS
ARE HOSPITAL IN COUNTY STATE
AND NATIONAL ASSOCIATIONS ON
MANY LEVELS ALL OF THESE
EXPERIENCES HAVE GIVEN ME GREAT
INSIGHT INTO A PHYSICIAN'S
ACTIVITY AND BEHAVIOR AND THE
ABILITY TO MAKE DIFFICULT
JUNCTIONS. I LOVE BEING A
DOCTOR ANSWERING MY PATIENCE
AND I JUST WANT TO SERVE MY
COMMUNITY AND I WANT. TO
ENCOURAGE THE BEST AND
BRIGHTEST YOUNG MAN'S. ON YOUNG
MINDS OF SORRY CHIU JOINED THIS

STEEP LEARN CURVE IS BEGINNING.
BUT ALSO ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS
ADVOCATED- I'M GENERALLY AGREED
WITH THE ATTORNEY GENERAL'S
RESPOND BUT THERE'S BEEN A FEW
CASES WERE ADVOCATE FOR MORE
SEVERE DISCIPLINE. I VOTED FOR
A FEE INCREASE FOR ALL
LICENSEES MEDICAL BOARD
INCLUDING PHYSICIANS AND VIABLE
REVENUE THE REASON IT COMES
FROM PHYSICIANS. IF YOU
INCREASE IS CRITICALLY
IMPORTANT AND NECESSARY FOR THE
WORK OF THE BOARD TO PROTECT
THE HEALTH. OF CONSUMERS AND TO
ENSURE THE LICENSING AND
REGULATION. POSITIONS IS NOT
APPROPRIATELY. I AND WILL
CONTINUE TO ACT WITHOUT BY
JUDGE FAIRLY. PROTECTIONS AND
DISCIPLINE PHYSICIANS WHO FAIL
THEIR NATION'S. I THINK MY TIME
ON THE BOARD ALONG WITH MY

FOR ITSELF. THANK YOU MADAM

FOCUSED ON IS CERTAINLY THE
OPIOID EPIDEMIC. FILE WE HAVE
LOST OUR SO MANY ARE YOUNG

AT THE DEATH CERTIFICATES. WHAT
STEPS ARE YOU TAKING AS WE GO

RELATED TO ENFORCEMENT BECAUSE
IS IT PROPOSAL AS A SIGN OF
FINANCIAL GAIN THAT'S INVOLVED.
I COULD YOU GIVE US SOME
COMMENTS ON THAT ALL THREE OF

YOUR OWN AREA. AND WHAT WE

PART ABOUT DAYS. YEAH I WAS
DEPARTMENTS I WAS UNDER WE
CENTER TO OUR. YOUR ARE KNOWN
OF THE ACTUALLY TAKING ACTION
SO HE- WHO DO NOT FOLLOW. IT
MANAGEMENT. TO PAY MANAGE GUIDE
OF WHAT FORMER BY. VICE AREN'T
GOING TO MAKE ALSO SO THERE ARE
GOING TO THE NEW TO FOLLOW. AND
IF YOU LOOK ARE AT BE
PRESCRIPTION DRUG. DOES ARE
INCREASED. RIGHT NOW OUR BUSY
HIS AMERICAN THAT THESE IDEAS
USE. UNFORTUNATELY VERY LOT OF
THROUGH MEXICO THROUGH THE
LEGAL FOR. ELITE FOR HER THIS
CALL THROUGH AND BE DANGER
REGARD THESE. YOU BE TWICE AS
AS MARK ARE COULD BE HAN TIME
AS POWERFUL AND MARK. HALL WAS.
SO SIMPLE FOR TO KNOW ALL BLACK
STRING OFF FROM ILLEGALS
ANOTHER DECADE SO YOU KIND OF
THERE FOR. I THAT I ACT PRESENT
THE BORDER EVEN WITH THE D. THE
CITY HALL THEY CAN HELP US I'M
BACK NEEDS. BURGER STATE AND
LOCAL DOT. WHO WHO WERE
TOGETHER THE TAKE OF THE GIRL
THANK ISSUE BY AS FAR AS THE
FIRST DRUGS I THINK WE ARE THE

WE NEED ANY IN THE LEGISLATURE
TO ENHANCEMENTS WILL COME TO

THANK YOU. THANK YOU AND I SEE
WHAT THE DOCTOR REMOVED WHAT
YOU WANT TO ADD TO THAT AND
THEN DOCTOR DOOR POINT YOU WANT
TO ADD TO THAT THEY WILL. IF
OTHER QUESTIONS COME WE'LL GO
IN REVERS ORDER SO THAT TO US.
SO THAT THE BURDEN DOES NOT
FALL- ON DR GET AN IDEA OF
COMPLETELY SO- DOCTOR MOVE GO
AHEAD. AND IT IS THANK YOU I.
TRULY BELIEVE THIS IS THE MOST
BURNING YOU SHOW NOT IN JUST
CALIFORNIA. IN THE WHOLE
COUNTRY. WHAT YOU'RE SEEING
EVERY DAY IT IS JUST THAT. IS
HEARTENING- BOUTIQUE IS VERY
SERIOUSLY IN LOSS BOARD MEETING
WE INVITED DAY- ONE NATIONAL
FIGURE ON PAIN MANAGEMENT TO
MAKE SURE EVEN OTHER BOARD
MEMBERS. ARE WELL EDUCATED
ABOUT PAIN MANAGEMENT. DOCTOR
GOOD IDEA OF THAT- SAID WELL.
THAT THE PROBLEM IS TWO WAYS
NUMBER ONE IS PRESCRIPTION
DRUGS AND OTHER NONPRESCRIPTION
THE CALLED STREET DRUG WHAT
THIS DISTRICT RUGS- I THINK
GUILDS DAD. SYSTEM WHERE WE CAN
CHECK IS PATIENTS TAKING FROM
WITH MANY HOW MANY OF THE
POSITIONS OF PROVIDERS THAT CAN
MANAGEMENT SO WE CAN KEEP AN
EYE ON THAT. AND DEATH
CERTIFICATE PROGRAM DEFINITELY
HAS GIVEN US- MORE LEEWAY. TO
KEEP A HOLD ON THAT BUT- I
THINK THE PROBLEM IS MUCH
BIGGER THAN JUST THESE COUPLE
OF PROGRAM I THINK WE NEED TO
GET ON BOARD COMMUNITY AND HAVE
SOME EDUCATION PROGRAM AND THE
CHILDREN WERE TRYING TO GET A
DOCTOR THE TOTAL PEOPLE WHO DO
THE PAIN MANAGEMENT. EVEN MORE
AGGRESSIVELY AND I THINK THERE
IS A AND- A IN MANAGEMENT
REQUIREMENT FOR ALL THE
CALIFORNIANS ESPECIALLY PEOPLE
WHO ARE JUST DOING THE PAIN
MANAGEMENT OR ANYTHING ELSE
THEY NEED TO HAVE A MORE
AGGRESSIVE TRAINING. AND THEY
NEED TO PINPOINT THOSE PEOPLE.
AND IN WELL AHEAD OF TIME
BECAUSE- LOT OF PEOPLE WHO GET
ADDICTED. TO THE PAIN
MANAGEMENT OF PAIN DRUGS-
USUALLY ON THE PRESCRIPTION
DRUGS THEY HAVE SOME KIND OF
PROBLEM WE JUST SURGERY OF
FRACTURED OR SOMETHING LIKE
THAT OFF OF THE TO GET ON THAT.
AND ULTIMATELY THEY GOT ON THE
STREET DOT SO I THINK PROBLEM
IS VERY CRITICAL SKILLS IS A
VERY GOOD JOB EXAMPLE DEATH
CERTIFICATE IS REALLY GOING.
COMMUNITY EDUCATION IS REALLY
GOING. TO BE THE ID- TEACHING
ON BOARD. AND ALL OF THE
ORGANIZATION WHO. ARE PLAYING
PARTY COMMITTEE. SHOULD ALSO BE
IN LAW. AND IT SHOULD BE
ADDRESSED ONE OF THE LEAD. BUT
I ALSO TO GATHER WITH
PRESCRIPTION DRUG PROBLEM IS AT
LEAST. BACK TOWARD IF NOT
GETTING WORSE. THANK YOU YOUR
THANK YOU DR THORPE ANYTHING TO
ADD- THE ONLY THING I WOULD ADD
IS THAT WE ARE AS A BOARD WE
ARE ACTUALLY IN THE BOARD
MEETING. TOMORROW FRIDAY IN
PART OF WHAT WE'RE DOING
TOMORROW ON FRIDAYS WERE
ACTUALLY CONSIDERING- UPDATED
SET OF PRESCRIBING GUIDELINES-
ASKING BASS I THINK THE LAST
TIME WE UPDATED THE GUIDELINES
IN TWO THOUSAND FOURTEEN AND SO
WORK- THANK YOU SEE THAT GO
FORWARD. THE BOARD HAS ALSO
TAKEN A- A PROACTIVE STANCE IN
THIS IN THAT. THERE WERE- THERE
WAS. SOME THE BOARD ON. DRUGS
ARE PRESCRIBING AND- HOW TO HOW
TO FACILITATE- THAT COMBINATION
EDUCATE PATIENTS EDUCATING
EDUCATING PHYSICIANS ON. THE
TRY AND PREEMPT AND NOT
CONTINUE TO TURNTHAT THE SHIP
I THINK WE HAVE MADE A LOT OF
PROGRESS- THERE IS SIGNIFICANT
IMPROVEMENT I'M ONE THING WOULD
SAY AS A CAUTION IS THAT. ARE
YOU GUYS TAKING CARE OF A
NUMBER OF PEOPLE WHO ARE IN
PAIN WHO HAVE. BEEN REQUIRING-
COMPLEX APPROACH. BOTH IN THE
ROLE OF CLINIC PRIMARILY THE
ROLE OF BUT ALL IN MY PRIVATE
PRACTICE AND CURRENTLY WERE IN
DANGER OF IT I'LL BE MAKING ITS
SOUL- SO SOCIALLY DISTASTEFUL
FOR THESE PEOPLE TO BE TO GO TO
THE PHARMACY AND CAN PICK UP A
PRESCRIPTION. THAT IS IT WE'RE
WE'RE IN DANGER OF ACTUALLY
HARMING SOME PEOPLE WHO REALLY
HAVE NO OTHER ALTERNATIVES AND-
MEDICATION FOR ANY KIND OF
QUALITY OF LIFE AND BE ABLE TO
DO THEIR ACTIVITIES OF DAILY
LIVING AND FUNCTION AS A
FUNCTIONING ADULT SO I WOULD
JUST SAY THAT YOU KNOW CLEARLY
RUNNING VERY GOOD PASS AYE AYE
MY GOAL IS TO TRY TO. ENSURE
THAT WE ARE- DOING ALL THESE
THINGS TO MAKE SURE THAT THE
WRONG PEOPLE DON'T GET THE
MEDICATIONS. BUT STILL THE
PEOPLE WHO NEED THEM ARE NOT-
THE DISCOURAGED BECAUSE THEY
ARE MEETING UP THESE
CONVOCATIONS. THANK YOU. THANK
YOU ALL ALL OF YOU FOR THE
RESPONSE ON THAT AND CERTAINLY
I TOTALLY AGREE DOCTOR FOR WE
NEED A BALANCE BECAUSE PAIN
MANAGEMENT IS STILL VERY
IMPORTANT TO QUALITY OF LIFE
ABSOLUTELY THAT PEOPLE WHO NEED
THAT CANNOT CERTAINLY GET IT IS
JUST KEEPING IT IN THE RIGHT
HANDS AND THE PEOPLE WHO ARE
PERHAPS OVERPRESCRIBING FOR THE
WRONG REASONS AND THEY GET
BETTER EDUCATION SO THAT SOME
VERY GOOD NEWS THAT YOU HAVE A
NEW SET OF GUIDELINES AND WHEN
YOU CAN SHARE A LITTLE SIDE. I
WOULD LIKE TO SEE SOME OF THOSE
BECAUSE WE HAVE A SIMILAR
LEGISLATION COMING THROUGH AND
IF YOU HAVE IDEAS THAT MIGHT
HELP US RATHER THAN REGULATION
I MEAN LEGISLATION MAYBE I
DON'T THINK WITH SOME OF THE
REGULATIONS- WOULD BE VERY
HELPFUL BUT THANKS AGAIN AND
I'LL I'LL I'LL TURN IT OVER TO
MY COLLEAGUES BUT TO ALL OF YOU
LIKE AGAIN I'LL CONGRATULATE
YOU AND THANK YOU GREAT
APPRECIATION FOR STEPPING FOR.
ONBOARD BEHIND NOT AN EASY
SERVICE YOU KNOW THAT YOU HAVE
A LOT OF THE CHALLENGES AND
CERTAINLY ARE YOU PEOPLE
LETTING YOU AND PEOPLE SOME
LIKE SOME DON'T LIKE YOU VERY
MUCH THAT TRUMP THE OUTSIDE
PART OF THE JOB SO THANK YOU
AGAIN AND I WILL BE SUPPORTING
YOUNG OP YOU WERE. APPOINTMENTS
THANK YOU THANK YOU SENATOR
BATES I'M GONNA START WITH YOU
MR MAJORITY LEADER. THANK YOU
MADAM CHAIR ON. I WOULD AGREE
WITH MICHAEL- CENTER SAYING
IT'S NOT A EASY SIR LIFE YOU
ALL FOR- YOU WILLING JUST TO
STEP UP IN. A DOCTOR THORPE BY
INSPIRED BY YOUR COMMENT THAT
YOU LOVE BEING A DOCTOR. IT'S A
GOOD THING. WE'RE IN A
SITUATION WHERE YOU KNOW IN
CALIFORNIA IN THIS GREAT STATE
OF CALIFORNIA THERE'S ONLY A
HANDFUL OF US. THAT ARE ELECTED
TO CREATE THE LEGISLATURE IN A
SMALLER HANDFUL WHICH IN THE
EXECUTIVE BRANCH OF THE
CONSTITUTIONAL OFFICERS SO IN
ORDER TO RUN THIS GREAT STATE.
WE DELEGATE RESPONSIBILITY
WE'VE COME UP WITH A WAY TO
DELEGATE RESPONSIBILITY TO
FOLKS WHO WILL STEP UP. AND
FALLEN MOST INSTANCES LIKE YOU
ARE SUBSTANTIALLY VOLUNTEERING
YOUR TIME TO HELP US. TO HAVE
HAVE A LAYER BETWEEN. THE
GOVERNMENT AND- AND A GROUP OF
FOLKS THAT ARE EXPERTS THE
GREAT CHALLENGE THAT WE FACE
WITH RESPECT THE DEPARTMENT
CONSUMER AFFAIRS. AND THE
CHALLENGE THAT WE FACE WITH
YOUR BOARD AND WHETHER IT'S-
ARCHITECTURE PHARMACISTS OR
WHATEVER. IT IS THAT- WE WERE
TRYING TO AS WAS INDICATED- TO
OFFER SOME LEVEL OF CONSUMER
PROTECTION. THERE'S A TENSION
THAT EXISTS BETWEEN GETTING THE
EXPERTISE ON THE ONE HAND EACH
OF YOUR EXPERTS IN YOUR FIELD.
AND THE BALANCE WHERE IT'S NOT
PROTECTIONISM OF THE INDUSTRY
OR THE PROFESSION AND HAS A
LEVEL OF SENSITIVITY. TO THE
CONSUMERS. AND SO THE REASON I
THINK THAT SENATOR BATES TALKED
ABOUT HER IT'S NOT EASY SERVE
BECAUSE IN THIS AREA OF PUBLIC
POLICY IS QUITE DIFFICULT. I
HAVE A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS IN
THAT REGARD. KERN IN TERMS OF
PROTECTING CONSUMERS. AS WE DO
WITH THAT DELICATE BALANCE
WHICH IS SO IMPORTANT TO US
WHICH ARE JUST A HANDFUL OF
ELECTED FOLKS. WHO ARE THE ONES
WHO ARE ULTIMATELY RESPONSIBLE
TO THE PUBLIC- AND WE DELEGATE
THAT AUTHORITY YOU. AND I WANNA
START WITH A- DOCTOR. UGH GOING
INTO THAT DAY HAVE- WHO'S BEEN
ON THE BOARD FOR TEN YEARS. I'M
INFORMED. THAT THE AVERAGE.
TIME FROM THE RECIPIENT OF A
COMPLAINT. FROM A DOCTOR
THROUGH THE INVESTIGATION TO
THE ISSUANCE OF FORMAL
DISCIPLINE. IS NINE HUNDRED
DAYS. THE UNDERSTAND THEIR
SERIES OF EXCUSES AND PROCESS
SEASON COMPLEXITIES I SERVED ON
THE BOARD OF PHARMACY SOME
THIRTY FIVE YEARS AGO. YOU HAVE
THE ATTORNEY GENERAL WILL
DETERMINE GENERAL'S A LAWYER
AND I UNDERSTAND SOME OF THOSE
CHALLENGES. BUT HERE YOU BEEN
ON THIS BOARD FOR TEN YEARS
SAID YOUR TESTIMONY. AND I
WANNA GET YOUR THOUGHTS AS TO
WHY THAT'S THE CASE THIS
CERTAINLY IS A SAID YOU IN THE
INTERVIEW HAVING A PATIENT
WAITING IN YOUR WAITING ROOM
FOR NINE- DAYS WOULD NOT BE
DEEMED AS SATISFACTORY
EXPERIENCE. WE NEED TO HAVE
TRUST IN THE GOVERNMENT WE NEED
TO HAVE THE PUBLIC HAVE TRUST
IN OUR PROCESS AND WHEN
SOMETHING TAKES SO LONG IT
CERTAINLY RAISES THE QUESTION
ABOUT WHAT'S GOING ON SO
QUESTION IS YOUR THOUGHTS ABOUT
WHAT'S GONE BEFORE. AND ALSO IF
YOU SEE ANY ROAD MAPS FORWARD
TO SHORTEN THAT TIME SO WE CAN
BE MORE RESPECTFUL TO N. AND
RESPONSIVE. TO THE PEOPLE THAT
WE ALL REPRESENT. SO THAT WORK
TO THE DOCTOR GOING ON AT. THE
GENERAL YEAH BY. YEAH HE'S BEEN.
FOR HIS ORDERS FOR VERY I AGREE
YOUR DAD I GIVEN LIKE MY
CHRISTIAN GREY MY VERY RULES
NINE. A CREATED BY STEVE
SOMEBODY JUST THEY CAN BE BE
SEEN. SO YOU USE ON A ON THERE
ARE NOW EVEN THOUGH ARE NOT
GROWN UP ALL THE SNOW 470% THE
COMPANY THAT WITHIN BODIES ALL
WITHIN. ONE YEAR. I KNOW YOU
YOU. COMPLY AND LEGAL CASE THE
PERSON OF CASES FROM. SIXTY
SEVENTEEN SO. EIGHTEEN NINETY
SIX FOR FEW DAYS 18% COOPER.
EARNED SEVENTY NAY IT'S FIVE
POINT. EIGHT FOR. I'M BEATING
EASTERN NINE PERSON SO DO HAVE
A FROM- LIKE. NOT NINE HUNDRED
DAYS BUT- IT'S COMPLEX FRAUD-
WILL FROM THE MANY COMES. TO H.
Q. YOU DID YOU SAW. COULD BE
OPERATED SO TURNING THIS- THE-
I KNOW I SHOULD LARGER THEIR
MARKET. SO FOR EXAMPLE PROCESS
WHICH GO THROUGH AND WE ARE.
GOING TO LOOKING HOW DO YOU
IMPROVE. THIS YOU BE LOOKING
BACK TO WHEREAS SO THINGS- TO
MAKE THE PROCESS AGENTS ONE OF
WE. BURGER BAKER AS AND-
BEDROOM AND WILL YOU BETWEEN
EXTREME ON MY OR SO THAT CAN
MOVE. ATTRIBUTES HI LEVEL THE
FUN FOR. ALL AND GO- DO YOU FOR
AND THE HE AND PHYSICIAN DOES
NOT. ADDRESS FOR TO THE MEDICAL
RIGHT IN TIME AND THOUSAND.
THOUSAND PER DAY FOR ALL TO TEN
DOLLARS ALSO ASKING THE COST
REIMBURSEMENT SO THERE IS A
COST REIMBURSEMENT THE
ATTORNEYS DON'T. TO REALLY TAKE
THESE CASES SO WE'RE ASKING A
LOT OF THINGS WE NEED YOUR
HELP. OUR GOAL IS TO SHORTEN
YOUR. AS AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE.
THANK YOU SIR A MANAGER FORMER
CO PLAY YEAH WAS GOING TO ASK
THE ISSUE BUT THE OPEN BUT I
THINK THAT'S PROPERLY ANSWERED
I THIS IS BASE. FOR BUT THIS IS
TOO DARK THORPE. A TOOTH. SO
CALIFORNIA. BUREAU'S OF THAT
LATINO AND AFRICAN AMERICAN
DOCTORS ARE MORE LIKELY TO HAVE
COMPLAINTS INVESTIGATIONS AND
DISCIPLINARY ACTIONS AGAINST
THEM. HOW ARE YOU OR HOW'S THE
BOARD. ENSURING THAT AFRICAN
AMERICAN AND LATINO DOCTORS ARE
NOT BEING UNAIRLY PUNISHED IN
THIS PROCESS AND I KNOW. THE
DISTANCE IN THE BILL IMPLICIT
BIAS TRAINING IT WAS REFERENCE
TO THE QUESTION. BUT IF YOU CAN
DRILL A LITTLE DEEPER ON THAT
TO BE ABLE TO GIVE US
CONFIDENCE. THAT THE PROCESS IS
FAIR. THANK YOU DOCTOR. THANK
YOUCENTERS WERE. YES BEEN ON
THE BOARD FOR- EIGHTEEN MONTHS
IT SEEMS SHORTER THAN THAT
SOMEHOW BUT- THAT'S WHAT IT'S
ABOUT. AND YOU KNOW IS PART OF
THAT INITIATION PART OF THAT-
TRAINING TO BE ON THE BOARD-
IMPLICIT BIAS TRAINING WAS PART
OF THAT- BEFORE. YOU KNOW
BEFORE WE COULD PROCEED WITH
THE- THE OLD RECALL OF COURSE-
WE GOT A BAD COLD IDEA OF BOARD
TRAINING ON IMPLICIT BIAS
OCCURRED BECAUSE OF THE
PRESIDENT THE EAGLES STATE
MEDICAL ASSOCIATION EIGHT
ASSOCIATION OF. PHYSICIANS OF
COLOR- CAME TO US AND SAID LOOK
THERE'S A WE'RE CONCERNED ABOUT
THIS AND WE LISTEN TO HER AND
WE DON'T HAVE. TAKEN OUT A
COUPLE OF THINGS THAT WOULD BE
A CLUE TO THE REVIEWERS AS TO
WHAT THE BACKGROUND OF THE
PHYSICIAN IS- SUCH AS THEIR WE
DON'T LIST OF PEOPLE SCHOOL
ANYMORE OR THE TRAINING
PROGRAMS OF THE WARRANT BEFORE
OR DID THE TRADE PROGRAMS THEY
WORK THE CDVA. PART THANKS SO I
THINK THE A- THE OF PEOPLE
THERE ARE THE BOARD. CURRENTLY
ARE. FOCUSED ON THE IDEA OF.
EQUANIMITY AND EQUALITY IN
TERMS OF NOT DISADVANTAGING ANY.
ANYONE FOR THAT MATTER TO YOU
WHETHER IT'S PHYSICIAN OR
PATIENT FOR THAT MATTER BUT- I
THINK THERE IS- YOU KNOW
THERE'S ALWAYS MORE WE CAN DO
OF COURSE- BUT CERTAINLY WE
WANT TO BE OPEN TO ANY ANY
OPPORTUNITIES WE HAVE BUT I DO
BELIEVE THAT THE THAT THERE IS
A REAL FOCUS ON ON TRYING TO.
ENSURE THAT- DECISIONS OF COLOR
NOT ON. OUR INAPPROPRIATE LEAD-
DISCIPLINED THANK YOU SO MUCH.
IS THAT ALL ARE YOU SURE OKAY
BUT A LITTLE OKAY WE WOMEN
WOMEN RE DIRECT AFTER MR VICE
CHAIRMAN. THANK YOU MAYOR PRO
TEM AND I WANT TO COMMEND YOU
SENATOR HERTZBERG HAS QUITE
ELOQUENT. LAYING OUT JUST HOW
DIFFICULT THESE JOBS ARE- SO WE
WANT TO CONGRATULATE ALL THREE
OF YOU ON YOUR APPOINTMENT- I
JUST I JUST I HAVE ACTUALLY A
FEW QUESTIONS SO- BACK IN
DECEMBER AND IT IS VERY
DIFFICULT. ZOOM CALL WITH THE
COUPLE FROM MY DISTRICT WHO
LOST A CHILD AND ULTIMATELY
ENDED UP FILING A COMPLAINT
WITH THE WITH THE MEDICAL BOARD
NO NO I CAN GO TO A LOT OF
DETAILS HERE BECAUSE I KNOW
LATER IN THIS YEAR WE'RE HAVING
SUNSET REVIEW THE MEDICAL BOARD
MAYBE- I WILL DO IT AT THAT
TIME. BUT I DO WANT TO RAISE A
NUMBER OF. QUESTIONS AND BASED
UPON THAT CONVERSATION AND LIKE
TO GET YOUR GUISES RESPONSE.
THE FIRST ONE HOW CAN THE BOARD
IMPROVE THE COMPLAINT PROCESS
TO ALLOW FOR REAL TIME STATUS
UPDATES OF THE COMPLAINT. AND
PROVIDE A PRIMARY CONTACT ALONG
WITH CONTACT INFORMATION. I
DON'T I DON'T SEE A WHOEVER
WANTS TO. I DON'T MIND HERE
FROM ALL THREE TO BE HONEST
WITH YOU BUT YOU KNOW I KNOW
THIS TIME TIME CONCERNED SO
MAYBE. ONE OF YOU TAKE THAT ONE
WOULD BE GREAT MISTER MAHMOUD
LOOKS LIKE HE'S- RECORD ONE
BECAUSE I DON'T OF WORK OUT OF
THEM OTHER THINGS- THAT IS A
REAL CONCERN THAT'S WHAT I SAID
IN MY OPENING STATEMENT TO AND
THAT IS. FOLLOWED RELAUNCH
CONCERN ON THE BEHALF OF THE
MONTH. AND WE NEED TO DO MORE
WORK ALTHOUGH WE HAVE AN
IMPROVING. EDUCATE PEOPLE
EDUCATE CONSUMERS CALIFORNIANS.
IF THERE'S A PROBLEM IF THERE'S
AN ISSUE HOW QUICKLY THEY CAN
REACH. OUT TO BOARD. AND THIS
SHOULDBE IN THE SYSTEM I THINK
IS A SYSTEM IN PLACE BUT I
THINK RESPONSE TIMES SLOWER.
HOW QUICKLY BOARD CAN WORK ON
THAT COMPLAIN OF RIGHT THIS
SHOULD BE A TIME LIMIT. THAT
BOARD GET BACK FOR THE FAMILY.
UNEXPECTED THE CONSUMER. HARPER
THAT NUMBER IS. AND THAT THE
SHOULD HAVE READ YOU MENTION
YOU'RE PROFITABLY LIVE UP IT
MEANS THAT ON A WEEKLY ON A- BI
WEEKLY BASIS GIVEN THE UPDATE
WHAT IS HAPPENING WHEN WE GOT.
THAT WOULD NOT ONLY SATISFY THE
CONSUMER THAT IS ALSO IS GOING
TO INCREASE THE TRUST IN THE
CONSUMER YES THE SYSTEM IS
WORKING PEOPLE ARE WORKING AND
ARE ALSO ALERTED THE BOARD
MEMBERS. AND THEY WILL KEEP AN
EYE ON THE THING YES AND ALSO
STAFF OF THE BOARD I THINK STEP
INSTRUMENT AS A VITAL TO
CONSTITUTIONAL BOARDING GREAT
BUT DO NEED TO STAY ON ALERT

BROTHER SISTER MOTHER FATHER
SON OR DAUGHTER OF A NEIGHBOR.
HAD JUST MISSED HAVE HAPPENED
AND WE'RE NOT GETTING AND IF WE
WILL WAIT FOR MONTHS AND YEARS.
SOMEBODY MIGHT HAVE A SEAT
ANSWER SO WE NEED TO REALLY GET
MORE RELAXED AND- MEANS THERE
SHOULD BE NO TIME FOR YOUR SET
ON BACK AND- MY PLAN IS TO. AND
REALLY IT JUST MEETING OUR NEXT
MEETING OF THE BOARD TO MOVEUP
THIS THING AND I HAVE SOME
HOMEWORK DONE AND- IT- BEING
ILLEGAL A- SAN. PROCESS IN BURN
SO. PEOPLE HAVE TRUST IN BOOK.
THANK YOU. FOR YOUR COMMENTS
WILL TO ON ON THE- YOU KNOW
THAT THE- IS VERY TO THE
PROCESS IS SO. THERE'S A LOT OF
THINGS THAT THE MEDICAL BOARD
STAFF DON'T HAVE ANY CONTROL
OVER- THEY DON'T REALLY HAVE
ANY CONTROL OR ANY UPDATES FROM
EACH YOU ARE YOU WHO'S DOING
THE INVESTIGATION THEY THEY
DON'T ALWAYS HAVE UP TODAY
REPORTS ON WHAT. THE THE
ATTORNEY GENERAL'S OFFICE IS
DOING- IF IT GOES TO THE
MINISTRY OF LAW JUDGE THEN
THAT'S EVEN MORE SO. EVEN
THOUGH WE WERE WE CAN BE VERY
TRANSPARENT ABOUT UPDATING FROM
OUR STAFF AND HAVING A CONTACT
PERSON THE STAFF TO UPDATE. THE
COMPLAINT. IT IT MADE BE VERY.
BECAUSE A LOT OF WE DON'T WE
DON'T KNOW OURSELVES WHAT'S
HAPPENING WITH THAT COMPLAINT
AND WOULD HAVE TO. YOU KNOW SO
WE I THINK BUILDING IN ABOUT
MORE INTEGRATED- WORKING
RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THESE
DEPARTMENTS AT THE MEDICAL
BOARD DEPENDS ON. BUT DOESN'T
REALLY HAVE ANY ADMINISTRATIVE
CONTROL OVER ISN'T IT A
SIGNIFICANT PART OF
STREAMLINING THIS PROCESS. AND
THAT MAY BE TRUE BUT I THINK
EVEN GETTING BACK TO THE FAMILY
SAYING WE DON'T HAVE AN UPDATE
THIS WEEK I THINK I THINK WOULD
BE HELPFUL IN TERMS OF-
BUILDING CONFIDENCE AND TRUST.
SO THIS IS FOR DOCTOR COULD NOT
ADD- WANT TO FOLLOW UP ON- WANT
TO SENATOR HERTZBERG'S QUESTION
SO- HE ASKED YOU ABOUT THE TIME
LINE AND I FEEL LIKE YOU'VE

TERMS OF COMMUNICATIONS FOR THE
INVESTIGATIONS- THE COUPLE THAT.
I MET WITH- THERE V. VICTIMS
THIS AND THEY WERE NEVER
INTERVIEWED AT ALL REGARDING
THE SUBMITTAL THE COMPLAINT. IS
THAT IS THAT STANDARD PROCEDURE
NOT YET DOT INTERVIEW THOSE AT
A FILE AND IT AND IF AND IF SO
WHY- THANK YOU FOR ASKING- NO

INVOLVED IN ANY KIND OF SEXUAL
MISCONDUCT OR WERE USING ANY
KIND OF- SOLUTIONS AN
INAPPROPRIATELY- IT IS
PHYSICALLY IN THOSE CASES WERE
THESE WERE THOUGHT IT FELT TO
BE SIGNIFICANT POTENTIAL HARM
FOR PATIENTS. IF THEY WISH THEY
WOULD HAVE KNOWN THAT THEY
MIGHT THEY WOULD CERTAINLY
CHOSE ANOTHER DOCTOR- I THANK I
DO. YOU KNOW I UNDERSTAND WHERE
YOU'RE COMING FROM WITH THIS HI
I AM A LITTLE BIT CONCERNED
ABOUT THE UNINTENDED
CONSEQUENCES OF. REQUIRING
EVERY PROBATIONARY DR TO BE
COMMITTED TO THE AFTER DEATH
DISCLOSE ACT TO THEIR- TO THEIR
PATIENTS NOT THAT I HATE NOT
THE PATIENT SHOULD HAVE THE
ACCESS THEY DO IF THEY GO ON
THE MEDICAL MORE WEBSITE THAT'S
CLEARLY OUTLINED IN THE MEDICAL
OR WEBSITE- BUT UP FRONT WHEN
SOMEBODY IS- ACTUALLY
ESTABLISHING A RELATIONSHIP
WITH YOU. IT IS VERY CHILLING.
WHO TO SOME PEOPLE- TO SEE WHAT
WHAT'S WHAT'S GOING ON WATER
WHAT'S YOUR PROBATION ABOUT I'M
NOT SAYING THAT IT'S NOT A- BAD
IDEA THAT SHOULD BE CONSIDERED
WHAT I AM SAYING I THINK WE'VE

OTHER TWO. AND THEN I'M DONE AT
THAT POINT IN APPROACH AND
THAT'S FINE DR YES GO AHEAD-
THANK YOU FOR REAL SO WE
ACTUALLY WE WORKED QUITE GOOD
BASED ON NATION'S NOTIFICATION
FROM THE PROBATIONARY POSITION
STATE SENATOR HILL AND THE
ASSEMBLY HERE AND HE DID REALLY
COME OFF THE. DISTRIBUTION
WHICH IS. THE GROUP TRANCERS
ACTUALLY DOCTOR TO GET THEM ON
ALL ORDERS TELL THEM WHAT OF
ALL. FOR THE REST OF THE
PROGRAM IS ALREADY ON LIST. AND
READ THE ORDER. WHICH VERSION
CAN GET A- VACANCY THE DOCTORS
RIGHT THERE WE ARE GOING CAN GO
VISION ACTUALLY ELEGANT. DURING
THE DOWNLOAD THE APP ON GOOGLE
CURRENCY. AFTER ADEQUATE

AIM TOOL WORK ON. ONLY A THINK
ABOUT THIRTEEN HOUSING A
SEVENTY THOUSAND IN THE END IF
HAVE DOWNLOADED GAS FOG SO OF
FIFTY TO SEVENTY POLITICS ARE
OF FORTY MILLION PEOPLE IN THE
SMALL SO WE NEED TO MORE PEOPLE
MAYBE IN A DOCTOR'S OFFICE
WHICH OR SOMETHING THAT OKAY
THERE'S MOBILE APP AVAILABLE
CAN GET THE INFO NOT OF PEOPLE
DON'T TO COME TO A LOT OF
PEOPLE DON'T KNOW TO. BUT IN
EVERY HAS ONE NOW SO THEY CAN
GET FROM THE MOBILE APP AND
THAT WOULD BE LOT EASIER TO BE
FISHING IS DRIVING A FINDING A
NEW DOCTOR THEY CAN GET ALL THE
ACCESS AND- CALIFORNIA IS ON
THE FOREFRONT TO MAKE OR WHY
DOES WHO ARE COMMITTING BIGGER
CRIMES. LIKE SEXUAL HARASSMENT
LIKE. IT'S JUST NEWS. AND DOES
WHO. IN SOME VIDEO THAT'S- DATA
NOT SUPPOSED TO. NOTIFY THE
THAT. AND- I EVERYTHING IS ON
THE ROPES- IF BAY IF THAT CAN
PROMOTED- THEN WE CAN TO THE
NEXT STEP THE BOB NORTHEAST BE
DONE I AM A PLUG TRUSTED.
EVERYBODY WHO WANTS TO COME SEE
A DOCTOR HONESTLY THAT IS THE
MOST SEGREGATION STRIP AND
PATIENTS SHOULD KNOW EVERYTHING
ABOUT DR NOT ABOUT HIS PRIVATE
LIFE BUT ABOUT WHAT HE'S DOING
PROFESSIONALLY AND WHAT HE HAD
DONE IN THE PAST AND BECAUSE
THEY HAVE A LIFE AND DEATH.
HELLO MY NAME DENIS THEY HAVE
ALL THE RIGHT TO GO OVER THERE
AND I'M FIVE EIGHT IT. WAS THAT
WE CAN ACHIEVE WE CAN WE WANT
THE NEXT STEP BUT IF WE CAN
ACHIEVE THE ONE WHICH IS VERY
EASY YOU WANT THE MORE DETAILS
I THINK WOULD BE HARDER THE
FIRST ONE THE ONE WHICH WHEN
YOU TRY TO PUSH AND- ASSEMBLY
GRAHAM EVERY SHARE ANSWER THANK
YOU ALL FOR YOUR WILLINGNESS TO
SERVE AND TAKING THAT APPROACH
AND FOR THE OPPORTUNITY. THANK.
YOU VERY MUCH- CENTER LAYERED.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH MA'AM
CHAIR. AND THANK TO THE THREE.
FOR BEING TODAY AND WILLING TO
SERVE. WE HAVE IN FRONT OF A
THREE VACANCIES TODAY AND
THEY'RE ALL AND PHYSICIAN
CATEGORIES. AND THEN THERE ARE
THREE ACTUAL VACNCIES AND
THEY'RE ALL OF THE PUBLIC
CATEGORY AND I JUST WANT TO
NOTE THAT THE GOVERNOR FIELD
ONE OF FROM YESTERDAY AT AND
THAT'S GREAT PROGRESS AND JUST
WE SHOULD ACKNOWLEDGE THAT
EVERYBODY HAS THEIR ROLE
PLIGHT. OF BASED ON THEIR
CATEGORY BUT I THINK MY
COLLEAGUES HAVE DONE A GREAT
JOB AT THE GRANULAR LEVEL
WHETHER IT'S OPIOIDS OR
DIVERSITY. OR RESPONSE TIME AND
I THINK I WOULD LIKE O ASK
EACH OF YOU A MORE GLOBAL
QUESTION THAT PULLS IT ALL
TOGETHER WHICH IS THAT I THINK
THERE'S THE CONCERN. THAT THE
MEDICAL BOARD HAS TO BE AN
HONEST BROKER THAT IS NOT
CAPTURED IN SOME WAY BY THE
INDUSTRY. AND SO HOW WOULD EACH
OF YOU SPEAK TO THAT CONCERN
AND HOW YOU WOULD ARGUE THAT
THAT'S NOT THE CASE WITH REGARD
TO YOUR SERVICE TO YOUR
POTENTIAL SERVICE AND I DON'T
I'M SORRY MADAM CHAIR I DON'T
KNOW WHAT ORDER WILL GO AGAIN
RIGHT NOW DR THORPE DO YOU WANT
TO. GO AHEAD AND START AND THEN
WE'LL GO TO DR- AGAIN. IDEA OF
AND DOCTOR MOVE. THANK YOU
MATTER- I WOULD SAY THAT THE
NEW YORK A I HEALTH HAD ON YOU
KNOW TO MY CAREER I'VE BEEN
ACTIVE IN THE CALIFORNIA
MEDICAL ASSOCIATION IS LOW I
I'M I'M PROUD OF MY CAREER
THERE I'VE DONE IT I'VE DONE A
GREAT JOB IN MANY WAYS THEY'RE
PROMOTING PATIENT SAFETY IN
THAT. POSITION AS WELL BUT I
THE IDEA THAT SOMEHOW. I AM NOW
A WHOLE- FOREVER YOU KNOW KIND
OF. UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF THE
CALIFORNIA MEDICAL ASSOCIATION.
IS NOT- NOT TRUE HEY DON'T TALK
TO THEM REGULARLY AND THEY
DON'T TALK TO ME REGULARLY. AND
MY HE- MY ROLE IS AS AN
ADVOCATE FOR CONSUMERS IT IS
REALLY TIED WITH MY ROLE AS A
PRIMARY CARE DOCTOR. AND MY
ETHICS AS A PRIMARY CARE DOCTOR
IS NOT MY HAY. IS NOT BECAUSE
I'M JUST EIGHTY YOU KNOW I I'M
A- I'M A DOCTOR I'M GONNA- I
MEAN I'VE BEEN INVOLVED IN. IN
HOSPITAL PEER REVIEW SINCE THE
TIME I ARE HERE IN FOR THE LAST
THREE EIGHT YEARS PROBABLY

A LEADER- MEDICAL GROUP AS A-
MEDICAL DIRECTOR ROLE HEALTH
CLINIC THERE ARE. THAT ARISE.
AND YES EVEN CMA THEIR PROBLEMS
ARISE AND HAVING THOSE
CONVERSATIONS WAS. ORDERED

BETWEEN. LOBBYING FOR A BILL
AND ACTUALLY ADVOCATING FOR
CONSUMERS. TODAY AND THUS WHERE
I WOULD SEE THE DIFFERENCES I.
I CAN TELL YOU THAT MY AGE MY
FOCUS IS ON SERVING THE MEDICAL
WARD. AND ITS ITS PRIORITIES

THANK YOU THANK YOU MADAM CHAIR
APPRECIATE THE ANSWERS TO THAT
QUESTION THANK YOU VERY MUCH I
APPRECIATE VERY MUCH MY
COLLEAGUES IN THE QUESTIONS
THAT THEY'VE ANSWERED- I THINK
THIS IS- A REALLY IMPORTANT
DISCUSSION- YOU KNOW I READ ALL
OF THE LETTERS THAT WE RECEIVED
IN SUPPORT AND THE OBVIOUSLY
THE- OPPOSITION AND THE SUPPORT
AND- NO DOUBT WHEN WE GO TO
PUBLIC. COMMENT WE'RE GOING TO
HEAR A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO ARE ON
THE PHONE OR HERE IN SUPPORT
AND WE'RE GOING TO HEAR
COMMENTS FROM PEOPLE WHO WERE
IN OPPOSITION. I THINK THE
RULES COMMITTEE HAD A LITTLE
BIT OF A PREVIEW OF THAT WHEN
WE TOOK UP THE APPOINTMENT OF
THE- I DIRECTOR OF THE
DEPARTMENT OF CONSUMER AFFAIRS
BECAUSE- THAT DIRECTORS OF
FORMER. EXECUTIVE TO THE
MEDICAL BOARD SO WE HAD A
PREVIEW OF SOME OF THE CONCERNS
WHICH IS PROBABLY THE NATURE OF
THE CONVERSATION TODAY. I GUESS
AND I THINK I WAS GONNA.
BASICALLY I ASK YOU ABOUT THE
BALANCE OF- THE PRIMARY MISSION
OF THE MEDICAL BOARD. FIVE AND
HOW YOU BALANCE THAT WITH- YOUR
JOB AS PHYSICIANS ARE AND YOU
HAVE TO LOOK AT THE- YOUR PEERS
WHO MAY END UP BEFORE YOU IN
TERMS OF SOME OF THE COMPLAINTS
BUT I THINK MY COLLEAGUES HAVE
ASK OUR- A GOOD NUMBER OF
QUESTIONS ABOUT THAT. WHAT I
WOULD ASK YOU IS DO YOU FEEL
LIKE YOU ACTUALLY HAVE THE
RESOURCES YOU NEED TO DO
APPROPRIATE INVESTIGATIONS WHEN
I LOOK AT- THE RUN DOWN I'VE
BEEN AND TO MY COLLEAGUE THE
MAJORITY LEADER'S QUESTION
ABOUT THE NUMBER OF DAYS AND-
AND HOW LONG IT TAKES TO
INVESTIGATE DO YOU FEEL LIKE
THE BOARD HAS. ADEQUATE
RESOURCES FOR THE EXPERTISE IN
LEVEL OF SKILL OF YOUR
INVESTIGATORS AND THEN- AS
THOSE CASES PROCEED FORWARD I
TAKE- GIVE OR TAKE I WILL TRY
TO LOOK AT SOME OF THE NUMBERS.
AB ELEVEN THOUSAND OR SO
COMPLAINTS YOU OVERSEE THE
LICENSES OF MORE THAN A HUNDRED
SIXTY THOUSAND. POSITIONS AND
WHEN YOU LOOK AT THOSE
COMPLAINTS HOW THEY PERCEIVE
THROUGH THE SYSTEM YOU REALLY
DON'T SEE A LOT OF THOSE UNTIL
UNTIL THEY REACH A LEVEL THAT
THEY COME. TO YOUR PANELS- DO
YOU FEEL LIKE THAT THE BOARD
HAS THE- EXPERTISE TO BE ABLE
TO ADEQUATELY. HAVE THE
INVESTIGATIONS- BE DONE
THOROUGHLY WHEN YOU SEE THOSE
CASES COME BEFORE YOU UP
AGAINST MAYBE. MEDICAL EXPERTS
OF THE DEFENDANTS WHO COME
BEFORE YOU CAN YOU JUST EACH OF
YOU AND I'LL START WITH YOU DR
THORPE. WELL ACTUALLY DR AGAIN
ON A DAY OF YOU HAVE BEEN ON
THE BOARD FOR TEN YEARS SO. LET
ME START WITH YOU- BECAUSE
YOU'VE BEEN THERE LONGER I
WOULD JUST ASK DO YOU FEEL LIKE
YOU HAVE ADEQUATE RESOURCES TO
DO THE KIND OF INVESTIGATION.
THROUGH TO THE ATTORNEY
GENERAL'S OFFICE. BEFORE THEY
COME TO YOU. ARE RUMORED CHAIR
OUR- RESOURCES FIRST WHEN I
DON'T TALK ABOUT WOULD BE THE
BILL'S. ARE WE ARE ASKING IN
THE SUNSET LEGISLATIVE PASSED
THE INCREASE THE DEALERS TO
SELL ON ONE THOUSAND ONE
HUNDRED FIFTY DOLLARS DOLLAR
LICENSE FEE GOING FROM SEVEN
EIGHTY THREE IT'S A SIGNIFICANT
INCREASE BUT OUR COST WENT UP
WITH BOTH H. P- YOU'LL AND- AND
DID YOU SELL WHOSE AGES OFFICE
WHEN THE BY 40% SO THERE IS A
SIGNIFICANT INCREASE IN THERE
SO WE DO WE DO WHEN OF THOSE.
TO THE SUNSET. CARE LEGISLATION
COMES FONG- AS FAR AS- THE PART
NAY ARE D. I. D. LEVEL. WE'RE
ALSO ASK. YOU TO HELP US TO.
ALL OF HOURS TO GET. B. R. RT
TH GRADE AND UP. DATES THESE
ARE BEING BY TRICKS IMPORTANT.
FOR OUR STAFF TO MAKE SURE THAT
THEY INFORM. ON A INFORMED THE-
ASIAN CENTER FOR. ARE GOING TO
COME STRAIGHT AMERICANS. I
THINK THIS IS RELATED STRATEGY
THE COMBINATION BOARD THEIR
YOUNG PHYSICIANS AND- PUBLIC
MEMBERS SO I QUITE A NUMBER OF
TIMES ARE YOU I EXPLAINED TO
PEOPLE AS- AS A TEACHER- FOR A
FORTY YEARS TRAINING GIRL
PEOPLE I CAN EXPLAIN. MAJORITY
OF THE CASES PROVIDED TO MY
FAMILY MEMBERS. ARE USUALLY.
MAJORITY OF THE TIME. I ALL
RIGHT ALONG WITH THE OTHER
FOODS ARE THE ONE WHO ARE PUSH
FOR DISCIPLINE. COMPARED TO OUR
DAILY JAY CAME UP WITH OUR
WATER STIPULATION OUR OWN STAFF
PROVIDED SO. LITTLE THAT WOULD
BIGGEST RESOURCE NEARLY AS OUR
NUMBER ONE IS OUT FINANCES
NUMBER TO USED IT WILL BE A
PART OF OUR STAFF TO GET THERE
AND GET. BORED BORED. IF YOU
KNOW YOUR NAY HE SOPHISTRY HE
SEEMS VERY BEING INVESTIGATION
IS ATTENDING YOUR PARTNER FIRM
ARTIFICIAL ROCKET SCIENCE
BECAUSE- IN THIS AGE RETIRED
THINGS. ARE CHRONIC. EVEN
THOUGH WE HAVE THE PERFECT
PRIVACY I THINK SHOULD BE ABLE
TO GET. THANK YOU DR THORPE LET
ME ASK YOU NEXT. THANK YOU. ON
DOG DOG HAS JUST HIT ON THE L.
THE THERE'S A REALLY THERE'S A
STRUCTURAL. WITH THE- STUFF OF
MOTHER WARD- WE- WELL THE- OUR
REACH IN TERMS OF REVENUE ARE
BASED ON LICENSING FEES AND WE
ARE SORT OF HELD CAPTIVE BY-
AGENCIES WE DON'T HAVE ANY
CONTROL OVER RECENTLY- I'M-
INTERESTING THE DIFFERENT
NOTCHING THAT ARE NOT
APPROPRIATE UNDERSTAND WE DON'T
HAVE ANY CONTROL OVER THE NEXT-
FEES FROM THE H. U. I. U. NH
AND THE INVESTIGATION UNIT. AT
ALSO FEATURE RETURNING
GENERAL'S OFFICE AND THAT IS-
YOU KNOW THERE'S A STRUCTURAL
DEFICIT RIGHT NOW WE WILL BE
BANKRUPT IN ABOUT EIGHTEEN
MONTHS AND WE ONLY HAVE A- TWO
MONTH- BY FOR REALLY. ALL RIGHT
NOW SO. THE MEDICAL BOARD. THEN
THERE IS A IN DEPTH NEED TO
INCREASE. BUT THERE ALSO NEEDS
TO BE SOME OTHER THINGS DONE
WITHIN THE STRUCTURE
FINANCIALLY OF THE BOARD SO
THAT THESE STRUCTURAL PROBLEMS
ARE ALLEVIATE IT AND- CALPERS
AND THAT THERE'S EIGHT THE
ABILITY OF THE MEDICAL BOARD TO
HAVE THE FINANCIAL RESOURCES
NEEDED TO COMPLETE TO CONTINUE
TO. PROVIDE GOOD QUALITY OF
INVESTIGATIONS AND DISCIPLINARY
ACTIONS YOU MENTIONED SOMETHING
ABOUT- OUR CONSULTANTS AND-
THERE IS I THINK IT'S A REAL
NEED TO ENCOURAGE- AREN'T. YOU
KNOW GOOD QUALITY DOCTORS TO BE
CONSULTANTS AND THE DIFFICULTY
IS THAT THERE'RE THEY ARE PAID
OF COURSE BUT IT'S NOT IT'S
VERY IT'S VERY YEAH HI AM SET.
TIME- IT'S VERY. IT DOES A LOT
OF GIVE ME SPENT IN REVIEWING.
IN WAITING FOR RECORDS COME AND
SO- BUT IN THE PROCESS OF
REVIEWING RECORDS REVIEWING THE
STANDARDS CARE THERE'S A LOT OF
WORK BEING DONE BY THE
CONSULTANTS AND- UNFORTUNATELY.
YOU KNOW WE WE'RE IT'S A IT'S A
VOLUNTARY POOL THERE'S NO
THERE'S NO MANDATE THAT PEOPLE%
HAVE TO BE CONSULTANTS- WITH A
LIMITED POOL TO DRAW FROM.
WOULD BE BETTER IF WE HADN'T
MORE CONSULTANTS THAT WE COULD.
DO WE COULD ACCESS YES WORK AND
POSSIBLY INCREASING THE
RESOURCES WILL- WILL ACCOMPLISH
THAT AS WELL BUT- I THINK THE
BIGGER ISSUES REALLY ARE
ADDRESSING THE STRUCTURAL.
PROBLEMS WITH THE WAY THE
FINANCES ARE ARE MADE- SET UP
IN THE MEDICAL BOARD UNDERSTOOD
DR MAHMOUD ANYTHING YOU WOULD
LIKE TO ADD TO WHAT. EITHER
HAVE SAID. WELL I THINK OF THE
BODY SOMETHING ONLY BECAUSE
THEY DAYS AND DOUBLE AND WEBER.
IF YOU'LL JUST SUMMER SIXTY
DAYS AND- INFUSING. AND COST
SHARE FROM THE RESPONDENTS
SPEND THAT THE CASE. WOULD BE
VERY HELPFUL- I WANTED TO COME
UP AND REALLY CORD PROBLEM IS
MONEY. YOU NEED TO HAVE
RESOURCES THAT THAT IS SOURCES
ARE BARRED BY A FINANCES. IF.
YOU HIDE IN INVEST. AND YOUR
OPINION SIR AMOUNT AND IF YOU
CAN- CANNOT KEEP IT DOCKED OF
THE- INDUSTRY. THAT
INVESTIGATORS. YOU'RE DOING
LEARN THINGS ON YOU. AND THEN
YOU HAVE TO START FROM THE NEW
PERSON IF YOU KEEP THEM AT IT.
CERTAINLY THEY WERE NOT. ANY
REST WHO DOING HIS JOB AND PLUS
A YEAR IF IS THERE A THIRD YEAR
IS WOULD BE LOCKED OUT OF. AND
RELIABLE QUALITY. PAINTING THAT
YOU HAVE EXPERT OPINIONS
MEDICAL VOTE AGAINST US BUT
WHEN HE AND A- LOWER LEVEL OF
COST MADE AS DEFENDANT ON THE
SPOT IS GOING TO COST. FIVE
TIMES AND OBVIOUSLY THOSE
PEOPLE ARE GOING TO BE SPENDING
A LOT THAT'S WHY
SOMEBODY WILL LOSE IT YES IT'S-
STILL REALLY BOTTOM LINE IS.
MORE RESOURCES AND FINANCIAL
RESOURCES EVERYTHING ELSE CAN
BE ADDRESSED IF WE CAN ADJUST
THAT AND I THINK OF. THIS IS A
READY TIMELY- ACTION BEING
COMING AND- SENSITIVE YOU WHICH
WILL COME TO YOU AND HOPEFULLY.
THAT WILL HELP US. DO SOME GOOD
RIGHT THANK YOU DR I WOULD
THINK- YOU KNOW IT WAS IN
TRYING TO GET TO. WHAT YOU'RE
HANDED AS A BOARD TO REVIEW
WHEN YOU ARE DEALING WITH AN
INVESTIGATION. MEDICAL EXPERTS
YOU CAN BE AT YOU KNOW IF THE
DEFENDANT HAS MORE RESOURCES-
YOU YOU'VE GOT AN IMBALANCE OF
A SITUATION THERE. BEFORE
SOMETHING IS PUT BEFORE YOU TO
MAKE A DETERMINATION YOU'RE-
YOU'RE GONNA I MEAN GRANTED
THAT'S THE BENEFIT. HAVE AT THE
SAME TIME IF YOU DON'T HAVE THE
RIGHT LEGAL EXPERTISE AN
INVESTIGATIVE RESOURCES- I
MEAN. YOU KNOW WE ALL FACE THAT
WHEN I WAS AT A CITY COUNCIL
AND WE HAD CLOSED SESSION TO
DEAL WITH LITIGATION. OUR CITY-ATTORNEYS WERE SOMETIMES OUT
MANEUVERED- AS I LOOK AT OUR
ATTORNEY. SO I I'M JUST I'M
JUST- YES AS TO WHETHER THERE
IS A FORM OF COST RECOVERY THAT
WOULD ALLOW YOU BETTER
EXPERTISE BUT I'LL LEAVE THAT
FOR A MINUTE AND JUST- ASK ONE
MORE QUESTION BEFORE WE GO TO
MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC AND WE
WILL TAKE A BREAK AT THAT POINT
SO THAT. OUR OUR STENOGRAPHER
CAN. LET HER FINGERS- RELAX A
BIT BUT- YOU HAVE AS A AS A
BODY INTERNAL GUIDELINES FOR
LEVELS OF DISCIPLINE. AND YOU
FOLLOW THOSE GUIDELINES SO
WHETHER YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT I
MEAN I ASSUME I'M GOING TO ASK
YOU ABOUT THAT. YOU HAVE
GUIDELINES FOR- THE TYPE OF
DISCIPLINARY ACTION YOU CAN
TAKE WHETHER SOMEONE IS ON.
PROBATION. FOR THREE FIVE SEVEN
I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOUR
GUIDELINES ARE BUT- HOW OFTEN
DO YOU- I MEAN DO YOU FOLLOW
GUIDELINES AS OUTLINED IN TERMS
OF DISCIPLINARY ACTION. OR DO
YOU HAVE THE ABILITY TO- CHANGE
AND GIVE A LESSER. DISCIPLINARY
ACTION OUTSIDE OF YOUR
GUIDELINES AND DO YOU HAVE A
SENSE OF HOW OFTEN YOU FOLLOW
THOSE GUIDELINES STRICTLY OR
WHETHER YOU. GIVE LESS OF A
DISCIPLINARY ACTION AND DR
MEHMOOD I WILL GO TO YOU FIRST
AND LET YOU START THIS TIME.
THANK YOU I THINK YOU'RE BROAD
DISPLAYING RIGHT IN THE
BEGINNING OF YOUR STATEMENT.
AND WHY WHACKED CHRISTIANS
BRING MORE TO THE BOARD THEN
OTHER PEOPLE BECAUSE
EVERYBODY'S HEALTHCARE. AND
SAME THING IS THE CASE WITH
THAT. ARM MANY TIMES IT HAPPENS
THAT PHYSICIANS BECAUSE MOST OF
THEM ARE PRACTICING AND THEY
KNOW THE PROBLEM EXACTLY AND
THEY ARE ABLE TO PLAY PLAY TO
THE KNEE LIKE MANY PLAY PLAY
MEANS THAT FIND OUT EXACTLY WHY
THIS HAPPENED A- LOT OF TIME WE
COME UP AND BRING YOUR QUESTION
WHY DOT FRESH MEN. ARE THAT IS
THE LAW WHY DOES I GO TO IS
LESS SHOULD BE BECAUSE THIS IS
A MEDICAL THING AND I DON'T
HAPPEN WHEN NOW YOU THINK THAT
THIS IS A NORMAL THING WHICH
HAPPENED NOT NORMAL THING BUT
THIS IS A COMMON THING WHICH
HAPPENED A COMMUNITY. AND IF
YOU START. DEMANDING PEOPLE.
BUT EVERY LITTLE THING THEN
THERE'LL BE A LOT OF PROBLEMS.
THE NEW. BUT IN OUR STATE IS
THAT CONSUMER PROTECTION IS THE
NUMBER ONE MISSION AND GOAL.
AND THE SECOND THING IS
PHYSICIAN ARE OR WHY DOES THE
HAVE ADDITION SHOULD BE IN OUR
MIND. AND SOMETIMES YOU CAN
PLAY A LITTLE BIT WITH THAT AND
YOU CAN COME UP WITH A BETTER
DECISION MOST THE TIME WHEN I
LOOK AT THAT I LOOK AT THE
GUIDELINES AND I TRIED TO
FOLLOW GUIDELINES SO THAT. I'M
NOT TOO MUCH BY ITS BUT
OBVIOUSLY OF BEING BOTH OF
THESE THINGS THAT IS THIS WHAT
IS HAPPENING IS UNUSUAL VERY
UNUSUAL IT IS THE- TALK OF THE
LANGUAGE AND THAT IS JUST AN
ALL UNINTENTIONAL ERROR RATE
SOMEBODY. DIDN'T GET HIRED
SOMEBODY DIDN'T GET NEARLY-
NINE DAMAGED BAG IS GETTING TO
THINK SO THANKS IN MY OPINION
THINGS READY BUT BECAUSE OF
YOUR MEDICAL KNOWLEDGE AND
BECAUSE OF THE ABILITY TO DO
YOU HAVE A STATE SOMETIME AND.
SOMETIME UNDERSTANDABLE. THANK
YOU I. YOUR WHOLE BECAUSE- NEXT
SEE WHAT I DO THANK YOU DOT
THORPE- YEAH I- SO WHAT I THINK
DOCTOR WHO IS SAID IT WHAT WE
KNOW WHAT ALL THAT- I THOUGHT I
WOULD SAY NINETY FIVE TO
NINETY. I WOULD BE A PROBABLY
95% MAYBE 98% OF THE TIME- THE
PANEL WILL FOLLOW THE
RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE- OR THE-
THE MINISTRY LAW JUDGE- YOU
KNOW BECAUSE THEY- THEY'RE MUCH
CLOSER TO THE CASE AND WE ARE
WE REVIEW EVERY CASE- IN DETAIL
BUT- GENERALLY YOU ARE WHEN IT
COMES RIGHT DOWN TO WE
RECOGNIZE THAT THAT'S- THEIR
EXPERTISE I THINK LOOKING BACK
ON I'M JUST LOOKING AT-
DOCUMENTS THAT. WERE PROVIDED
TO ME BY THE STAFF AND IN IN
TWENTY SIXTEEN TWENTY
SEVENTEEN- THIS IS PART OF THE
ADMINISTRATIVE LAW JUDGE CASES.
UNDER EIGHTY ONE DECISIONS THAT
WERE ADOPTED WITHOUT CHANGE UP
SIX DECISIONS THAT WERE- THE
PENALTY REDUCED IN SOME WAY AND
EIGHT TIMES AT THE BOARD VOTED
TO INCREASE THE PENALTY IN SOME
WAY- IN. IN TWENTY TWENTY THERE
WERE FORTY THREE ADMINISTRATIVE
LAW JUDGE ADOPTIONS WITHOUT
CHANGE. AND ONE EACH ONE OF THE
ADMINISTRATIVE LAW JUDGE
DECISIONS WAS. R. DECREASED AND
ONE OF THEM WAS INCREASED SO
IT'S- IT IS NOT VERY OFTEN THAT
WE THAT WE CHANGE IT BUT WE DO
HAVE WE DO FOLLOW THE DISHES
ARE GUIDELINES THAT ARE THAT
ARE ATTACHED TO EVERY CASE.
THANK YOU DOCTOR. DR CONNECTIVE
THERE ARE NONE OF YOUR LINES SO
ACTUALLY THERE AND I THINK I
COULD GO FOR FROM THE MOOD TO-
IS HERE TO STAY COMPLETELY
CLEARLY. WE DO FOLLOW THE
DISAPPOINTED I HAD DIED LAST
MOST OF THE TIME AND ENERGY-
BECAUSE HE USES YOUR JOURNEY
HERE SHE'S A DIRECTOR AND THEY

COME FROM TO EIGHT YOUR IS OPEN.
GOOD AFTERNOON THAT CHAIR OF
THE COMMITTEE MY NAME IS UNDER
AS AN I'M FROM THE AREA I'M
GONNA COUNTY. I WOULD LIKE TO
FIRST THANK SENATOR WILK FOR
SUPPORTING ME AND MY FAMILY- AS
WELL AS THE COMMITTEE FOR
HEARING US TODAY. I'M HERE
TODAY WITH MY HUSBAND ANTHONY
TO SPEAK ON BEHALF OF OUR
FAMILY TO OPPOSE THE
APPOINTMENT OF DOCTORS MOVED IN
ON A DEAD END TORQUE TO THE
MEDICAL BOARD. WE ARE VICTIMS
OF MEDICAL NEGLIGENCE. MORE
SPECIFICALLY OUR SEVENTEEN YEAR
OLD DAUGHTER JORDAN DIED IN TWO
THOUSAND EIGHTEEN. AS A RESULT
OF EGREGIOUS MEDICAL NEGLIGENCE.
THE CURRENT MEDICAL INJURY
COMPENSATION REFORM ACT OF
NINETEEN SEVENTY FIVE HAS
DEFINED OUR DAUGHTER'S LIFE AS
NOT WORTHY. AND OF HAVING NO
VALUE. THIS LAW DESPITE EFFORTS
HAS REMAINED UNCHANGED FOR OVER
FORTY FIVE YEARS WITH THE HELP
OF THE CALIFORNIA MEDICAL
ASSOCIATION. WHICH THESE
DOCTORS WERE MEMBERS- AND HAVE
CONTINUED TO FIGHT. JORDAN MORE
THAN JUST MISDIAGNOSED SHE
SUFFERED AT THE HANDS OF THE
MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS WE
TRUSTED TO HELP HER. THEY
FAILED THEY FAILED US AND MOST
IMPORTANTLY THEY FAIL JORDAN.
AN ENTIRE CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL
AND THEIR PROVIDERS IGNORED HER
SYMPTOMS. FOR TEST RESULTS AND
LACKED ANY COORDINATED CARE
BETWEEN SPECIALTIES WILL
CONTINUE TO PASS THE BUCK AND
PASS ALONG TO THE NEXT DOCTOR.
MOST OF THE TIME WITHOUT
DIRECTION DIAGNOSIS OR
TREATMENT. AND THE MEDICAL
BOARD DID NOTHING ABOUT IT
AFTER WE FILED COMPLAINTS. IN
OUR OPINION THE APPOINTEES
CONTRIBUTED TO THE SITUATION.
NO THEY WERE NOT INVOLVED IN
HER CARE DIRECTLY AS HE NEVER
TREATED JORDAN BUT THEY HAVE AS
LOBBYIST BOUGHT THE LAWS AND
THEIR FOUNDATION TO ALLOW US
THE ABILITY TO HOLD THOSE WERE
NEGLIGENT ACCOUNTABLE. AND AS
BOARD MEMBERS FAILED TO
INVESTIGATE COMPLAINTS. AS SUCH
WE BELIEVE THE CMA THE MEDICAL
BOARD AND THESE APPOINTEES
CONTRIBUTED TO THE LACK OF
ACCOUNTABILITY FOR
PROFESSIONALS WHO COMMIT
MEDICAL MALPRACTICE. ACTIVE OR
GREGIS NEGLIGENCE AND WE AT THE
PATIENTS OFFER. AFTER JORDAN
DIED WE FILED FORMAL COMPLAINTS
WITH THE MEDICAL BOARD TO DATE
NOT ONE INVESTIGATION HAS TAKEN
PLACE NOT ONE INTERVIEW WITH US
HAS TAKEN PLACE. ALL OF OUR
INVESTIGATIONS BUT ONE WERE
CLOSED WITHOUT ANY RESOLUTION
WITHOUT ANY COMMENTS. WITHOUT
ANY DISCUSSION. WE WERE ADVISED
THE MEDICAL BOARD WOULD LIKELY
NOT INVESTIGATE IF WE WERE IN
CIVIL LITIGATION WHICH WE HAVE
TO PAY FOR OUT OF OUR OWN
POCKET DUE TO THESE APPOINTEES
FIGHT AGAINST ANY ADJUSTMENTS
MICRO. EVERY COMPLAINT. THAT
WAS CLOSED WHAT WITH EXCEPTION
TO ONE THAT ONE I INCLUDED A
MEDICALLY CITED PAPER OUTLINING
OUR COMPLAINTS. NOBODY SHOULD
EVER HAVE TO DO THAT. WE DO
EXPECT THAT THIS COMPLAINT WILL
ALSO BE CLOSED. I WELCOME AND
ENCOURAGE EACH ONE OF THESE
APPOINTEES TO CONTACT ME VIA
SENATOR WORKSHOP IS THAT THEY
WISH TO DISCUSS. IN JANUARY TWO
THOUSAND TWENTY ONE. CBS NEWS
REPORTED ON AN EXCLUSIVE
INVESTIGATION INTO STATE
MEDICAL BOARDS WHICH FOUND THAT
STATE MEDICAL BOARDS
RESPONSIBLE FOR DISCIPLINING
DOCTORS. REPEATEDLY INJURED
THEIR PATIENTS OFTEN FAIL TO
DISCIPLINE THOSE SAME DOCTORS.
FOUR YEARS THESE IMPORTED
APPOINTEES FOUGHT TO ALLOW
PATIENTS HARMED BY MEDICAL
NEGLIGENCE TO OBTAIN JUSTICE IN
THE GLOBAL ARENA PROTECTING
PROVIDERS FROM ACCOUNTABILITY.
NOW THEY WILL SIT ON A MEDICAL
BOARD THAT INVESTIGATES LESS
THAN 2% OF COMPLAINTS SUBMITTED.
POLITICAL APPOINTEES TO THE
MEDICAL BOARD THE MEDICAL BOARD
CHARTER TO ENSURE PATIENT
SAFETY AND TO HOLD DOCTORS
ACCOUNTABLE IT'S A CONFLICT OF
INTEREST. ACTUALLY WHEN THOSE
APPOINTEES HAVE FOR THEIR YEARS
WITH THE CMA FOUGHT ALL
ATTEMPTS TO ALLOW THE PUBLIC TO
HOLD THESE PROVIDERS
ACCOUNTABLE. JORDAN'S IFE WAS
VALUABLE SHE IS WORTHY OF
JUSTICE. I NO LONGER TRUST THE
PROFESSION THE MEDICAL BOARD
NOR THESE APPOINTEES TO PROTECT
PATIENTS. OR TO REPRESENT
PATIENT SAFETY AS SUCH I
RESPECTFULLY ASK YOU TO OPPOSE
THE APPOINTMENT TO THE
CALIFORNIA MEDICAL BOARD OF
DIRECTORS SORT COULD NOT ADAPT
AND MAHMOUD. THANK YOU. THANK
YOU MA'AM- MADAME MODERATOR
NEXT WITNESS PLEASE. THANK YOU
MEDICAL FROM ONE OF THIRTY
THREE YOUR LINE IS OPEN. THANK
YOU MADAM CHAIR COMMITTEE
MEMBERS GOOD AFTERNOON AND
THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY
TO ADDRESS YOU TODAY REGARDING
MY OPPOSITION TO THE
APPOINTMENT OF DR RICHARD STARK
AND THE REAPPOINTMENT OF DOCTOR
GET DR GALGIANI DEATH TO THE
MEDICAL BOARD OF CALIFORNIA. MY
NAME IS TAMMY THANK I'M A BOARD
MEMBER WHAT CONSUMER WATCHDOG
AND I LOOK INTO MACULA
CALIFORNIA. THE MISSION OF THE
MEDICAL BOARD IT'S PATIENT
PROTECTION AND IT IS OUTRAGEOUS
THAT PAST PRESIDENT OF THE
CALIFORNIA MEDICAL ASSOCIATION.
A POLITICAL ORGANIZATION WITH A
LONG RECORD OF ACT. UP
OPPOSITION TO REASONABLE
PROVISION OVERSIGHT ARE EVEN
BEING CONSIDERED FOR THIS
CRITICAL PUBLIC SAFETY POSITION.
MY OPPOSITION TO BE THE POINT
VERY PERSONAL. I LOST MY TWENTY
YEAR OLD SON ALEX RADICAL
CHANGE WHILE IN A LAGUNA BEACH
HOSPITAL HIS DOCTOR ORDERED A
LETHAL COMBINATION OF
MEDICATIONS AND ORDERED THAT
ALEX IS VITAL ONLY BE CHECKED
WHILE HE WAS AWAKE. ALEX WAS
GIVEN THAT TALKS A COCKTAIL OF
DRUGS AND LYFT ON MONITORED FOR
MORE THAN SEVEN HOURS. HE WAS
FOUND DEAD DURING MORNING
ROUNDS AND HE WAS ALREADY IN
REGARD TO. I'M THINKING JUSTICE
AND ACCOUNTABILITY FOR MY SON'S
DEATH I TURNED TO THE COURT BUT
WAS DENIED ACCESS BECAUSE OF AN
OUTDATED LAW ENACTED IN
NINETEEN SEVENTY FIVE. SO I
TURNED TO THE MEDICAL BOARD
TRUSTING THEY WOULD STOP THIS
DANGEROUS DOCTOR FROM HARMING
ANOTHER PATIENT. MEDICAL BOARD
INVESTIGATORS AND ATTORNEYS
ATTORNEY GENERAL PROSECUTORS
RECOMMENDED REVOCATION OR
SUSPENSION OF THE DOCTOR'S
LICENSE. HOWEVER AFTER A FOUR
YEAR COMPLAINT PROCESS A DEAL
WAS MADE WITH THE BOARD AND THE
DOCTOR WAS LET OFF WITH A
PUBLIC REPRIMAND A SLAP ON THE
WRIST. ONE VIOLATED MEDICAL
BOARD GUIDELINES AND TOOK PLACE
UNDER THE PRESIDENCY OF DR
DALLAS THE MONITOR OF. EMILY
LIKE MINE DESERVE A MEDICAL
BOARD WE CONTRAST TO FULFILL
THE BOARD'S MISSION OF PATIENTS
PROTECTION WE DO NOT NEED A
BOARD DRIVEN BY THE CMA WHO
WOULD RATHER PROTECT DANGERS
DOCTORS AND PROTECT PATIENTS.
CURRENTLY THERE IS NO DETERRENT
FOR A DOCTOR'S NEGLIGENCE
EITHER IN THE PARK OR BY THE
MEDICAL BOARD BUT I AM LOOKING
FORWARD TO THE FAIRNESS AFTER
ON THE TWENTY TWENTY TO BALLOTS
WHICH WILL UPDATE THE CAP ON
MEDICAL NEGLIGENCE CASES AND
HELPFUL DOCTORS TO ACCOUNT.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR
TIME. THANK YOU VERY MUCH- NEXT
WITNESS. THANK YOU MEDICAL FROM
NINE THIRTY EIGHT YOUR LINE IS
OPEN. HI MY NAME IS ERIC
ANDERSON I'M A CONSTITUENT OF
SENATOR HERTZBERG IN THE LOS
ANGELES AREA I DIDN'T REALIZE
WOULD BE LIMITED TIME MIGHT BUT
I DID SEND A LETTER NEARLY A
YEAR AGO SO PLEASE READ THAT. I
WILL JUST HIGHLIGHT SOME NOTES
I MADE DURING THE HEARING
BEFORE I REACH MY PREPARED
STATEMENT I NEED TO CORRECT
SOME OF THE MISINFORMATION
THESE DOCTORS AFFECT YOU.
BECAUSE THEY'VE BEEN LATIN
TRUTHFUL WITH YOU AND THAT
ALONE IS ENOUGH TO KEEP THEM
FROM SERVING ON THE BOARD. ONE
THE MEDICAL BOARD FOLLOW THEIR
OWN GUIDELINES PROBABLY LESS
THAN 25% OF THE TIME WE HAVE
THE EVIDENCE PROVING THAT THESE
APPLICANTS WERE NOT TRUTHFUL
WITH YOU ABOUT THAT. YOU IT IS
NOT THE STANDARD OF PROCEDURE
TO INTERVIEW COMPLAINT I FILED
A NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS ON
BEHALF OF MY FAMILY AND OTHER
VICTIMS AND KNOW FOR A FACT
THAT THEY ALMOST NEVER
INTERVIEW A COMPLAINANT. BEFORE
THEY CLOSE THE COMPLAINT THEY
ONLY INTERVIEW IT IF IT MOVES
ON TO THE NEXT LEVEL I'M SORRY
TO HEAR THAT SENATOR BATES MADE
UP OUR MIND OR HEARING THE
PUBLIC SPEAK THAT IS OF GREAT
CONCERN TO ME. MY FAMILY HAS
FALLEN VICTIM TO MEDICAL ERRORS
THREE TIMES SINCE TWO THOUSAND
AND THREE AND ALL OF MY
COMPLAINTS HAVE BEEN CLOSED
WITHOUT INVESTIGATION. AND I
NOW VOLUNTEER FULL TIME AS A
PATIENT SAFETY ADVOCATE IN
HONOR OF MY SISTER'S DEATH. I
CO RUN THE NONPROFIT
ORGANIZATION CALLED THE PATIENT
BACK THE LEAGUE CARE IN THE SAN
FERNANDO VALLEY WE SPENT THE
LEGISLATURE REPORT FOR THE
SUNSET REVIEW IN TWENTY
FOURTEEN CALLED THE MEDICAL
FARCE THE CALIFORNIA WHICH WENT
LARGELY IGNORED AND WE WILL BE
PROVIDING YOU MORE INFORMATION
FOR THE NEXT FUNDS THAT REVIEW.
YOU MAY NOT KNOW THE SPECIFIC
BUT LESS THAN ONE THIRD OF
CALIFORNIA'S DOCTORS USED TO BE
MEMBERS OF THE CALIFORNIA
MEDICAL ASSOCIATION AND OTHER
THIRD OF OUR MEMBERS A PORTION
OF THOSE ARE MANDATED TO BE
MEMBERS BY THEIR LOCAL MEDICAL
SOCIETY. THE CMA WE'LL A LOT OF
MONEY AND POLITICAL POWER IN
THE STATE EVEN THOUGH MOST
DOCTORS DON'T EVEN BELONG. A
FEW YEARS BACK WHEN SENATOR
JERRY HILL WAS BRINGING FORTH
IS OFF THE BILL THAT REQUIRES
DOCTORS ON PROBATION TO INFORM
THEIR PATIENTS ABOUT STATUS.
THE CMA WAS VERY BOTH LOCAL A
OPPOSITE. TO IT. AND LIKEWISE
THE DEATH GONNA DE WHO WAS. AS
THE PRESENT OF THE MEADOW BOARD
TIME WHAT ALSO VOCAL NOT IN THE-
OF THE LARGEST. THERE'S OF
ONLINE OF HIM IN OPPOSITION.
GONNA DEATH ALSO DONATES A LOT
OF MONEY TO THE CALIFORNIA
MEDICAL ASSOCIATION WHEN I TOLD
THE MEDICAL BOARD ABOUT MY
PERSONAL MEDICAL NEGLIGENCE
VERY. DETAILED GONNA DEATH THAT
TO ME ON AN ELEVATOR RIDE
TOGETHER BUT I SHOULD KNOW
BETTER THAN TO. GO TO AOUT DR.
AFTER PICKING MY JAW UP OFF THE
FLOOR I REALIZE THAT HE HAS NO
CLUE ABOUT HOW REAL VICTIMS ARE
SUFFERING. WITH THE SYSTEM AND
A LOT OF PEOPLE DON'T GET TO
PICK AND CHOOSE THEIR DOCTORS.
ONE OF THE DOCTORS THAT WAS
AFFILIATED WITH CONTAMINATING
OR OF BEING KNOWN AS DR HARI
REDDI WHO SEXUALLY ASSAULTED A
FOURTEEN YEAR OLD GIRL. DEB'S
FIRST BEAUTY ON THE MEDICAL
BOARD WHAT THE FED ON A PANEL
THAT RESTORED. THAT SEX
OFFENDERS LICENSE. READY IF THE
BROTHER IN LAW OF. READY OF PER
HELPED WHO WENT ON TO DONATE
FORTY MILLION DOLLARS TO DEATH
NEW MEDICAL SCHOOL. I AM
IMPLORING. COULD NOT CONFIRM
THE EMPLOYEE APPOINTEE. WE NEED
A REAL PATIENT ADVOCATE SERVING
ON THE MEDICAL BOARD NOT BY
DOCTORS. A NUMBER OF OUR
ADVOCATES HAVE PUT IN
APPLICATIONS TO SERVE ON THE
MEDICAL BOARD. AND THEY WON'T
EVEN CONSIDER US. WE ARE TRYING
TO WORK WITH THE MEDICAL BOARD
TO FIX ALL OF ITS PROBLEMS BUT
WHEN OUR GOVERNMENT KEEPS
STACKING THE BOARD WITH
NOMINEES LIKE THIS. IT MAKES IT
NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE. THANK YOU.
THANK YOU MISTER ANDERSON AYE

WORDS AND TEMPERAMENT OF THE
FOLKS THAT WERE OPPOSING- WAS
THAT ISSUE KEEP COMING BACK

THAT'S OK THAT'S OUR JUDGMENT
THAT'S OUR JOB BUT IN ORDER TO
INSPIRE TRUST IN THE PROCESS WE
HAVE TO DO EXTRAORDINARY DUE
DILIGENCE TO MAKE SURE THAT
PEOPLE UNDERSTAND THAT WE HAVE
A RATIONAL BASIS FOR
DISAGREEING WITH SOME OF THE
PROFESSIONALS THAT WITH RESPECT
TO THE RECOMMENDATIONS THAT
THEY MAKE BEFORE THIS COMMITTEE.
AND SO TO HEAR JUST VERY
BRIEFLY EACH OF YOU AS YOU.
PROCESS THE UPON THE FOLKS THAT
SPOKE HERE. AND THIS THEME OF
TRUST. AND THIS IS A LARGER
ISSUE THAT WE'VE BEEN FACING
FOR MANY YEARS AS I SAID IN THE

YOUR INSIGHTS AND YOUR
REACTIONS TO. I TO THE
SPECIFICS OF THEIR TESTIMONY.
BUT TO THE UNDERLYING
FRAMEWORK- THAT MR LATER TALKED
ABOUT. OF BEING HONEST BROKERS

AND NOW ALL OF THEM STAND UP

THANK YOU. THANK YOU. OTHER
COLLEAGUE. ANYTHING FURTHER.
OKAY MR OF VICE CHAIRMAN. THANK
YOU MAYOR PRO TEM. SO ONE OF
THE PEOPLE IN OPPOSITION SURE
THAT 95% OF ALL CASES ARE
CLOSED WITHOUT ANY ACTION- IT
IS THAT IS THAT ACCURATE
INFORMATION. OF ANY ANYONE YEAH.
ALTHOUGH I DON'T BELIEVE THAT
THAT IS AN ACCURATE STATEMENT
THE NUMBERS ARE MORE- INDEED
THE DISCIPLINE RATE IS MORE
LIKE- 8% OF THE OF THE
COMPLAINTS ARE BELIEVE RATHER
IS NOT A BIG DIFFERENCE MINUTES
TRUE THAT IN ITS 8% VERSUS 5%
BUT THAT'S BECAUSE A MORE
ACCURATE PERCENTAGE GOOD I KNOW
BUT I'M NOT SURE OF THAT
APPROACH AND WIND- THESE
NOMINATIONS ARE COMING TO THE
FLOOR BUT I'M I LIKE TO MAYBE
SEE THE LAST FOUR FIVE YEARS-
SOME KIND OF YOU KNOW MATRIX
OF- I CASES AND THEN- BUT
SOMETHING ELSE. A NUMBER OF
PEOPLE BROUGHT UP I ACTUALLY
ASKED A QUESTION I WISH I COULD
REMEMBER WHICH DOCTOR ANSWERED
IT. BUT NUMBER PEOPLE BROUGHT
UP THAT THESE CASES ARE CLOSE
WITHOUT EVER HER INTERVIEWING
THE CLAIM IT SO. I'D LIKE TO
KNOW WHAT AGAIN IS THAT IS THAT
STANDARD- PROCEDURES AND SO IF
IT IS AN OBVIOUSLY WAS VIOLATED
IN THE CASES THAT WE HEARD
TODAY. WOULD ANYONE LIKE TO THE
TO THE TO THE DIRT ON THE BOARD
THE LONGEST WAIT I WOULD
APPRECIATE. FROM CARRILLO SAID
THAT'S NOT THE STANDARD
PROCEDURE ACTUALLY THE
INVESTIGATOR IS SUPPOSED TO
TALK TO THE- NUMBER OF THE
PATIENTS OR THEIR FAMILY
MEMBERS AND GET THEIR
PERSPECTIVE SO THANKS. THAT'S
NOT TRUE THEY DID NOT- I THINK
THAT'S A VIOLATION. OKAY THANK
YOU. THIRTY THORPE. YOU KNOW
HONESTLY- I DON'T KNOW AND- I
SEE THAT WE HAVE BEEN ON THE
BOARD FOR EIGHTEEN MONTHS BUT I
AM WE'LL GET THOSE AT THE LEVEL
THAT I GET INFORMATION I EIGHT
I HONESTLY JUST DON'T KNOW IF
THAT'S THE CASE. ALL RIGHT
THANK YOU SIR. THANK YOU- I-
THINK THERE'S A LITTLE BIT OF
INFORMATION THAT WE CAN MAKE
THE REQUEST OF. OF STAFF RULES
COMMITTEE STAFF TO FOLLOW UP- I
WOULD ASK IS ARE ALL OF THESE
NUMBERS RELATED TO THE NUMBER
OF CASES. INVESTIGATED BUT BEEN
GO TO THE NEXT LEVEL THE NEXT
LEVEL THE PERCENTAGES IT IS ALL
OF THIS PUBLIC INFORMATION ARE.
CAN CAN ANY OF YOU DOCTOR COULD
NOT A DEV IT IS THIS AVAILABLE
TO THE PUBLIC READILY- YES
HURRICANE SIX. IT'S PRESENTED
TO THE BOARD MEETING AND
EXHIBIT A BIRD DOG. K. THANK
YOU. TOM I DO THINK I WOULD
LIKE SOME CLARITY FROM THE
MEDICAL BOARD STAFF RELATED TO
THE ISSUE OF WHETHER OR- WHEN
THERE IS AN INVESTIGATION THE
COMPLAINT AND IS. ARE ABLE TO
BE CONSULTED OR HAVE AN
INTERVIEW AND SO- TO MY STAFF
WHO I KNOW WE'RE LISTENING
BETWEEN NOW AND SHOULD THESE
APPOINTMENTS COME TO THE FLOOR
DEPENDING UPON THE OUTCOME
TODAY I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW THE
RESPONSE TO THAT SO IF WE CAN
GET THAT INFORMATION. I THINK
WHAT WE HAVE BEFORE US CLEARLY.
THESE APPOINTMENTS ARE ARE VERY
CRITICAL APPOINTMENTS OUTSIDE
TO CONSUMERS AND TO THE PUBLIC.
AND CLEARLY- YOU KNOW WE HEARD
FROM SOME PEOPLE TODAY AND-
IT'S HARD FOR US IN THE
POSITION THAT WE'RE IN AND WE
DON'T DEAL WITH THESE CASES ON
A WEEKLY BASIS YOU'RE PART OF
PANELS YOU HEAR. YOU GIVE OF
YOUR TIME AND- CLEARLY WE'VE
HEARD FROM PEOPLE IN SUPPORT
AND WE HAVE HEARD FROM. MEMBERS
OF THE PUBLIC WHO HAVE NOT HAD
THE BEST RESULT. FOR THEIR
FAMILY MEMBERS AND THAT'S
ALWAYS VERY DIFFICULT AND HARD
TO HEAR- ON MY DAD- SO IT MAKES
IT DIFFICULT FOR US- WILL BE
HERE PROBABLY THOSE WHO ARE
MOST ARE AGGRIEVED BUT- I THINK
THAT THERE IS SOME. REALLY
IMPORTANT PIECE HERE ABOUT THE
PUBLIC'S TRUST TO THE TO THE
POINT OF THE TRUST THAT THE
PUBLIC HAS TO PLACE AND CLEARLY
YOUR VOLUNTEERS YOU ON'T YOU
DON'T NEED TO SERVE YOU
OBVIOUSLY HAVE BUSY LIVES SO I
APPRECIATE THAT IT IS A VERY
SERIOUS RESPONSIBILITY TO SERVE
IN ADDITION TO EVERYTHING ELSE
YOU DO. BUT IT IS AN
EXPECTATION AND SO IT IS HARD
FOR US TO HEAR FROM PEOPLE WHO
FEEL LIKE THE SYSTEM HAS NOT-
SERVE THEM WELL ALL OUR OUR
ADDRESS THEIR CONCERNS AND- YOU
KNOW THEY'RE NOT IN THE
POSITION TO JUDGE THAT'S WHY.
THERE IS A LEGAL SYSTEM THAT
ALLOWS THEM TO DO THAT THAT'S
WHY THERE ARE OTHER PROTECTIONS
AND INSTITUTIONS IN PLACE LIKE
THIS AND SO. THAT OUR PUBLIC
TRUST PEACE IS VERY IMPORTANT I
THINK YOU KNOW I WOULD LIKE-
THIS IS BEEN ONE OF THE MORE-
IN DEPTH. RULES COMMITTEE
HEARINGS IN TERMS OF THE
CONVERSATION- CLEARLY WE'VE HAD
SOME DIFFICULT WHAT'S IN THE
PAST BUT THIS ONE HAS BEEN.
MORE SO I ACTUALLY. WOULD LIKE
EACH OF YOU TO CLOSE TO GIVE ME
SOME CLOSING COMMENTS ON YOUR
COMMITMENT TO THE PUBLIC AND
YOUR ABILITY TO BALANCE THESE
RESPONSIBILITIES THAT YOU HAVE.
IT WOULD- AND THEN WILL YOU I
WILL MOVE FOR A MOTION AND I
WILL TAKE SEPARATE MOTIONS ON
ALL THREE JUST BECAUSE THERE
WERE PEOPLE WHO. MADE COMMENTS
IN SUPPORT OF SOME NOT ALL AS A
GROUP SO I THINK IT WOULD BE
BETTER TO JUST TAKE EACH MOTION
SEPARATELY WHEN WE GET THERE
BUT- DOCTOR GONNA DEVIL OF ME
START WITH YOU TO MAKE
CONCLUDING COMMENTS THAT I'LL
GO TO DR THORPE AND THEN TO DR.
MAHMOUD AND I APPRECIATE YOUR
PATIENCE AND TOM BUT I DO THINK
THIS IS IMPORTANT- TO MURDER

THE MEDICAL BOARD IS THAT OF A
CONSUMER ADVOCATE. AND PATIENT
PROTECTION. THERE IS LONG THERE
IS NO WAY THAT I HE WILL BE-
YOU ARE DETERRED FROM THAT'S
WHAT THAT'S BEEN MY HE HAS BEEN
MY PATTERN OF ACTION FOR THE
FORTY YEARS I'VE BEEN A
PRACTICE IS ADVOCATE FOR
PATIENTS- I DO THINK THAT THERE
IS A- THERE IS A- BALANCE TO BE
HAD- ACTION IS IMPROVE IS
EXTREMELY IMPORTANT AND NEEDS
TO BE THE PRIORITY. BUT WITHOUT
A WITHOUT A PROFESSION. IT'S
GOING TO BE MUCH WORSE FOR
CONSUMERS IF YOU DON'T HAVE A
PROFESSION IT IS FUNCTIONING AT
THE HIGHEST LEVEL AND I- I
THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO HAVE
THAT. DONE BALANCE AS WELL AS
AN BUT I ATE MY- I'VE SAID
BEFORE THAT I HATE I HATE
HOUSE- I FEEL LIKE I AM.
UNTRUSTWORTHY I DON'T COME IN

IS UNDER MY PROTECTION AND
SAFETY OF OUR- CALIFORNIANS AND
DELIVER DOT. WORDS LOS. HERE
STANDARDS TO CALIFORNIANS- HOW
CAN COULD NOT BE DELIVERED. IN
A- I CLASS LEVEL UNLESS THERE'S
AN ACCOUNTABILITY. AND I THINK
I AM I'M NOT I'M I'M I THINK
I'M SURE THAT I WOULD BE READY
TO MAKE ANY ACCOUNTABILITY
THERE IS ANY BREACH IN
HEALTHCARE DELIVERY AT ANY
LEVEL. AND AS I SAID BEFORE AND
I E. ECKEL- SEVERAL OTHER
SENATORS ARE CONCERNED ABOUT IS
THE- AT THINGS ARE NOT
HAPPENING IN TIMELY FASHION AND
THAT DOCTOR FRUSTRATE ME
EQUALLY AS SO MANY PEOPLE ARE
FRUSTRATED AND- WE NEED TO MAKE
SOME MOVES OBVIOUSLY THERE ARE
A- CHALLENGES AND THERE ARE. NO
TRYING TO. BUT I THINK WE NEED
TO MOVE BEYOND THAT AND WE HAVE
TO SHOW A THREATENED AND I'M
PRETTY SURE ONCE YOU FOR THE
PLAN THAT MEDICAL WARD IS THE-
WOMAN IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION
PEOPLE WHO TRUST US. AND MY
GOAL WILL BE TO ONCE I GET
CONFRONTED TO WORK AGGRESSIVELY
ON BAGHDAD. PEOPLE'S VOICES ARE
HEARD PEOPLE'S CONCERNS ARE
HEARD AND NOT ONLY HOGAN HEARD
TIMELY AND RESPONSIVE GIVEN
TIMELY AND PEOPLE WHO ARE

THE HEALTHCARE DELIVERY IN.
CALIFORNIA AS OF OUR STANDARD.
THANK YOU. THANK YOU DOT.
MENTOR THANK AT ONE YES. YOU
KNOW HOW ARMED I JUST I KNOW IF
IT'S A HE IN THE SKY BUT I
THINK IN THE LARGER
RESPONSIBILITY WE HAVE. IS THAT
YOU KNOW WHETHER IT'S A BOARD
OF PHARMACY BOARD OF
ACCOUNTANCY THE NURSES AND
NURSE PRACTITIONER J. AND
EVERYONE OF THESE BOARDS ARE
REGULATED I'D LOVE TO BE ABLE
TO SEE IF IT'S POSSIBLE HOW
MANY CASES AND IF THERE'S AN
ABERRATION MAY BECAUSE THE
MICRO ISSUE MAY BECAUSE THERE'S
SOME OTHER ISSUE WITH RESPECT
TO THIS BOARD. BUT IS THERE
SOMETHING DIFFERENT IN TERMS OF
ALL GETS HER FORTY ARMY BOARD
THIS FORTY ONE OR SOMETHING
BOARDS ON THE DEPARTMENT
CONSUMER AFFAIRS. A SENATOR OF
COVERAGE TO THE HEAD OF THAT
RIGHT YEAH AND SO TO GET SOME
SENSE IS TO SEE IF THERE'S AN
ABERRATION BECAUSE OF MICRO
BECAUSE OF OTHER ISSUES N. N.
AND- THEY GET TO IN A LARGER
SENSE WHICH WOULD HELP US TO
SEE HOW THIS WORKS AND HOW THE
BOARD IS WORKING IN CONJUNCTION
WITH ALL THE OTHER. CONSUMER
BOARDS TO HAVE SIMILAR
RESPONSIBILITIES JUST DIFFERENT
AREAS OF THE LAW. AND PUBLIC
POLICY. THANK YOU. THANK YOU.
NUMBER TOWN A YES- YOU PROBABLY
HAVE YOUR HAND UP. I WILL GO TO
YOUR WE CAN AS A CENTER AND OF
COURSE YOU SENATE ART LORIEN
HIDES DON'T KNOW THE HANDBRAKE
ON ON THIS CAN SO STATE'S
FAILED ME ON THAT TIME GIVE ME
A CHANCE TO GET MY VOICE AND
OFFERS LET ME I SHARE. US SINCE
OF THE ON MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC
ON OPPOSING THE PIPELINE THAT'S
WAS DISAPPOINTED THAT I
IMMEDIATELY JUMPED OUT WITHOUT
SAYING I WAS GOING TO SUPPORT.
CLEARLY- I WAS AWARE OF- IF THE
NEW. YOU THAT THEY ARE BROUGHT
FORWARD IN TERMS PROBABLY MOST.
ON THE TRYING ON THE TIGHT
LEVEL OF TIMELY IN GETTING
AWESOME RESOLUTIONS TO THE
ISSUES THAT THEY BROUGHT
FORWARD. A LOSING A LOVED ONE
ON THROUGH MEDICAL MALPRACTICE
RELIGION MEDICAL MALPRACTICE IS
HORRIFIC. I AND MANY MANY
MEMBERS OF MY- ARE YOU THE
MEDICAL. SO I KNOW THE PASSION
THAT THEY APPROACH THE JOBLESS
THE CARE THAT THEY- YOU KNOW
HOUSE FOR THEIR PATIENTS AND-
DEVOTION I MEAN A LOT OF
SOMEBODY ANSWERING THE PHONE AT
THREE IN THE MORNING TO NOW.
ANSWER A QUESTION FROM THE
SENIOR WHO WANTS TO KNOW WHERE
TO GET A COLD IT SHOT ON THOSE
THINGS ARE HAPPENING HEALTH WE
KNOW. SO I WANT YOU ALL TO KNOW
WHO THEY ARE POSITION IN
PARTICULAR THAT I THINK WHAT WE
HEARD TODAY GIVES RISE TO
LOOKING FOR SOLUTIONS AND THERE
ARE CERTAINLY IN THE
LEGISLATIVE PROCESS IN FRONT OF
US. THAT COULD HELP BOTH SIDES
OF THIS QUESTION WE. WILL BE
GOING THROUGH A ARE. A REVIEW-
YOU. REVIEW I BELIEVE THAT
HAPPEN SAN JUAN OF OUR
COMMITTEE BILL CENTER. HOW
PERHAPS. WE CAN SIR BRING UP
THIS IN. THAT YOU PROVIDE US
TODAY I KNOW A VERY KEEN FOR
YOU TO DO THE- TO COME. AND
LOOK FOR SOME. IN TERMS OF
RESEARCH. THAT THE BOARD
PERHAPS. FOR MORE TIME JUST. OF
WHETHER THAT. WE ARE READING
THAT WILL SIGN ON THE BURDEN
CROSS. TRAFFIC OR- ENFORCED
INVEST. THAT USED TO BE PRESS
STATUS NO LONGER THE- WHAT'S
THAT HOW. ISSUE AND THE ON THE-
THAT HAVE BEEN BROUGHT UP BY
THE. ABSENT WHAT BUT I THINK WE
NEED TO DIVE TO TAKE LOOK AT
THE BECAUSE ONE AS MANY ONE IS
TOO MANY ARE WILLING YOU LOSE A
ONE AND YOU NOT GET ANY REST.
SO I WILL. MY SUPPORT AS I SAID
IT'S A VERY DIFFICULT SERVER
THAT WE'VE ASKED THE GENTLEMAN-
WHO HAVE INCREDIBLE-
BACKGROUNDS IN EDUCATION AND
DEVOTION FOR MANY YEARS TO
THEIR PATIENTS. ARE FOR THEM TO
BEAR- ALL OF THE- MISTAKES
GOING ON BEFORE THEM AND
PRESENT. ALL WE NEED TO FIND A
PATH- SO THAT THEY CAN CONTINUE
TO. YOU KNOW EXERCISE THEIR
EXPERTISE BUT DO THAT WITH SOME
NOTING THE PARAMETERS THAT THEY
NEED TO SERVE WITH THEM SO I
JUST WANT TO KNOW THAT I ALWAYS
LOOK FOR SOLUTIONS AND JOAN MY
HEART REACHES OUT TO YOU. THOSE
WHO OPPOSE AND PLEASE KNOW THAT
I AM COMMITTED TO SEEK SOME
SOLUTIONS THAT THIS CAN'T
HAPPEN ALSO EASILY TO ANY
OTHERS THAT COME FORWARD WITH
COMPLAINTS. ON THE MALPRACTICE
ISSUES SO WITH THEIR
INDIVIDUAL- PHYSICIANS OR
HEALTH PROVIDERS ACROSS THE
BOARD. THANK YOU FOR THAT
OPPORTUNITY HARPER MY REMARKS.
SENATOR THANK YOU MR VICE
CHAIRMAN. BREAKING DOWN PROTEIN
REALLY QUICK- FIRST OF ALL I
THINK. BEING A MEMBER OF THE
CMA THAT THAT THAT'S A STRAW
MAN ARGUMENT THAT DOESN'T THAT
DOESN'T CARRY ANY WEIGHT FOR ME
TO ME THAT TELLS ME THAT THESE
ARE PEOPLE WHO ARE DEDICATED.
TO THEIR PROFESSION AND WANT TO
BE INVOLVED HAVING SAID THAT WE
CAN'T HAVE THE SUNSET REVIEW-
IS SOON ENOUGH AS FAR AS I'M
CONCERNED ON THIS BOARD. SO IT
IS. OUR I'M- PEREKOP THAT IS
NOW. WITH THESE INTO. BUT MAY
AS CENTER HER. YOU'LL OUT A
JUST. AND WE REALLY NEED TO
TAKE A LOOK AT THE- BECAUSE YOU
KNOW YOU KNOW. HAPPEN BUT
PEOPLE DO TO JOHN. AND YOU KNOW
BASIC- AND I WANT TO SEE MORE
DATA SO I APPRECIATE APPROACH
HIM ASKING FOR THAT BECAUSE THE
AND THAT'LL BE REALLY HELPFUL
AND- I APPRECIATE EVERYBODY'S
OUT PARTICIPATING TODAY. AND
WAS VERY ENLIGHTENING HEARING
THANK YOU. THANK YOU MR VICE
CHAIRMAN- I WILL BEFORE I ASK
FOR MOTIONS A COUPLE THINGS. I
DO FULLY INTEND TO HAVE A
CONVERSATION WITH THE TERROR OF
BEING P. RELATED TO THE SUNSET
REVIEW AND THESE OUTSTANDING
QUESTIONS THAT HAVE COME UP.
THAT WE WILL MAKE SURE AND GET-
CORRESPONDENCE TO BOTH THE
MEDICAL BOARD. DIRECTOR AS WELL
AS COPYING THE CHAIR OF BMP
REGARDLESS OF HOW A
RECOMMENDATION COMES OUT OF
THIS BODY TODAY FOR. APPOINTEES
GOING TO THE FULL SENATE FOR
CONFIRMATION THAT IS WHERE THE
CONFIRMATION HAPPENS. SO I WILL
DO THAT- I DO. I ALSO WANT TO
POINT OUT THAT WE HAVE FOR MORE
MEMBERS HEADING OUR WAY FROM
THE MEDICAL BOARD TO BE
CONFIRMED WITHIN THE NEXT
COUPLE OF MONTHS. SO AND I SAY
THAT TO THE GOOD DOCTORS THAT
ARE. HERE WITH US TODAY BECAUSE
WHAT THAT MEANS IS THERE IS
GOING TO CONTINUE TO BE FOCUS
ON THE MEDICAL BOARD RIGHT NOW.
AND SO IT ISN'T IT ISN'T JUST
R. THREE APPOINTEES TODAY. IT
IS ACTUALLY MORE THAN THAT AND
AS I SAW I THINK YESTERDAY THE
GOVERNOR MADE. A PUBLIC
APPOINTMENT- SO I THINK THAT
THIS IS GOING TO BE AN ONGOING
CONVERSATION BECAUSE WE HAVE
BEEN. APPROACHED BY MEMBERS OF
THE PUBLIC A SMALL NUMBER OF
FOLKS TODAY BUT- WE HAVE
QUESTIONS WE NEED ANSWERED- I
DO BELIEVE. WE SHOULD MOVE THIS
FORWARD TODAY- I'M NOT CERTAIN
HOW SOON THESE WILL BE ON THE
