 Hello, my name is Marion Hollingsworth and I am a patient's safety advocate. Under state and federal laws, patients have the right to know the risks and benefits of any medical treatment or procedure. This should include any risk from a doctor. So why don't we have access to the National Practitioner Day Bank? This is a repository for state medical board disciplines and medical malpractice payouts. These doctors are considered the worst of the worst. Hospitals, medical boards, and law enforcement can access this information on bad doctors that patients cannot. This information is considered confidential. So how can we patients make informed decisions on our own medical care if we don't know our doctor's background? The thing is, we can't. If you want to know the full background of your doctor, please contact your federal representatives and ask them to make the National Practitioner Day Bank public. Thank you.
