What if he refuses and than they yank his license.

It will be interesting to see if he takes it that far.


I imagine that he might cave if he actually faces losing the license. But what I meant by the question was, would you than consider it a legal matter?

(Side note on grammar and punctuation. If should that last sentence end in with a question mark? Is it a statement not a question? Does anyone care :)

Reminds me of Michael Graham who got fired from WMAL for refusing to smooth things over, not for what he said that triggered the incident.

But getting fired is not a legal matter. Michael Graham can go in to business for himself or try to find someone else to hire him. He isn't locked out of his profession.


Sort of like getting impeached for telling a lie rather than for what one lied about.


Not really very much like that. Perjury is a crime. (Definitely a legal matter, in fact its a crime only because it is a legal matter, ordinary lying is not a crime) Also in this case the doctor faces possible punishment for the original crime. Apology, or sensitivity training might be allowed instead of official punishment but the "crime" is the original action.
