One of these days you and I are going to have to have a long talk about what is a "legal matter." Perhaps you're using that as a term of art, which occurs in my areas of expertise as well as in yours, and I'm using common parlance. Nonetheless, I'd appreciate your insight on the subject. You seem to go to criminal law as a default position. Actually, I didn't in this instance. I said "I don't see where the doctor is being investigated for a crime or is being sued... " The Board of Medicine can yank his license or issue a reprimand. If the board yanks his license, that's a legal matter. If it sends him to remedial sensitivity or obesity training, no, I don't consider that a legal matter although technically it may be. The board isn't going to yank someone's license over an incident like what we know about this. That has been my underlying assumption in not characterizing this as a legal matter.
