Is it fair to revoke a healthcare license?

On Behalf of | May 9, 2022 | Healthcare License Defense

Healthcare professionals must treat patients with respect and sensitivity. No matter what is being treated by a healthcare professional (including doctors, nurse practitioners, and nurses) the patient should be treated professionally and the line from professional to personal should not be crossed.

However, it is often difficult to avoid the connection that people form with one another. Even though the initial connection may be professional, it is sometimes difficult to avoid the relationship becoming personal. Depending on the circumstances, that may put the licensed individual’s career (healthcare professionals are licensed) at risk.

Medical professionals answer to boards

It is impossible to deny that every human being deserves to have a life that is outside of what they do for a living. When it comes to people in the healthcare field, there are times when the professional runs into the personal, which can become complicated and messy sometimes.

The main objective of a medical board is to ensure that the licensed individual behaves professionally and that the best interests of the patient are under consideration at all times and that they are treated with respect and dignity. Of course, as is the case with other areas in life, things are not always exclusively right or wrong. There are often gray areas in which there is a need for flexible thinking before arriving at a decision.

Licensed professionals should be treated fairly as well

There are at times when the circumstances of a situation and exactly who is responsible are not clear. Perhaps two people connected in a professional setting but did not actually do anything about that connection until after they no longer shared a professional relationship. If the result of that connection is that the healthcare professional has their license revoked, even if it is not fair, it is a decision that may affect the person for the duration of their career.

If your profession requires licensure and you are facing your license being revoked, sound legal advice may help improve the outcome of your case a great deal. A knowledgeable lawyer in Los Angeles can help you to navigate the process and can hopefully enable you to get your license reinstated in a timely manner so that you can successfully continue with your career. You want to continue doing what you love and to make a positive difference in the lives of your patients.
