Your license and the law.

Rare is the individual respondent in a hearing before the California Board of Medical Examiners who has read the compilation of laws relating to the practice of medicine and surgery before he became involved with the law. Many physicians do not realize that the conviction of either a felony or any offense, misdemeanor or felony involving moral turpitude constitutes unprofessional conduct and that, after being penalized by the civil courts, they then are subject to action by the Board which may revoke the license to practice. During 1960, forty-two hearings on charges of unprofessional conduct were held. Many of these could have been avoided had the doctors involved not been ignorant of the law.
