Desperate sham peer reviewed doctor contacted Texas Medical Board Watch

Lishan Wang MD, reportedly a victim of sham peer review, was terminated by Kingsbrook Jewish Medical Center in Brooklyn one month prior to graduating from his residency in Internal Medicine about two years ago.

Two years later, on Wednesday, April 28, 2010, he shot dead the doctor he believed was responsible for bringing false charges against him.

Texas Medical Board Watch was one of the resources Dr. Lishan Wang turned to when he felt he had no other place to turn. We failed to provide him what he needed to avert this tragedy.

Dr. Wang, apparently, had not been in this country very long and did not know the ropes. He had no way to provide for his wife and children. His wife did not speak English and she was ill. Lishan told me he was desperate. He meant it.

The unjust society which turns a blind eye and deaf ear to whistleblowers is at least partially responsible. Decent people can become desperate. Retaliation against whistleblowers is a dangerous game. The Texas Medical Board plays it frequently.

There is a side to the story the media is not telling. The public needs to hear the other side.
