The sad story of a physician who blew the whistle on a hospital for poor patient care. The hospital retaliated by calling him a disruptive physician, effectively crippling his career by reporting him to the National Practitioner Data Bank.

It’s interesting that there are no “disruptive hospital administrator” or “disruptive CEO” guidelines. A CEO may fire a highly competent doctor who is trying to insure quality medical care.
