Virginia State Medical Board Reprimands Two Doctors
The doctors in question are immune from lawsuit because of a 20-year-old no-fault Virginia program that provides medical care to injured children without requiring a trial while protecting obstetricians from legal action. A consequence of this program was that birth-injury cases would often go unscrutinized and negligent obstetricians could go unnoticed and without reprimand. That is why this an unusual event and the first of its kind in twenty years.
The reprimands do not impose monetary sanction on the doctors, nor do they limit the doctors' ability to practice.
