When a doctor is faced with disciplinary action, aggressive medical license defense becomes necessary to try to protect his license and avoid adverse consequences. Unfortunately, sometimes the actions of state disciplinary boards are improper, as medical boards may sometimes aggressively go after people who have not really done anything wrong. Threat of facing disciplinary action can have a chilling effect on the practice of medicine, particularly for doctors in certain fields like pain management where there is ample room for accusations of wrongdoing to be made.
