Governor Baker’s recent move to control professional boards seemed a promising step and I provided detailed documentation to the Director of Constituent Services at the Office of the Commissioner for Public Health,  Helen Rush-Lloyd ( Helen.Rush-Lloyd@state.ma.us   617-624-5223 ) who informed me on June 7 she would provide the name of the appropriate contact person to respond.  The email can be seen here: Physician Health and Compliance Unit.   Last I heard it was turfed to attorneys at the Board by whoever the appropriate contact person was and I have not been able to get a name.  As this too appears to be a dead-end it is important to find out who is responsible.  This is a system in which they often place their own people into positions where they can block, punt, deflect, dismiss and otherwise derail valid complaints.  For example they have a “point-person”on the Massachusetts Medical Society ethics committee who blocks valid complaints from ever reaching review.  They are turfed at the door and I would not be surprised if they placed one of their own or one of their apologists into this venue as well and this requires the provision of a name to see who is responsible and who should be held accountable.
