Dr. Yvoune Kara Petrie versus Virginia Board Of Medicine. 2nd Edition

One particular sector that aptly portrays some of the lapses in judicial oversight of the administrative review process involves the regulation of the healthcare professions. The ascendancy of the medical profession in the last century or so coupled with the proliferation of sophisticated health related technologies backed by advances in the pharmaceutical sciences has enabled the medical profession to claim a pre-eminent position among other branches of the healing arts. With this ascendancy also emerged (despite surface appearances) a deep-seated but seldom voiced mistrust and an abrasive rivalry among the various branches of the healing profession. Taken from the Book.
