Watch Tina Minasian testify to the California Assembly Business Professions, and Consumer Protections Committee today on AB 2346 (Gonzalez-D), which would divert drunk and high doctors from discipline to confidential treatment.
Ms. Minasian, of Roseville, CA, was harmed by her physician when a botched surgery left her maimed and in years of pain. She found out later that the doctor had an alcohol abuse problem and a history of DUI arrests, including one on the way to the hospital to treat a patient, and who had been protected by the last confidential substance abuse monitoring program that diverted him from discipline.
