Demi Dominguez was determined to have died from pre-eclampsia, also leading to her newborn son’s death. The Attorney General’s office has since filed an accusation of negligence against Dr. Arther M. Park. Non-profit consumer advocacy group Consumer Watchdog says a decision on Park is as soon as next week.

The Dominguez family testified at a California State Senate hearing on the California Medical Board regarding lax enforcement against dangerous doctors.

The Medical Board of California is charged with protecting the public from dangerous doctors, but it is failing that consumer protection mission. Doctors have the majority of seats on the Board, with 8, while the public has only 7 (and two of those are vacant). With doctors in charge, the Medical Board lets negligent doctors continue to practice and harm Californians with no accountability. Too often, patient complaints about physician negligence are dismissed without the patient ever even being interviewed, and with no consequences for the doctors who cause harm.

For mothers like Tammy Smick, who lost her son to a doctor-prescribed drug overdose, Mother's Day will always be a sad reminder of what they've lost. Existing California law makes it almost impossible for mothers and the families of victims to ever find justice. But in November 2022, the Fairness Act (www.fairnessact.org) will ensure that bad doctors are held accountable when they negligently hurt -- or even kill -- our most innocent.
