The Importance of Using a Board Certified Physician
Although you have lived with your body for your entire life, in all likelihood you have a fairly limited understanding of how it works. This is true for the vast majority of those who do not choose to devote themselves to the practice of medicine. As a result you must trust another person’s ability to determine what is ailing you when you are sick and be willing to follow a prescribed course of treatment that a doctor issues. In such a vulnerable position and with so little capacity to independently take stock of the situation, it would not make sense to utilize the services of an uncertified medical professional.

Unlicensed Medicine: Unlimited Dangers
The Pennsylvania State Board of Medicine regulates the work of physicians, physician assistants, radiology technicians, and other medical professionals who practice within the state. They also maintain an active oversight of medical schools and other learning institutions whose students and graduates intend to practice with the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. The Board has the ability to impose sanctions upon those who violate laws or standards, including the revocation of licensure. Unlicensed doctors are not bound by such a review process and the adverse results of fly-by-night practices may include:
- Infection caused by unsanitary facilities or tools
- Drug complications associated with unregulated medications
- Improper surgical procedures
- Wrongful death
