The board immediately reinstated Rudy's license and sealed all the records from the public and the press--thus honoring the long-held philosophy of Florida's medical establishment that the last persons who need to know about a doctor's incompetence are the patients.
The Florida medical board responded swiftly by reinstating Rudy's license and sealing all related records from public access. This action reflects their long-standing belief that patients should remain uninformed about any potential incompetence of doctors, prioritizing the protection of medical reputation over transparency.
This approach underscores a culture within the medical community that values confidentiality and discretion, often at the expense of public awareness or accountability. Such measures are designed to shield medical practitioners from scrutiny and potential damage to their careers.
