Q: I had my medical license in CA put on probation after three weird encounters with corrupt and dumb police. I had
already left CA terrified and moved to NM. There, severe sleep apnea and hypoxia was missed until I was so disabled I didn't even think to get help to get on disability. Eventually a social worker got me help and I was given federal disability. I asked the CA medical board to change my license statue to disabled but I was refused. The person who refused me would not tell me if she even had any medical background herself. She said I had taken to long to do the paperwork. I was still throwing my guts up and hypoxic when my CA license was revoked. Isn't that a civil rights violation? Who could I turn to now?
A:
The situation you described raises concerns about potential violations of your rights. If you believe that your rights under the Americans with Disabilities Act or other relevant laws were violated, you may have grounds to pursue a complaint or lawsuit.
It's crucial to gather all relevant documentation, including medical records and communications with the CA medical board. To determine if there's a viable legal claim, you should consult with an attorney who has experience with medical licensing issues and disability rights in California. They can assess the specifics of your case and guide you on the best course of action. Taking timely action is essential, as there may be statutes of limitations that apply.
