The California Medical Board received nearly 90,000 complaints against doctors in the last decade from patients, physicians and others. But the board rarely takes away doctors’ licenses. Today, on The Times podcast:

He, along with our colleague Kim Christensen, looked into how and why the medical board rarely takes away doctors’ licenses and has long pushed back against calls to toughen its approach.
