AMA delegates dodge hearings disputes over suspensions
The House of Delegates of the American Medical Association declined to intervene in two cases of resident doctors suspended without hearings at Duke University Medical Center and Wadsworth VA Hospital Los Angeles. Delegates reaffirmed due process in intern disputes while approving a general discussion stance. New officers Rex Greene and David Axel-Tad led unsuccessful efforts to press AMA action. A second resolution urged AMA to back five Duke house staff suspended for moonlighting to boost income. The session winds up with PSRO and federal law topics for 1983 reforms.
