Investigating Doctors
Heisel lists four places where reporters should go to investigate doctors. They are: medical boards, court records, medical specialty boards and medical research journals. For each resource, Heisel tells the reporter how he or she can go about getting the information and what data he or she should expect to find at each place. He also discusses how The Orange County Register built its own database of local doctors' records.
