It's not just incompetence. Many of these people also abuse their patients. They know what they're doing. They know they have all the power.

It never ceases to astound me, especially since these are the most well regarded members of our society with more education than anyone else. On another note, there are some really interesting ones like this one [1] starting on page 9 which reads like crime novel.

I also partially read a random one [0], about a doctor who had his license revoked for 3 years. Tearing a patient's nerve because he lost a tool and other worse cases (page 17) [0] https://web.archive.org/web/20230925064351/https://www2.mbc.ca.gov/PDL/document.aspx?path=%5CDIDOCS%5C20120910%5CDMRAAAEC1%5C&did=AAAEC120910221311325.DID https://web.archive.org/web/20230925064351/https://www2.mbc....

Here's a quote from one I randomly clicked on: >Respondent admits that there were billings for 35 treatments apiece for two undercover law enforcement officers when each had only five visits. Further, he acknowledged that had he known the true facts, he would have investigated further. However, had he been vigilant, respondent does not believe that he would have detected the problem because patient signatures, as evidence that the patient received treatment, were forged after he issued his reports. I didn't realize that undercover agents were/are doing sting operations for insurance fraud. (And I don't understand the part about forged signatures...)

  I've read some others with undercover agents when federal money is involved in the care like the patient using Medicaid and the doctor repeatedly uses that as a ticket for billing unnecessary services.
