Did Barrett fail the test?

Or did he refuse to be tested?

Ilena is perseverating again.

Ask him. Or write to the certifying specialty board & ask them.

Board certification is NOT a requirement to practice medicine, nor is
it the be-all, end-all standard of a doctor's competence. It is one
of many certifications MD's may obtain -- or not. Just like
membership (or lack thereof) in various voluntary organizations
doesn't prove anything.


What other of the "many certifications MD's may obtain" is of the
import of a Board Certification, Michele?

As Orac and others have told you, it was not important at the time he began
practising.

He completed his training and residencies and was board eligible by the
standards in effect at the time.

Of course, you will never stop bleating and braying about this.

Indeed. I've been rebutting her on this topic for nearly three and a
half years, as I showed in another post. (Geez, has it really been that
long?)

He didn't give up his medical license and remove that level of
protection to the public until the early 90's.

He retired from the practice of psychiatry. If one is not practicing,
one does not need a license. Medical licenses are expensive to maintain
and require a lot of continuing medical education (CME) credits. These
credits are not usually that difficult to get if you're practicing, but
if you're not they can be rather onerous to get.

Decades Davey boy ... DECADES after being in "practice" DECADES!

This is the Quack who screams for the licenses of real doctors doing
research and trying to figure out the mechanisms of MCS:

I was shocked that Barrett wrote of the clinical ecologists who
believe in MCS, "most of them should have their licenses revoked."
(See Ex. I to my original declaration.)

From: Orac

I have
explained to Ilena many times why Barrett's lack of Board certification
means nothing with regards to his competence

Your explaining it trying to protect Barrett.

It's ye ole good boy and girl club.

What board certification does Dr Burzynski have, Jan? Please do not
tell me that this is a diversion or irrelevant.

You don't even understand that "board certification" isn't a single
certification, do you?? As usual, I have to do your research for you
-- really poor form, Ilena.

A *quick* look reveals that the American Board of Psychiatry &
Neurology has MULTIPLE certifications available for docs who want to
pursue any or all of them. Individual certifications are offered in
geriatric, forensic, child & adolescent, & general psych. I & II.
Some docs have one or two of these certs., while some don't.

There are probably more......but hey, do a LITTLE work yourself, okay?

Docs can be certified as MD's in many specialties, or not as they
choose.

And who benefits when they either fail their Board Certification or
refuse to be tested?

Quack Barrett got NONE OF THESE.
