Workplace Law — Unit test

Question 8 • *GV 2018 - P.E. Health Science - PE201

What is a possible consequence of a doctor practicing without a valid medical license?

Answer

could be imprisoned for medical fraud and/or medical malpractice after being sued

could be sued by patients and the state for practicing unlicensed medicine for over a year

could be given the proper medical license after a year of suspension from practicing

could pay a fee to the state for every year he or she practiced medicine without the license

Explanation

Practicing medicine without a valid license is illegal and can lead to criminal charges, including fraud-related charges, as well as civil liability if a patient is harmed. A doctor may therefore be imprisoned or sued for malpractice. The other choices describe consequences tied to an arbitrary one-year period or only a fee, which are not the general possible consequence.
