This is the prompt, and the resulting deep-dive research project I gave to Gemini AI.  It makes some excellent points, but the one I like most is, "The Process is the Punishment.  Even if a doctor is exonerated, the process is so long, so expensive, and so potentially damaging to their careers, that just going through it is like being convicted of a crime.  Since doctors cannot speak freely about the Medical Board of California out of the reasonable fear of retaliation, this report used anonymous forums for most of the analysis here.  It also reviews the MBC drug testing program for doctors who have been accused of substance abuse, which seems unnecessarily brutal, even draconian.
