That’s the message ABIM is sending to physicians by revoking the board certifications of Doctors Marik and Kory. “Follow the consensus, not the science.” It’s about compliance, not saving lives.

Executive summary

Today, the Washington Post gleefully reported the revocation by the American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM) of the certifications of Paul Marik and Pierre Kory.

The message they are sending is clear: “All physicians must toe the line. If you disagree with the medical consensus, we will make it impossible for you to practice medicine for the rest of your life. We just don’t give a damn what the scientific evidence is or how many lives you save.”
