Wu Medical Board - Notice of Erasure (Lavey) Draft

An in-world prop from Rock Lavey’s background. The Provincial Medical Board’s strike-off notice. What he was, in the language of the people who ended it. The cold twin to the recovery bulletin: one is the claim ticket, this is the verdict it rests on.

The document (in-world)

PROVINCIAL MEDICAL BOARD OF WU
OFFICE OF REGISTRATION & CONDUCT
══════════════════════════════════════════════
NOTICE OF ERASURE FROM THE REGISTER
Ref: PMB/CONDUCT/LAVEY        Status: FINAL
──────────────────────────────────────────────
REGISTRANT ... LAVEY. Trauma & Emergency Surgery.
               Standing: SENIOR. Prior record: clean,
               and better than clean. Cited twice for
               work no one else would attempt.

FINDING
  Death of a patient in the registrant's direct
  care. A material sign was present and was not
  acted upon in time. The Board finds the registrant
  competent, unimpaired, and responsible. This is
  the hardest kind of finding we enter. It is not
  a finding of a bad doctor. It is a finding that a
  good one, on this occasion, was the one holding
  the chart, and the patient died.

DETERMINATION
  Registration ERASED. The registrant may not
  practise, prescribe, hold, or represent himself
  under any medical title in this jurisdiction or
  any that honours our register.
  The title is withdrawn. The skill is not ours to
  withdraw and we make no comment on it.

NOTE FOR THE RECORD
  The patient was a minor. The patient shared the
  registrant's surname. The Board declines to say
  more, and asks that those who read this decline
  also. A man does not need reminding of the one
  chart he will read for the rest of his life.
══════════════════════════════════════════════
Erasure is a matter of public record.
The rest of it is not.
