Matthew Spolar reports:
The State Board of Medicine added to its critical review of a Tilton doctor yesterday, announcing another $87,900 in fines for professional misconduct while she practiced at the Riverfront Medical Group.
Dr. Susan Hare, already fined thousands of dollars and banned from practicing medicine for previous ethics issues, was cited for an additional 21 violations.
Among them, the board found medical records had been discarded by Hare in at least one trash bag near Riverfront last February, two days after the facility closed.
“This pile was accessible to anyone,” the report read, adding that documents included “patients’ names and dates of birth in plain sight. These privileged patients’ medical records are replete with information that, if found by a third party, would have constituted an invasion of these patients’ privacy.”

Now who is going to report this to HHS, I wonder. Will Dr. Hare self-report?
