How courts have described this case
Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.
- holding that although unprofessional conduct should not be given an “overly broad connotation,” “it must relate to conduct which indicates an unfitness to practice medicine”
- holding that it is unnecessary to enumerate specific acts which constitute “unprofessional conduct,” and that the term as used in the statute is not unconstitutionally vague
- state’s power to protect its citizens by regulating conduct of health professionals is well settled, and the First Amendment will not shield a “verbal charlatan” doctor from responsibility for his conduct
