ocregister.com on August 02, 2011 reported that the chief of family medicine at Kaiser Permanente in Orange County faces discipline by the California Medical Board for allegations that he failed to report to the state that another doctor was sexually abusing patients. The board, in documents made public Tuesday, accuses Dr. Lance Charles Brunner of "wilful failure" to alert state authorities three different times after Dr. David Hung Do was sanctioned by the Southern California Permanente Medical Group. State law requires reporting within 15 days of any loss of staff privileges based on medical discipline tied to actions "detrimental to patient safety or to the delivery of patient care."
