p0675 REVIEW DENIED In a disciplinary proceeding by a hospital against a physician on its staff, a hearing officer's longstanding and continuous relationship with the hospital, significant financial gain he derived from the hospital by serving as mediator and arbitrator and presiding over a number of similar proceedings concerning physician discipline, and his previous service on a hearing panel in connection with disciplinary action against the same physician should have resulted in the hearing officer's disqualification.CitationYAQUB v SALINAS VALLEY MEM HEALTHCARE (Fair Hearing) 122 CA4 474 [See: B&PC 809.2; Haas v County 27 C4 1017, P/AT 7/02]
