I was just curious, what happens if a physician is placed on a hold and hospitalized? Do medical boards investigate upon discharge? Does it affect their ability to practice (if no substance abuse is involved)? I think in Medicine, there is a huge stigma about getting help for mental illness especially when you are in training, but I wonder how it would affect someone who is practicing?
On a related note, I always get questions from kids and parents about their ability to go to a good college or join the military based on their hospitalization, is this generally true? I would think it would be illegal to limit someones college potential, but I imagine the military would conduct its own evaluation.
Thanks
