revoke or suspend a license. we found other doctors were given the opportunity to continue practicing for years. >> there are many reasons for delays of the board. and up front some of them are internal, the board has made a mistake in following through on certain investigations for a number of reasons, we have implemented procedures to keep that from happening again. reporter: the board's chairman says due process in these serious cases can take a while and that doctors who are questioned need the opportunity for a thorough investigation. he believes the board is doing a good job handling cases all the way through prosecution, but the state disagrees a bit. a scathing audit last fall is bringing serious changes to the board which is independent. we'll tell you about that and hear more of the board's response to our investigation tonight at 11:00. in the meantime, we want you to check out a special website we've created. it's abc2news.com/bad medicine. we put our full coverage of our
