of sexual misconduct. his case, though, not the only one with a lengthy delay. abc 2 news investigator joce sisterman exposed cases where some maryland doctors were allowed to keep practicing for months, even years before action was taken. reporter: we found dozens of cases that had serious delays. it's all part of an abc 2 news investigation into bad medicine. as part of our story last night, we exposed how those delays apply to cases involving everything from sexual misconduct to drug abuse, even doctors who played a role in the deaths of patients. the maryland board of physicians is the agency assigned to discipline doctors, although they are often quick to act, sometimes taking just days to 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: 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 full coverage of our investigation right here for you to look at. you can look up doctors by name, by the various complaints. you can see which complaints are most common related to all of these documents. you can look up your doctor and figure out how to file a complaint. this is all on our website, abc2news.com abc2news.com/bad medicine. joce sisterman, abc 2 news.
