« Children's doctors to care for babies at Caritas hospitals | Main | Boston gets $500,000 for anti-obesity campaign » Thursday, April 19, 2007Two doctors disciplined by medical boardBy Liz Kowalczyk, Globe Staff The Board of Registration in Medicine has disciplined two physicians, Dr. Matthew Cushing Jr. and Dr. Douglas M. Katz. The board revoked Cushing's license, following a similar action by the California Medical Board in 2004 over his treatment of a patient who later died of an overdose. No Massachusetts office was listed for Cushing, whose specialty is internal medicine. The board reprimanded Katz, a 1987 graduate of the School of Medicine, State University of New York, for "engaging in communication" with a patient whose tattoo he removed "designed to foster a personal relationship beyond the boundaries of a doctor/patient relationship." Katz, who is board certified in internal medicine, practices in Peabody and is affiliated with Lahey Clinic and Union Hospital. Posted by Gideon Gil at 04:43 PM
