[QUOTE="Esq, post: 111998, member: 15250"] By way of update, the KBML reached its decision last week and has indefinitely suspended Dr. Bates, the medical director, from practicing hormone medicine. She gets to keep her license and the clinic will remain open, but she can't practice there (or anything hormonal anywhere else). Her lawyer says they will appeal. [URL]https://www.courier-journal.com/story/news/2018/06/21/kentucky-suspends-hormone-therapy-doctor-license-25-again/721086002/[/URL] . Several here have commented that the name of the clinic put a target on its back. Respectfully, and I'm a patient at one of them, but how is 25 Again/Body Shapes Medical so offensive while the names of two site sponsors, Prime Body and Defy Medical, are fine?
