Dismissed. Terminated. Let go. Released. Fired. No matter what you call it, if you are a patient and it happens to you it means you are out. You will no longer be able to see the medical professional who is doing the dismissing, and you will need to find a new provider.
This is Jean Fisher Brinkley, Communications Director for the North Carolina Medical Board, and this is MedBoard Matters.
