From O’S News Service Oct. 27

The Medical Board of California is meeting this Thursday and Friday, and they do a good job of putting the show online and allowing participation from remote viewers. 

Current membership is 15  —eight physicians and five “public members” appointed by the Governor; one public member appointed by the Speaker of the Assembly; and one public member appointed by the Senate Rules Committee.

The Michael Bishop, MD, on the board is not the former chancellor of UCSF.

At the January meeting Howard Krauss, MD, came out against cannabis approvals being issued by telemedicine, even renewals. 

Two vacant seats, designated for representatives of the public, have yet to be filled by Jerry Brown.  I wonder how much a seat costs nowadays?  —FG
