Suspension V. Parker's Primary Care Profession

In the field of healthcare professions, we may encounter results that are good, and some that are bad. Unfortunately the experience that Parker’s encountered with Dr. Green ended with bad results. Mr. Parker chose a primary care physician who he thought would be reliable due to the physicians being listed as one of the certified physicians for his proposal. Mr. Parker became ill and began to have doctor visits with Dr. Green. Subsequently Mr. Parker’s was diagnosed, Dr. Green begun treatment on Mr. Parker for his medical condition and prescribed him 10 milligrams of pentamite.
