IN BRIEF

Concord, N.H.
The state Board of Medicine has voted to dismiss its disciplinary case against a doctor.
The doctor, Terry Bennett, was accused of telling a patient she was so obese that she might only be attractive to black men and advising another to shoot herself after brain surgery. ... [This decision] lets stand a judge's decision that Bennett was within his rights to say things that might be offensive.

Wow. I know some doctors don't have a good bedside manner, but... wow. I support the judge's decision, though. He does have the right to say whatever he wants. And his patients have a right to picket his office and switch to another doctor.
