Controversy
According to Medscape’s Malpractice Report, 83% of all medical specialists in women’s health have been sued at least once during their career (Medscape Report.com). Reportedly, Dr. Ian Hardy was accused of alleged misconduct with a patient in the operating room, six months before his planned retirement. Despite his defenders pointing out that this was highly unlikely amidst at least five witnessing surgical ancillary staff in the operating room (nurse review here) and despite the absence of any such reports from the thousands of his other surgical patients (drianhardyreviews.com), Dr. Hardy chose to voluntarily resign from the medical board. Faced with spending his retirement savings on exorbitant legal costs for unfounded allegations versus expediting by only six months his previously planned imminent retirement with a voluntary resignation, with reported difficulty and reluctance, Dr. Ian Hardy chose the latter. In spite of the media’s vigor to help their own causes, patient allegations were never corroborated with any credible evidence.
