Dr. Church loses final appeal at hospital. Board of Directors upholds
physician’s expulsion for telling the truth about high-risk LGBT behavior to
colleagues

| Dr. Paul Church |
The cave-in at the major Boston Harvard-affiliated hospital
is complete. The Board of Directors of Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center
(BIDMC) has formally notified Dr. Paul Church that they are upholding his
expulsion from the hospital and that his medical privileges there are
terminated.
His crime? As MassResistance has reported, Dr. Church,
a urologist who is also on the Harvard Medical School faculty, voiced concerns
to his colleagues about the hospital's aggressive promotion of LGBT activities.
He pointed out the long list of serious medical risks -- and also moral issues
-- associated with those behaviors.
The hospital never disputed the truth of Dr. Church's
statements. Nor did they claim that he ever discussed this with patients or
treated them differently. Instead, the hospital took extraordinary steps first
to silence him and then to expel him on a ludicrous charge of making
"offensive" remarks. Over months of hearings and appeals, the
hospital wouldn't relent.
In September Sean Ryan, MassResistance director of
communications, was our guest and told our listeners the Dr. Church story. See
our earlier post.
