Regarding peer review

I, too, have had misgivings on the practice of "peers."  The practice in
question in my situation is the "alleged" falsification of clinical
experience from a candidate sitting for the exam.  This suspicions
surrounding this candidate was reported to the examiner's board and all they
said was that the candidate's paperwork was in order and they couldn't do
anything about it.  My question: What good does it do to report or have a
self-governing policy?  I came by my clinical hours by hard work and several
years of learning and I am a little insulted when this kind of thing can
happen.  I can only hope we can have more dignity than some "other" health
care organizations and protect the public by taking complaints more seriously.
