At least 49 doctors employed by the Veterans Administration have had their licenses suspended, revoked or restricted, the American Medical Assn. said in a preliminary report on its review of VA medical credentials. The AMA said the 49 were among 17,000 doctors whose licenses have been screened so far, but that the standings of about 77,000 others have yet to be checked. The 49 physicians will be fired if the license irregularities are confirmed, a spokesman for the VA physicians’ association said.
