To the Editor: I read with interest the accounts of de Costa, Walton, and Flynn and Atkinson dealing with the Professional Standards Committee (PSC) of the NSW Medical Board and the behaviour of the Health Care Complaints Commission (HCCC).1-3 I would like to add a few comments arising from my personal experience of appearing before the PSC.
