Support letter for Dr. John LittellApril 19, 2023 Re: Board certification of John Littell, MD To Whom It May Concern: As physicians and scientists we note with concern the disciplinary action by the American Board of Family Medicine, dated March 16, 2023, suspending the board certification of John Littell, MD, justifying this arbitrary and unwarranted action on the grounds that Dr. Littell allegedly disseminated "medical misinformation" via public channels. The ABFM's letter notifying Dr. Littell of the disciplinary action not only fails to demonstrate adequate grounds for such punishment, but is itself riddled with scientific errors and inaccuracies, which could be considered "medical misinformation" in their own right. In drawing your attention to these misstatements and false claims, we request an immediate reinstatement of Dr. Littell's board certification as well as a public apology to Dr. Littell, whose long service as a conscientious clinician is reflected in his sterling professional reputation.
This support letter was spearheaded by Erik Sass in collaboration with a wide range of medical professionals and scientists, in response to an unwarranted decision by the American Board of Family Medicine to revoke the certification for Dr. John Littell, and was signed by more than 150 medical professionals and scientists from all around the world. The support letter responds to this letter that was sent to Dr. John Littell by the ABFM. Other links: |
