Peer review in medicine is designed to ensure quality care and professional accountability. However, Dr. Tracey O’Connell sheds light on the practice of "sham peer reviews," where personal biases or institutional politics drive unjust targeting of physicians. These incidents often involve fabricated complaints, lack of evidence, and systemic gaslighting, disproportionately affecting women, minorities, and marginalized groups.

Dr. O’Connell advises physicians to trust their instincts, seek healthcare-specific legal assistance, and document all interactions. Organizations like Physician Just Equity and AAPS provide resources for those facing sham peer reviews. The conversation underscores the need for systemic reform to protect both doctors and patients in the evolving medical landscape.

Tracey O'Connell, MD is a self-described "recovering physician" who expanded her career in radiology to being an educator, speaker, and coach, fostering positive self-worth and sustainable well-being with teens, physicians, and LGBTQ+.

She is a certified facilitator of expressive writing and Brené Brown's shame resilience programs. Her change of direction came after many years of feeling "not enough" as a person, a physician, a parent, or partner. She learned that helping people FEEL better helps them feel BETTER. She has found that reflective writing gives us access to who we really are, helps us gain trust in ourselves and be kinder to ourselves, culminating in a more authentic and wholehearted way of living and belonging to the world.
