[I] n my judgment, no reasonable panel in the position of the FTPP could have reasonably concluded that there were factors outweighing the powerful factors pointing against the admission of the hearsay evidence... The means by which the claimant can challenge the hearsay evidence are... not in my judgment capable of outweighing those factors...

The more serious the allegation, the greater the importance of ensuring that the accused doctor is afforded fair and proper procedural safeguards.
