The reason for his creation of the NBO back in the 90s was because of a disagreement with a new policy of the ABO that exempted older doctors from being recertified every 10 years. 

"I thought this was hypocritical and unjust for the older ophthalmologists to exempt themselves from the recertification exam," he writes. "... Is it fair that the ophthalmologist down the street can claim board certification, without renewing it, but that a younger ophthalmologist, who passed the same boards, is disallowed?"


Seems like a legitimate gripe.

Indeed I've been taken to task for saying the same about him.

However it was not quite as legitimate as it seems.  The idea being that it was equally unfair to make doctors who had lifetime approval to suddenly have to renew every ten years and that as the older doctors retired everyone WOULD be under the same rules.

Paul formed a board with his wife and father in law.  Approved himself and then the board never met again.

He may do good deeds occasionally but he is childish as the current thread shows.
