From your link: ... Dr. West served the medical community in many other ways: as Kapi`olani Hospital’s Chief of Staff for a number of years, as president of the Hawaii Medical Association in 1963....
That biography of Dr. Rodney West that you linked to did not exist in January of 2009. I know, I looked all over Web then. It's part of the effort to re-write history or mislead the reader. You'll notice that it doesn't say when or how Dr. West played Chief of Staff at Kapi'olani hospital or that he retired in 1956. It's a written vagary to lie or to mislead the reader.
Here's an honest bio not tinged by political BS by the left. The screen shot below of Dr. West's bio was taken only hours after that women from Buffalo story broke where it states Dr West stopped delivering babies in 1956.
"And other things, he retired from the practice of medicine." Then in 1963, West became the president of the Hawaiian Medical Association. From 1975, and he founded and presided over the American College of Physician Executives.
