No sane medical doctor would consider professionally reviewing another medical doctor's case without first consulting his own private attorney.
Without personal legal representation, a medical doctor reviewing another doctor's case and then making a professional judgment and public statement based upon that review, could easily become a defendant in a libel case.
happens every day. it is called a second opinion.

One of my newborn kids caught something pretty serious before they came home from the hospital. Getting a medical opinion from any doctor on how it happened was -- impossible.
BTW, my kid got better.
