Nope. I sure wouldn't. I suspect that Shapiro (who is VERY opinionated
and very public about it) has almost certainly opined about Dr Jones in
the past and that it was most likely in public and that might be worthy
of investigation.

I'd be willing to bet that patients that have seen Shapiro have (been
lucky and smart enough) to go on to see Jones--and that there is
probably some history of disagreement over those cases between the two.

And THAT would probably be enough to disqualify him for bias--as he
would have prior experience and differences of opinon with Jones in
past cases of the very nature that this case that would come before the
hearing panel would be about--pediatric Lyme disease and the diagnosis
and treatment thereof.
