"Chelmsford Physician Faces Professional Disciplinary Measures"
The Massachusetts Board of Registration in Medicine has admonished Dr. Mark Gilchrist, a pediatrician from Chelmsford, for malpractice in the care of a 2-month-old infant in 2012, leading to the child suffering developmental delays and vision deficits. The board cited multiple failures in the infant's care, including not properly addressing dangerously low body temperature and blood sugar levels. Gilchrist has been ordered to complete additional medical education but faces no fines or license restrictions. He acknowledges the board's decision and has completed the required training, emphasizing his commitment to quality care.
