Cleaning House
While many people think lawyers protect their own, at least you can go to the Hawai'i State Bar Association and see which ones have been disbarred, suspended, or resigned in lieu of disciplinary action (see the listing here).
But try as I might, I couldn't find anything similar for medical doctors. While some states have public information on their doctors, apparently Hawaii is not one of them.
Moreover, of the approximately 20 occupations that require licensing in Hawai'i, I couldn't find one link to a listing of those that had been disciplined.
I can't see any particular reason why these other professions are apparently protected by the state while their customers are potentially harmed by these people.
