4. Dr. Magee has not regularly practiced medicine fora considerable length of time and is not current ineither his medical knowledge or clinical skill;

5. Evidence shows that Dr. Fleury, even though hetestified that, in his opinion, reinstatement ofDr. Magee's license to practice medicine would bereasonable, has seen Dr. Magee on only twooccasions, has not taken a longitidunal history ofDr. Magee, and was essentially unaware of Dr. Magee'slengthy history of antisocial behavior;
