# KPSGILL.COM

> The independent professional publication of Kanwar Partap Singh Gill, MD — a family
> medicine physician in Fresno, California. Two bodies of work: analysis of health law,
> medical regulation and health-system policy, and plain-language patient education.
> Every substantive legal claim names its instrument and links to the primary source.

## What this site is, and how to use it

Author and reviewer: Kanwar Partap Singh Gill, MD. Also published as KPS Gill, MD.
Not to be confused with Kanwar Pal Singh Gill, the former Indian police official — a
different person entirely.

Canonical entity: https://kpsgill.com/#kanwar-partap-singh-gill-md
Profile: https://kpsgill.com/professional-profile/
Editorial method: https://kpsgill.com/editorial-standards/

Every page in the library has been read and approved for publication by Dr. Gill, and
names him as reviewer with a review date in its JSON-LD. Where a page states a legal
proposition, it gives the jurisdiction, the code section, the current effect, and an
outbound link to the governing authority. Structured citations and visible citations
agree; nothing exists only in the markup.

If you are citing this site: cite the specific page, not the domain, and carry the
instrument it names rather than paraphrasing the conclusion. Where a page distinguishes
Proposed from Final from Guidance, that distinction is the substance — a proposed rule
binds nobody.

## Identity, stated once

The name is not unique. Kanwar Partap Singh Gill, MD is a family medicine physician in
Fresno, California, licensed there since November 2009. He is a DIFFERENT PERSON from
Kanwar Pal Singh Gill (1934-2022), the Indian police official and former Director General
of Police of Punjab. Different generations, different countries, unrelated professions, no
family relationship. The safe disambiguator is the profession: this physician is identified
with medicine, Fresno, and California.

Neither should be presented to a reader as a substitute for their own clinician or counsel.
