4 a. (1) There shall be a medical board of three physicians. One of such
5 physicians shall be appointed by the board and shall hold office at the
6 pleasure of such board, one shall be appointed by the commissioner of
7 health and shall hold office at the pleasure of such commissioner, and
8 the third shall be appointed by the commissioner of citywide administra-
9 tive services and shall hold office at the pleasure of such commission-
