Governor John Kasich is allowing that State Medical Board Members author & sign 'confidential' cases, not about patients, against classmates from Medical School that they want to diagnose as impaired, Columbus, Ohio
This 'confidential' complaint scam, going after the MD, DO, or podiatrist competition/classmate, was also going on at the State Medical Board of Texas until it was stopped recently by a new law. The 'confidential' physician complaint 'con' is why 48 other states at this time do not accept confidential, or anonymous, physician complaints. It matters who signed the physician complaint, and what it says - or the problem can't be solved and the conflicts-of-interest sorted out. Most Governors have figured this out without much 'help.'
Then the 'confidential' physician complaint in Ohio is allowed to be constantly changed and amended (it's legal); when one case doesn't work, another is just inserted in the blanks. The legislators & Board lawyers admit this fact. There's no dismissing a false complaint or case - no process to do this in Ohio. Once accused, the physician is damned. All the money to train that physician is down the tubes of the Ohio Board gristmill.
Members of State Medical Boards should not be allowed to author, sign, expedite or run the cases against medical school colleagues who did better than them on exams and training placements - colleagues who have no patient complaints, or psych problems with men, except for the orthopedic that wants some 'understanding' that he can't get from his wife - the Member's 'friend' - and the orthopedic who tried to fix the mess with an 'experimental' cast. Things are 'confidential,' and 'experimental,' in Ohio at the State Medical Board, and it isn't working very well for the budget.
The conflicts-of-interest can't be sorted at the State Medical Board of Ohio unless the physician complained about knows the identity of the complainers and what they said. This is especially important when the complaint involves the liability of a hospital (where the Member has privileges & staff appointments), or of a 'friend' physician of several Board Members. The Member is expected to cover the liability of the hospital and physician 'friend,' or lose appointments & privileges.
Governor Kasich, presents to be a 'smart' politician, but doesn't see the ruse - or the connections - that it is not all about pill-mill physicians. Governor Perry sort-of sees the problem, but he's too busy running around the country to fix the mess. Romney's state of Massachusetts has medical mistake laws & Harvard physicians make sure that things are not 'confidential,' ditto Rhode Island where the overflow from Massachusetts' training hospitals practice. So if the Governor complains about a physician in Ohio, that physician deserves to know that, and what the Governor has alleged - it needs discussion Governor Kasich. Romney would have his name on any complaint, notso Perry or Kasich.
This false physician 'discipline' rip-off has been going on in Ohio since at least 1990 - and one case has gone on for 19 years unresolved - because there is no real case. The MD is supposed to sue the state - which will take the rest of her life.
Experts called, or approved, by the State Medical Board knew the Member signer, and several other signers of the complaint - and guaranteed what they would say - and one admitted this to the woman physician - that he would give her a diagnosis and he did - one that didn't exist. It took bringing in a New York City DSM-expert to 'burst the bubble' of the 'fake' for the Ohio public record - but the stuff is still on the Medical Board's website. Mr. Whitehouse doesn't know that psychiatric diagnoses have 'criteria' - and he doesn't care. Mr. Whitehouse would treat any physician for what they don't have to get a 'bad MD' stat; another 'notch' on his belt to run for . . .
Experts for the Medical Board in Ohio are 'hired' only because they will guarantee a psychiatric diagnosis, or to say whatever the Board tells them to say about a physician - regardless of diagnostic criteria. The Medical Board in Ohio wants to diagnose women physicians for entities that they have no criteria for, while withholding needed medical care until the physician admits the case (the case that the Medical Board can't prove). The State Medical Board in Ohio wants women MDs treated for diagnoses that they do not have - to get rid of the competition for the stupid men.
The problem in the one case was that the Member, and her friend, missed the real diagnosis that is still untreated, and causing the woman MD to continue to have serious fractures. The current expert approved - Dr. Phillip Resnick - worked with the Board Member in residency & medical school, and knows maybe 5-6 of the signers of the woman's complaint. Dr. Resnick could not be objective if he tried. University Hospitals of Cleveland, Endocrine & Orthopedic Departments, missed the medical diagnosis also - and left the woman untreated, fracturing and with chronic bone pains.
It was a missed diagnosis, that if the woman was not an MD, she would have easily collected $Millions for in malpractice damages - there was no blood work, no care-to-function. But a physician can't sue another physician in Ohio and have a medical license leftover - that is 'paranoid' personality disorder. EVERY other state allows a physician care-to-function however, before making an assessment about an impairment - mental, medical or physical. Every other state allows physicians to heal from negligences and get the blood work to find the cause of the problem - notso Ohio.
The 'case' - and this is admitted by Mr. Richard Whitehouse the Executive Director of the State Medical Board - was to let the statute of limitations expire for all involved. The State of Ohio is the malpractice insurer for Members of the State Medical Board of Ohio and their 'friends' - friends who get their 'confidential' complaints so that they can counter-complain. The laws are broken for 'friends' - the Board admits this.
When a 'friend' of a Board Member has a complaint against them - it is not investigated. The 'friend' is given the complaint, allowed to counter-complain, and the counter-complaint is investigated - even when it is an obvious scam for the friend physician to get out of liability for admittedly bad care & boys being boys behaviors.
The State Medical Board of Ohio, despite all the hype about 'abuse,' has no provisions about sexual harassment of women (or men) physicians. The Board is a literal translation of the GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATTOO title = men [and women] who hate women. Ohio is way behind every other state in this regard, and every other regard, i.e. medical mistake laws.
The Medical Board Member, Carla O'Day MD, authored & signed the complaint, and expedited the case ahead of hundreds of cases involving physicians with multiple patient complaints. The designated expert in 1995 told the woman physician that he would 'diagnose' her, and her expert should be prepared. And he invented a diagnosis that still doesn't exist, which the Board has placed on their website - for the truly stupid Ohio constituency - people who don't have the training to see through this ridiculous nonsense. And the Governor is likewise clueless, can't see what is going on.
Classmates from medical school, can lie and be taken absolutely seriously by other Medical Board Board Members - who don't question the jealousies, the competitiveness about careers & family - who think that the Member is objective. This scam, of Members getting rid of the competition, is still going on in Ohio under Governor Kasich - it has at least been exposed in Texas. The number of cases of this is at least one, and probably many more; with 'confidential' physician complaints it is too easy to complain and destroy one's colleagues - without even one patient complaint involved.

Formal actions against Dr. Rita Kralik
#2Consumer Suggestion
Thu, December 22, 2011
You're not an MD anymore so quit using that as your ID. Your license to practice was suspended indefinitely almost 20 years ago because you REFUSED to submit to a Board ordered psychological evaluation. The evaluation was ordered because of your increasingly BIZARRE behavior. Of note was your outburst in another doctor's office where you were witnessed to repeatedly bang your wrists on a table in what appeared to be an attempt by you to re-fracture your wrists.
The entire case file is available on line from the official Ohio governmental website: http://med.ohio.gov/formala/35050161.pdf
The Ohio Medical Board License website also lists the actions taken to prevent you from practicing medicine. This can be found here: https://license.ohio.gov/Lookup/SearchDetail.asp?ContactIdnt=3038546&DivisionIdnt=78&Type=L
Every time you make one of these postings, I'm going to post the links to the Ohio governmental websites that will let readers know what REALLY happened and WHY.
Get some help Rita. You will most likely NEVER practice medicine again. Find something else to do with your life.
Your internet rants are pointless and just make us lay folk believe that the Board's action was correct and appropriate.
Here is the contact list of actions taken to suspend your license indefinitely:
