Complaint Review: Governor John Kasich

Loss of medical licenses gets pretty petty in Ohio - just disagree with Dr. Nice & his buddies at Hillcrest Hospital and they will write a 'confidential' complaint - all the neighbors & their wives.  'Confidential' complaints have no rules in Ohio - anyone can do one - for any reason; doesn't have to be about the physician's patient care, can be their personality, and the signer can be a polo pony for all the Medical Board checks on the credentials of the complaint signers.  

Because the complaint is 'confidential' - you will never be able to clear you name and get on with your life - and Dr. Nice knows this.  But Dr. Nice can get his 'confidential' complaints to clear his name against State Law for some reason - it's privileges for ONE in Ohio under Governor Kasich.  Governor Kasich expects the Medical Board will reform itself. 

Governor Romney apparently agrees with this - and his wife - as Governor Kasich & his wife agree.  So 'confidential' complaints will be the rule at Medical Boards come November 2012 if the Republicans carry the US?  Governor Kasich was a keynote Speaker. 

Two years ago, Governor Kasich ran on a platform to clean up the corruptions at the State Medical Board of Ohio - and he has done literally NOTHING to do so in TWO years - so it's all talk.  Nothing Mrs. Romney can say to women will get any woman MD voter support with this gig = 'confidential' complaints are a way to get free sex from a woman MD (it's just billed as a personality disorder if she doesn't do it).  Anita Steinbergh DO has gone along with this charade for 20 years now.

MD Internists are in demand in most states & rural Ohio, but Mr. Whitehouse will go along with woman medical licenses being taken for 20 years because the woman MD is not supposed to mention what Dr. Nice care really is - the care that got him kicked off of Geauga Community Hospital.  The woman MD sans a license is supposed to refer to Dr. Nice, and let the Medical Board know all her medical history and who she dated, or slept with - etc. - for Dr. Nice's purposes.  It's all about gossip.  And if the woman MD isn't experienced enough - then she's just paranoid of the 'boys' and what diseases they might carry on the side - so she needs therapy mandated from the Medical Board to get with the Ohio program. 

It's all about nonsense in Ohio.  And what woman MD would/could be seductive with Dr. Nice?  His wife can't manage it even with the bonus MD attached to her mailing address.  The problem is that the Medical Board has never seen Dr. Nice in person, or in a picture - and a picture is worth a 1000 words.  Google a picture of Dr. Nice standing all of 5'5" with not much in the way of hair on top.  He's so unappealing that he has to threaten to get it 'on the side,' and the Medical Board of Ohio is in business with him for this - Mr. Whitehouse doesn't deny it in 7 years and 4 months. 

Mr. Whitehouse is apparently not authorized to end unjust cases that were carried on before he was appointed (stacks of them).  Those physicians just are supposed to go to Dr. Resnick for a 7th psychiatric evaluation for 8 hours/2 days at $5000/appointment. 

These physicians have/had no patient complaints, practice higher standards of Internal Medicine than usually go in Ohio, and yet aren't allowed a medical license because they didn't/don't handle disagreeing with Dr. Nice the right way.  Dr. Nice interactions are the litmus test for Medical Board licensure in Ohio.

Dr. Nice, on the Staff of Hillcrest Hospital in Mayfield Heights, practices orthopedics so badly that most of the 700+ physicians on staff have to disagree with him if they have anything to do with him.  Only his Gates Mills neighbors, Carla O'Day MD, and physicians promised staff or ER privileges will sign complaints for him - and they don't know the physician that he complained about - they don't have to know the physician. 

Carla O'Day MD talked to one of these woman physicians, that she signed a complaint against, only ONCE in 32 years - on the phone because she couldn't bother to talk with her in person.  And the woman MD had to do Carla a FAVOR or lose her hospital privileges - which were lost anyways with Carla's signature.  The woman MD did the favor for CARLA O'DAY MD, but it wasn't enough.    

In Ohio, it is ever stranger who gets their medical license suspended: physician complaints about colleagues are the main item on the menu these days.  In Ohio, it doesn't matter if you don't know the physician that you sign a complaint against - it's 'confidential.'  There are no rules about WHO can complain under Governor Kasich - and Governor Romney needs to do something about this, or all Mrs. Romney's good intentions won't persuade one woman MD to vote Republican come November.  

In Ohio everything is done for Dr. Nice: Dr. Nice can complain about any physician and see that they never practice medicine AGAIN in ANY state - he tells you this - and the Ohio Medical Board insists that you guarantee to refer him patients as a condition of re-licensure/licensure.  

You can complain about a physician in Ohio if: (1) you exist with a body (doesn't matter the IQ level or the neurological impairment, or the criminal record); (2) you don't have to know the physician or have ever seen or spoken to them - just be promised a reward, contract for business, real estate, donation, etc, that you expect to collect on; (3) you are a neighbor of Dr. Nice, or party with him at the Gates Mills Hunt Club; (4) you were introduced to your wife by Dr. Suppes (Dr. Botti); (5) if you drink alcohol to excess on week nights, or at Medical Staff Meetings, in front of the woman MD (Dr. Suppes & Dr. Bash); (6) if you bump, rump, and hug the nurses in the OR and don't want the woman MD who saw it to say anything (Dr. Tozzi - whose wife ought to be better informed); (6) if you spoke with the physician once in 32 years on the phone and they did you a favor (Dr. O'Day); or (7) if you are on the Staff of Hillcrest Hospital and need ER privileges = something that Dr. Nice can provide.

Time to re-visit 'confidential' complaints as every other state BUT Ohio has done in Republican Administration real-time, time for some reforms in Ohio if Romney wants to carry Ohio.
