Complaint Review: Governor John Kasich

The idea in Ohio is not to admit medical mistakes - to just lie about things so that the mistakes keep happening - to MD and regular patients - to not mention mistakes = the 'elephant in the room.'  And when these mistakes happen to a woman physician - who might have a liability case - then her medical license should be taken so that she gets counseling to not sue.  Women MDs in Ohio need the Medical Board's help, not to get good care and improve care, but to not mention the mistakes and harassments.  It's still a conspiracy of silence in Ohio.  

Hillcrest Hospital, in Mayfield Heights Ohio, will take physician staff privileges after physicians goof on a physician-patient - the privileges of the mistreated physician-patient.  It's about getting away with 'murder' in Ohio - making it look 'psychiatric' that the patient asked for bad care or had a faked psych diagnosis and so didn't 'deserve' care.  While you can't find an orthopedic to correctly cast a fracture, you can always find a psychiatrist with an empty office in Ohio.  Or the patient was 'seductive' with fractures swollen to excrescent protuberances - how could anyone be seductive that way?  What's going on at the State Medical Board in Ohio is beyond anything 'medical.' 

Medical licenses are presently taken in Ohio to allow the statute of limitations to expire on the Dr. Nice care that goes on = the really bad care where the physician just can't do anything, even transfer the patient for consultation, right.  Mr. Whitehouse has a standard line about 'statutes of limitations expiring' - on medical negligence and wrongful Board actions.  It's a cesspool in Columbus with all the piles of 'fake' suspensions at the State Medical Board - the defense attorneys don't even want to go near the place for the fraud.  It's about notches on Mr. Whitehouse's belt - for whatever he's running for.   

The irony - if the medical mistakes in Ohio were admitted, transferred, and appropriate expert consultation obtained - there would be be little to sue for in most cases; just admit the wrong dose of medication, the cast that didn't have padding, the blood work that was lost or never processed correctly - but you can't do that in Ohio as the boys have to be boys. 

That's the problem in Ohio under Governor Kasich, and Richard Whitehouse Executive Director of the State Medical Board, lies and more lies - boys instead of men.  'Confidential' physician complaints make it easy to say that the physician-patient just didn't handle the mistakes well - blame the physician, who was already a 'victim' of bad care, and make her a victim twice.  Makes a lot of sense? 

Actually, that is the responsibility of the State Medical Board to 'handle' - to publish medical mistake guidelines, instead of sexual innuendo, hearsay, and R-rated 'crap' on their website.  How to deal with medical mistakes, or unanticipated results should be a topic on the home page - how to approach the physician and get his/her help in getting to a consultant or expert in a timely way - so that patients don't have to file 'confidential' complalints.  The form on handling medical mistakes or bad results should be on that page. 

And the Ohio legislature should be doing something about medical mistake laws and getting better physician candidates to apply to be on the State Medical Board.  In a Republican administration, it shouldn't be a third trimester abortion MD as one of the ob-gyns - especially not one who devised and perfected the procedure where you suck the brains from an essentially live neonate capable of life until Dr. Talmadge went at the case - it's pretty close to murder - which is why Dr. Talmadge likes to leave women physicians without medical care when they object to admittedly bad care = murder2.  Dr. Talmadge's approach is to suck the brains - like the dementors in Harry Potter - so women MDs victimized by bad care need to have their brains sucked out by a new right Ohio psychiatrist skilled in the procedure. 

But trying to 'kill' the physician who knew about the malpractice negligence - as she experienced it herself - is not the answer.  There are other woman patients who will fracture from other reasons than trauma, and the bone workup needs to be done on those women too - so some physicians in Ohio need to learn about not making this mistake.  Nothing that a woman MD has is something that won't be seen in a pile of other women - or missed in those women because it was allowed to be missed & mistreated in women MDs.  Standards are set in the care of MD patients - or the lack of care.

Not allowing blood work should be done to all the woman attorneys at the State Medical Board of Ohio - see how they like it when they can't get thyroid function tests, fertility tests, and just a blood count once in awhile.  Maybe Mrs. Kasich would like to try this Ohio brand of medical care?  Carla O'Day MD, and Anita Steinbergh DO, make sure they get their blood work - and make sure that their competition doesn't get blood work - that their competition isn't allowed to get married and have one child.  Jealousy or just plain 'mean' women?    

When women MDs get their licenses taken for objecting to the wrong care - they don't 'deserve' blood work in Ohio - even though they ordered it on every patient that needed it and had no patient complaints.  Because they are made poster token 'bad physicians,' they can't even get the care that they gave to every other patient?  The face of 'bad physicians' in Ohio is really just a woman MD 'caught' in the system - she complained to get her own medical records to the consultants - records that the erring orthopedics would not send. 

In Ohio, women MDs, criticized & suspended by the State Medical Board of Ohio, don't have to get blood work for decades - except if a concerned physician out-of-state notices the problem - so that the falsely accused women physicians get really ill and will hopefully sign anything for the Medical Board.  Neglect of medical care is done so that women physicians will admit the false case that the State Medical Board accused them of.  There's no way to admit and re-license a 'mistake' in Ohio - but most other states have this pathway.  And lies don't improve medical mistakes, or reform the State Medical Board.   

The point being: that no physician should be signing anything at the State Medical Board with 'confidential' complaints - that freedom to confront your accusers should be an integral part of any investigation, hearing or discipline of the State Medical Board.  Governor Kasich should be able to support this policy of transparency at the State Medical Board of Ohio.  But because physicians in Ohio appear to be all on the wrong drugs, or just constantly thinking of sex, nothing is as it should be.
