Governor John Kasich State Medical Board suspending the medical licenses of women MDs for objecting to the wrong care to themselves - admittedly wrong care done by physicians not certified - with no patient complaints; Columbus, Ohio
Things at the State Medical Board of Ohio are a nightmare and horror of injustice. If you call Governor Kasich, he can intervene for pill-mill physicians, but not the stacks of physicians falsely accused of confidential complaints that are never verified. It's like n**i Germany at the State Medical Board of Ohio. Board Members have their classmates from Medical School destroyed - anyone that did better than them on a test - Carla O'Day MD did this to her classmates from Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine, anyone that studied, who she hated. The false complaints that she signed, while a Board Member, have never been reviewed. And she had to resign after accepting a position at a hospital that she got reprieved for bad orthopedic care. Board Members accept favors for cases - it's just all confidential. No review, no facts, and no justice, fairness or due process - it's not even legal in Ohio.
Physicians have licenses taken for no patient complaints - because colleagues are jealous that they practiced a higher standard of medical care than the competition can. Women who can pass their Boards of Internal Medicine have their licenses suspended, by the guys that can't pass the tests. Anyone can file a 'confidential' complaint, only friends of Board Members get their complaints and get to counter-complain.
It's a 'Reign of Terror' that Governor Kasich says he can't do anything about. But Governor Kasich can ask for a review of cases at the State Medical Board that are unresolved after 7 years - the statute of limitations in just about EVERY other state. Governor Kasich has intervened about pill-mill physicians, making special laws, pressuring the Medical Board to act. But the innocent physicians caught in the pile of stats, he does nothing about - saying he doesn't have to. But it reflects poorly on Governor Romney.
Governor Kasich needs to review all the cases at the State Medical Board unresolved after 7 years with no patient complaints - cases where the Ohio State Court of Appeals has tried to throw the case out 19 years ago. This is a disgrace, and poor government.
Medical mistake laws are needed so that when physicians see, or experience, bad care - there is a way to refer, consult and get the patient cared for. With the State Medical Board of Ohio - everyone lies including Governor Kasich.
Physicians are straight-out told to lie to get their licenses back. What lie to tell is the problem?
