Governor Ted Strickland not allowing external review of Medical Board cases with no patient complaints, Hahn Loeser & Parks LLP makes millions off the false cases (Lt. Governor Fisher's firm), allowing certain physicians their complaint files at the State Medical Board of Ohio against State Law (Dr. Timothy Nice) Columbus Ohio
Governor Strickland has a FRAT-BOY ATMOSPHERE at the State Medical Board of Ohio as well as the Attorney General's Office - where female physicians get their licenses supended for disagreeing with the wrong care of themselves or not having enough aequanimitas to put up with daily sexual comments - ie in my case my fractures were left uncasted, unreduced, or casted with no padding or x-rays, changing of casts refused, blood work refused, etc - all of which HAPPENED IN 1990. And it's still being discussed at the State Medical Board of Ohio; they have nothing better to do than discuss that I MADE TOO MUCH IN 1991 by reporting bad care.
I complained in 1991, and my complaint was given to Dr. Timothy Nice of Mayfield Heights Ohio - to carry around Hillcrest Hospital and so that he could get a signature CAMPAIGN against me for disagreements with him about my own care, or lack of it, and the need for consultation/referral. My medical license was suspended in 1992, for MAKING TOO MUCH OF BAD ORTHOPEDIC CARE - something that isn't an impairment under any Ohio statute. If the Board didn't want to investigate the complaint why GIVE IT TO DR. NICE? Why not just say not enough evidence, and we'll give him an off-the-record non-punitive warning and ask he send your records? SANE STUFF, NON-PUNITIVE PATHWAY, as at many other State Medical Boards, for colleague disagreements - which happen as often as political disagreements. Governor Strickland misuses, or continues the misuse, of Ohio statutes so as not to reform corruptions/fraud at the State Medical Board of Ohio.
My medical records, from what little Dr. Nice did for me, were all over Hillcrest Hospital 1990-2, with sexual innuendo and fabricated care, letters telling him that I WASN'T INTERESTED and that HE HAD A WIFE (FACT) were published and read in the Medical Staff Office/Medical Board of Ohio, instead of hospital/patient business. Tried talking to him directly but it didn't work. My 'legal defense' has cost about $400,000 because no one knows what I did except SAY NO TO DR. NICE - who isn't nice. Hahn Loeser & Parks LLP was one of the law firms that made money on my UNENDING case -Lt. Gov Lee Fisher was a PARTNER at the time ie sharing in the profit made on my case = a case which can't be solved. I'm going to die of fracturing, from a badly/untreated metabolic bone problem, unless this ends. And I can't do more evaluations of my personality, or rehab in Ohio, when the State of Ohio licenses physicians who can't do boilerplate fracture care or blood work = physicians in Ohio, and on the State Medical Board, do not know anything except HOW TO LIE.
Dr. Resnick can't solve the problem, he doesn't know anything about women's medical care or fracture care, he covered up huge harassments of women medical students, residents in his time at CWRU/University Hospitals, let male attendings work DRUNK. Whenever a woman tried to get something improved, she was ORDERED TO AN EVALUATION, while the guys continued to do whatever was causing the problem. When women get sick, or fracture, women physicians are treated horribly. The Medical Board of Ohio is completely negligent in not addressing the HARASSMENT that daily goes on in most hospital/medical work situations, which gets worse if you get sick for women physicians. [I never got to the point of having a child in an Ohio hospital, my only 'romance' was to be Dr. Nice's obsession with me.]
The Medical Board is presently composed of foreign MDs, women DOs, Ob-Gyns = tokens of every special interest group = that know no women's medicine (Dr. Lance Talmadge), and people that simply don't care as long as they get some discipline statistics even with the fraud of not allowing a women physician care-to-function. As long as THEY can get CARE, THEY DON'T CARE.
In residency (Metro General = MetroHealth) the foreign MD grads would accost single women for dates, in elevators and on the floors during rounds, so that they could get an INSTANT permanent VISA & citizenship (so put them on the State Medical Board of Ohio??? when I wouldn't date them??? had to wipe their foreheads if they did a procedure???); the women DOs hate the women MDs in general because the standards for admission/training are DIFFERENT (Dr. Steinbergh - so put her on my case??? when she can't discuss anything medical, just bestsellers that I'm supposed to read and get something from ie ICEBOUND) -
in summary, there's no one on the PRESENT MEDICAL BOARD that I would get into a elevator with or send a patient to for consultation. Dr. Talmadge has the 'short guy syndrome,' that I tried desperately to avoid in dating or in colleague interactions - where men go into ob-gyn because they can't get the dates that they want, so then they have the women coming to them for gyn exams = these men literally hate women and do painful exams, abortions. Dr. Nice talked with my father first, rather than have me see how short he was, he sent me 3 consults first - consults that I didn't want or ask for, but he couldn't SEE that. I needed to see his resume, discuss his procedures and complications rate, know his family situation was STABLE. It's the agressive, short-guy, hit-you-before-you-know-what's-coming syndrome - and the current Board has a lot of that; they want to suspend, disgrace, discipline, publish you as impaired BEFORE any explanations or defense. And then you are going against the current getting anything straightened out; the Medical Board of Ohio doesn't admit MISTAKES.
There are boxes/pages of STUFF that I'm alleged to have done or said, nothing about patient care, and I CAN'T SAY that I didn't do/say that. I'm supposed to be punished for what Drs. Nice, Keith, Talmadge, Steinbergh, Suppes, O'Day imagined for political purposes, and the STUFF is outrageous. I'm supposed to start a suit case against the State of Ohio - which I won't live to see the end of. I'd have to be a split personality to have no patient complaints and have done that stuff only in the hearing/vision of certain physicians/colleagues = colleagues who credibility is not highly rated. Put someone on the State Medical Board of Ohio who likes women, women's care, and women being HEALTHY.
Personals aside, this is not a Board of esteemed respected physicians who are highly regarded because of practice standards, patient judgements, training at the best places, ethics, morals, publications, and/or reasons for going into medicine or osteopathy. As far as the lay members - how can they understand a complicated missed endocrine diagnosis as in my case??? when the Mayo Clinic, given misinformation, initially missed it??? I've not been able to have a MEDICAL conversation with ONE current Member of the State Medical Board of Ohio - they are obsessed with talking about DR. and MRS. NICE and my personals (which are pretty dull). The Medical Board even allowed that I was beaten up in Dr. Keith's office in 1992, allegedly because I was trying to rebreak? (how do you do that sitting down?) a wrist - so they bruised up both upper arms as badly as they could, ripped my belt off and took me outside to leave.
My orthopedics discussed NOTHING, and they tried even 'experimental' casting (Dr. Keith). University Orthopedics allows this so that they can get cases for Grand Rounds discussions. An 83-year-old woman, advised a shoulder muscle transfer at University Hospitals of Cleveland, so that she could play golf better (improve her game), was a failed 'experimental' case discussed in May, 2007 - FOUR surgeries for GOLF. An 83-year old is never going to be a TIGER WOOD.
My experimental cast didn't work and to my knowledge has never worked with the kind of fracture NEGLECT that I endured. The following was sent to recently appointed Dr. Susan Stephen (with minor changes for CONFIDENTIALITY = another word that the State Medical Board of Ohio doesn't know) - who's also not doing anything about the injustices, the fraud, and the cases that aren't cases: Susan Stephens, M.D.,
5 Severance Circle, Ste 304, Cleveland Heights, Ohio 44118.
Dear Dr. Stephens: I'd like to make an appointment to discuss my situation at the State Medical Board of Ohio with you I did nothing wrong to patients; I objected to the wrong orthopedic care done to me in 1990-2, and have been evaluated (with every psychological/psychiatric test in existence and in the pipeline) and analyzed 5 times formaking too much, not allowed proper medical care, and not allowed a life of any kind unless I admit some personality problem for disagreeing (even then getting any real care is a QUESTION) which my medical insurance won't pay for.
Women physicians, given the state of the understanding of women's medical problems in Ohio, have to be allowed to make their points in care disagreements with male physicians before they, or the patient, suffers an unanticipated uncorrectable bad result or wrong surgery. Because there are no MISTAKE LAWS in Ohio, things then get out-of-control with cover-ups, lies, campaigns, and hoping the patient (me in this case) just dies. I'm published impaired since 2004, for not going along with this political farce (so that the Board doesn't have to admit their mistake), and am in no way IMPAIRED (2 + other graduate degrees, IQ>150, but Catholic naive/trusting = my flaw). The care that I objected to was admittedly BOYS BEING BOYS, like what's currently going on at the Attorney General's Office frat party orthopedics, beer rounds, polo/polo pony shopping, office parties, dancing & bumping to Bob Marley in the OR (with a saw in hand).
At one point Mr. Dilling admitted that, about the boys, but that I just needed the Boards HELP to cope with the mess not what's in Ohio law as impairment. And I shouldn't have to lose my life for the frat boys; I DIDN'T DO THE BAD CARE. And the Medical Board is supposed to be upholding standards of care and workup - for women physicians as well as all patients. But I initially complained to get my records and to get someone to speak to Dr. Nice so that he'd STOP, so that my consultants could figure out what I had and how to salvage that didn't happen. This was just what a Residency Director/Dean of Students would have done, ie tell Dr. Nice to stop the harassments, send the records and try to help the situation.
The Chief of the Medical Staff at that time was Dr. Suppes - Dr. Nice's neighbor and drinking buddy; their wives rode horses together at the Gates Mills Hunt Club = family. My medical license was suspended as I needed a wrist EMG which had to be done at The Hospital for Special Surgery in NYC so that Ohio orthopedics wouldn't be deemed negligent or have to SEE THE RESULTS. There was an underlying endocrine problem, that everyone refused to see, finally diagnosed in 1997, 2001 and 2003. The bone density is finally coming back with treatment of the thyroiditis which is familial in my family but wasn't treated adequately or at all until 2004. Dr. Lafferty of University Hospitals refused to refill the synthroid resulting in a foot fracture in 2004 while I was walking. There was no blood work allowed in Ohio 1990-2 before the suspension of my medical license for disagreeing with the boys Dr. Nice and Dr. Keith (University Orthopedics) neither would speak with the consultants, the Mayo Clinic/Cleveland Clinic, or meet with my family and I. There was no discussion of anything after the mistakes were pretty obvious. What's advised on the State Medical Board of Ohio website certain physicians DON'T HAVE TO DO.
The orthopedic care that I got for 2 wrist fractures and a toe fracture was a JOKE, a RAIN DANCE, with the guys fooling around as I was fracturing with no trauma. They apparently thought that I was trying to get their attention and be seductive their EXCUSE. The problem started when I finally complained about one of the orthopedics, Dr. Timothy Nice of Hillcrest Hospital, as he refused to send what medical records he had on me and kept telling physicians that I was exaggerating, didn't deserve care, etc. It got out-of-control as I looked healthy, but was fracturing from a rare (1% of women) endocrine problem and they missed that diagnosis - it's still MISSED. Mrs. Nice got into the act too.
Dr. Carla O'Day dragged me into Rocky River Municipal Court when I tried to call her about the missed diagnoses in 2005, so that I could get CARE, and she was a former classmate from Medical School who was on the Medical Board in 1992 despite never finishing formal residency training. I have a recent summary of some of the problems, from . . . attached. It wasn't a patient problem, it was a diagnosis problem, and there wasn't anyway to get the workup with both orthopedics saying that I was just UNLUCKY when the fractures didn't heal. The blood work was finally done in other states at other medical institutions.
There's no way to explain this to the past Members that initially/repeatedly voted against me saying that I needed help to cope with bad care - I need the money to fix whatever can be fixed, the money to get the recredentialing courses, the money to pay back my parents & family for the false case legal fees = about $1,000,000. I NEED MY LIFE BACK. I needed the correct medical diagnosis, and until 2004 continued to fracture bones (8 total now), have bone pains, and have generalized osteoporosis on bone density it wasn't a pain syndrome (that expert was refused time to get me a medical workup in NYC).
A family member has the exact same problem, and is under REAL TREATMENT at the Mayo Clinic which the Cleveland Clinic probably wants to start or consider, but can't with all the innuendo, no decent job, lies, etc that are around. Dr. -- needs more tests and time with this situation resolved fairly (he doesn't want his license suspended for trying to treat me for what I really have).
It was a missed diagnosis, VIRTUAL DISCIPLINE, and we need mistake laws in Ohio, otherwise when the guys goof they lie and it's impossible to figure out what happened from the records then when you complain, they take your license as you can't defend yourself with everchanging CONFIDENTIAL complaints - that are NOT CONFIDENTIAL. THAT LAW IS REGULARLY BROKEN; per Governor Strickland, Lt Governor Lee Fisher, Marc Dann, etc. that's OK and LEGAL. Patients who didn't return to Dr. Nice had their names PUBLISHED in the records, so that 'confidential' law doesn't mean that the patient names won't get into public records. Meanwhile, the Ohio Board suspends your license and you can't undo all the fraud for years - exhausting the statute of limitations on the care = the original plan.
Dr. Nice also wanted personal things, preferential referrals of numbers of patients for orthopedic surgeries (including spine), and use of my office (which was actually my father's) for his patients to wait in. I only asked that he do temporary stabilization and then refer as he was next door in the office building (I'd done a lot of favors/covering up for him), and I couldn't wait in offices with the fractures unstabilized (or drive that way to the Cleveland Clinic). He then wouldn't refer, said bad things about every other orthopedic at Hillcrest & elsewhere, told other orthopedics not to help me, refused to see the fractures were serious, and refused to contemplate that there was something else causing the fractures besides my clumsiness.
The initial bone density had to be done at the Mayo Clinic in 1991 the orthopedics wouldn't order a BONE DENSITY or even physical therapy (my father ordered that after a consultant recommended it). I can meet you . . with/without a lawyer friend -. There's serious possibility/probability of my dying with an untreated hip fracture unless this ends soon. A physician friend in Rhode Island has offered his IM residency to re-check my skills. If the license is returned he can get my RI license returned.
This case needs to end with some reforms, and I need to start over somewhere else where I can get care-to-function. A Boston MGH physician has also offered since 2005 to help by putting me in his STUDY. Sincerely, *** Physicians, especially female physicians, need to get their complaint files at the State Medical Board of Ohio - for Governor Strickland to see what the problem is. Governor Strickland's CONSTITUENT SERVICES is a JOKE. You call about an unresolved problem, and despite many degress, they have you talk with an 18-21 year-old with maybe college, who has no power to do anything and no understanding of any medical term. THEY NEVER GET BACK.
Regarding the counter-complaint against me, alleging some personality problem that I was obsessed with the bad care - well, the fracture complications continued for YEARS. Dr. Nice/University Hospitals of Cleveland testify against other physicians when they miss similar problems - for EXPERT TESTIMONY money. Dr. Carla O'Day does this expert testimony as a side BUSINESS. Yet, the Medical Board was supposed to 'cover' when they missed it = MISTAKE LAWS. One woman physician at University Hospitals makes a significant living testifing when other physicians miss the endocrine diagnosis that THEY missed in my care (6 figures). Because there was no blood work, the bone pains and more fractures occurred. Simply put, I will have pain in my wrists for the rest of my life because of the care in Ohio - no casts, casting in bizarre directions. One wrist was uncasted for 3 weeks until it got into reflex sympathetic dystropy (RSD) - which Dr. Michael Keith wouldn't admit in the record = just my exaggerating. Surgeries were recommended which had no possibility of improving things; nothing can make up for SETTING THE FRACTURE WRONG TO BEGIN WITH.
And I'm not Dr. Nice's first mistake; there were so many mistakes at Geauga Hospital that I was told in 1992 (finally!!!) that he will never get back on active staff. So I'm supposed to refer patients to him??? Because he can threaten that he knows people on the State Medical Board of Ohio, and can do anything he wants to; he can see that you never practice medicine again ANYWHERE. That threat WAS TRUE. Care has to be done, have a beginning and end, so that you can heal and move on. My fractures didn't heal for years because of the endocrine problems along with NO CASTING (BOILERPLATE); they healed in significant malunions = great for a physician.
This has cost my family $400,000 in legal fees, for a physician that practiced a high standard of medical care and had no patient complaints. The costs during the initial 2 years of healing, from ENDLESS wrist fracture complications were in the 6 digits. Dr. Nice continues to get away with many patient complications, never gets reviewed, and makes up medical records. He can write that you ASKED HIM OUT ICE SKATING (with 3 serious fractures), and the STATE OF OHIO MEDICAL BOARD WILL ACCEPT THIS AS GOSPEL TRUTH -WHEN DR. NICE CAN'T SKATE. The question that isn't being answered is how much my case has cost the State of Ohio? - and the taxpayers who paid partially to educate me as a physician - thinking that if I got sick I would get the best care to 'get me back' as soon as possible to care for them.
For 2 years I wasn't able to return to full-time practice; I'd work a few days and have severe bone pains - at 35-7. Meanwhile some of that $400,000 went to Hahn, Loeser & Parks LLP - where Lt Gov Lee Fisher was a managing partner. Hahn Loeser has made MILLIONS on all the false discipline/suspensions at the State Medical Board of Ohio, and none of their former lawyers, being daily appointed to government positions in the Stickland administration in Ohio, will do anything about frauds that they profited on - in the bank and spent. Meanwhile, back in Cleveland, Dr. Nice and other at Hillcrest Hospital continue to leave wrist fractures uncasted, unreduced and uncared for while cashing checks - from Medicare to Medical Mutual. You can't disagree, and there are no objective witnesses in the offices of this OUT-PATIENT CARE. One check I gave Dr. Nice went DIRECTLY (signed over) to a furniture store in Chagrin Falls - off the top as they say. So patients can't even be sure that their payments are recorded in Dr. Nice's office. There were no women orthopedics in Cleveland at the time that would do wrist fracture for me, the ONE woman orthopedic refused to help me fearing for her own job if she disagreed. This was a case of 2 physicians who couldn't do orthopedics, couldn't do women's medicine, and couldn't refer. And I couldn't get the statistics on either.
This case needs to be solved with REFORMS, position papers on the care of a physician patient, a harassment policy at the State Medical Board of Ohio for hospitals, medical offices/facilities, etc. At the time Drs. Nice & Keith could say anything that they wanted to me; about their needs, about sex with their wife (Dr. Keith), about 'understanding' them = ANYTHING. The problem wasn't that it occurred ONE DAY, it was every day at Hillcrest Hospital - where it interfered with patient care - and continues to do so. Dr. Ed Floyd knows ALL ABOUT the campaign that went on, but won't say anything because he wants to be part of the guy group = peer pressure for 50-year-olds. To this day he won't tell the truth about the CARE that I got, the ugliness of the campain to destroy me at Hillcrest Hospital because the MISTAKES couldn't be admitted and referred; he was asked to SIGN the complaint and didn't, but he didn't complain about the campaign going on when all the involved physicians should have been thinking about their patient care. New buildings won't solve these problems at Hillcrest.
Please do something about the frat boys/sorority women at the State Medical Board of Ohio. Please do something about the $ trail, with profits to certain administrative law firms for cases where you can't get the file as to what you did, if anything, except try to live. I want to leave Ohio and get a job, this is an OHIO PROBLEM, not my personality - it didn't happen practicing in Rhode Island or Hawaii. 35 plus other states have MISTAKE LAWS, Ohio is one of the 5 worst Medical Boards and changing 2 Members, without procedural changes, won't work.

I find a few flaws in your story that makes me somewhat doubt its accuracy
"I'm going to die of fracturing, from a badly/untreated metabolic bone problem, unless this ends."
Your in charge of you own health care if their not treating properly you go to another clinic. no doctor especially one from out of state has to take orders from a board of health
"let male attendings work DRUNK"
Inn a building full of medical staff, doctors, nurses, and tech no one ever tried to tell them to go home?
"as he refused to send what medical records he had on me and kept telling physicians that I was exaggerating, didn't deserve care, etc"
you can call up a receptionist and as long as you have an Id you can get those yourself and the didn't Deserve care part is a bit too cruel for any trained doctor to accept.
"Dr. Lafferty of University Hospitals refused to refill the synthroid resulting in a foot fracture in 2004"
Synthroid is a very specialized medicine if your taking for hyperthyroidism great if not its definitely not a medication for bone density
"The initial bone density had to be done at the Mayo Clinic in 1991 the orthopedics wouldn't order a BONE DENSITY or even physical therapy"
You don't need an order to get physical therapy or a lab test done technically and there is no reason for not ordering one a a patients request its not something that the doctor really needs a lot of time to do.
"alleging some personality problem that I was obsessed with the bad care"
I'm a psych tech and that was the first thought across my mind. this whole argument is not only unbelievable but you took so much time and detail that you do seem to show signs of a obsessive disorder.

Governor Strickland is having to ask US for help (one of 5 governors) because he's got huge drain at the State Medical Board with false cases
#12Author of original report
Sat, January 03, 2009
My 'false' case at the State Medical Board of Ohio, where the psychiatric evaluation is always 'different' done in Ohio because of a 'secret' 'confidential' file at the State Medical Board of Ohio - a case which does not involve my patient care, any proveable alcohol or drugs (people can say anything in Ohio, even if you can't shop or open any cans or bottles and have no openers. . .), has cost the State of Ohio at best estimate at least $1Million dollars so far (17 years of harassments, hearings, files of hearsay and fabrications, etc). Per Tom Dilling, the last Executive Director, who in 1999 was not allowed to open these cases for 'reforms' and settle them, there were a number of false cases against physicians over many years AT THAT TIME (10 years ago).
The State of Ohio has funded a huge effort against me for complaining about fracture care standards in Ohio - which need/needed improvement long ago. My fracture results are a disgrace 3 states over on each side. Dr. Strickland, of the Indiana Hand Clinic, gave Dr. Stephen Lacey of University Hospitals Orthopedics an earful not too long ago - that this was not ok for wrist fracture results. But Dr. Lacey wasn't allowed near my fractures until too late - just the guys that didn't have the certification - Dr. Nice and Dr. Keith - were allowed to 'learn' from my case.
Currently the Ohio State Medical Board wants a sixth new right Ohio psychiatrist evaluation because I 'made too much of bad fracture care' which should never occur - in any state. My being out of physician work has cost in tax monies and office jobs. But I'm not the only false case that Mr. Whitehouse has no authority to resolve except to keep fighting and losing money. There have to be reforms, open files, procedural improvements - there can't be continuing increases in disciplines with physicians who have no patient complaints.
Please open my files and let the case resolve - stop the draining of millions of taxpayer monies with Medical Board fraud. The US should NOT give Governor Strickland any money until he cleans house in Columbus. Lt Governor Lee Fisher profited from all these false cases = the 'legal lobby' in Ohio has everything at the State Medical Board tied up in piles of lawyers and his former firm gets 'first pick' of all the innocent physicians who have to pay anyways. The woman attorney that I had there wouldn't go on Prime Time Live, but she couldn't do anything with 'confidential' files = where you can't defend yourself. Governor Stricland was supposed to reform things in Ohio - and it's just business as usual. Fire some of the lawyers at the State Medical Board, resolve some of the innocent cases with returning the medical licenses and paying for the rehab fees instead of more lawyers.

We will just have to disagree. Unlike you, I cannot bring myself to harass an apparently mentally handicapped individual just for fun, bringing up her past with reports generated by people who POSSIBLY have had specific self serving reasons to say particular things.
When a person is mentally ill, it means just that! They very well may not be able to control what they are saying or doing. Just beating on them for 'sport', which is obviously what you are doing, is very sadistic and very cruel.
Maybe someday you will finally 'mature', grow up, and think "why in the world did I even care if Rita, who may be mentally handicapped, posted those things? What made me think I needed to make her look even worse than her postings do, just for the fun of it?"
Everybody can see by your comments and link, that you are 'enjoying' this sick harassment of a mentally handicapped individual.
Someone like you, who has no evident human compassion and sadness for someone who appears this ill, must be a very special kind of person indeed!
This is my last post to you. You make me sick! Go ahead, try all you can to justify your harassment and 'stalking' of this mentally handicapped lady.
Let the Harassment continue! The readers will probably determine that you and perhaps Rita need some Psychiatric help.
Have a sick life...

Boy! You can sure rip on this poster, but you are too cowardly, too 'pigheaded', too uninformed and too 'into yourself' to acknowledge or respond to anyone else. Do you have the same mental vendetta issues as the thread author? You act very similar.
Just like a jury, everyone has a different opinion. After all, the 'report' is third party 'hearsay' to the readers of this thread, including you!
You seem to be trying to point out, using third party material, that this thread Author is falsely accusing various people. If this is so, then she is perhaps committing 'defamation'.
In your frantic 'two line' posts to discredit the thread author, YOU have YOURSELF perhaps crossed THE SAME legal line.
Let me interpret your statements from RipOffReport 384765.
'Could you be one of Case Western's biggest mistakes?'
'Is it possible that the biggest Case Western Medical School mistake was YOU?'
YOU SAID, in effect, that the above named university MAKES MISTAKES fairly often, and that this thread author is their BIGGEST MISTAKE.

Boy! You can sure rip on this poster, but you are too cowardly, too 'pigheaded', too uninformed and too 'into yourself' to acknowledge or respond to anyone else. Do you have the same mental vendetta issues as the thread author? You act very similar.
Just like a jury, everyone has a different opinion. After all, the 'report' is third party 'hearsay' to the readers of this thread, including you!
You seem to be trying to point out, using third party material, that this thread Author is falsely accusing various people. If this is so, then she is perhaps committing 'defamation'.
In your frantic 'two line' posts to discredit the thread author, YOU have YOURSELF perhaps crossed THE SAME legal line.
Let me interpret your statements from RipOffReport 384765.
'Could you be one of Case Western's biggest mistakes?'
'Is it possible that the biggest Case Western Medical School mistake was YOU?'
YOU SAID, in effect, that the above named university MAKES MISTAKES fairly often, and that this thread author is their BIGGEST MISTAKE.

Army physician: the US Army can't even get the file from the State Medical Board of Ohio to find out what Im alleged to have done (not about patients) to clear me for Army duty
#12Author of original report
Wed, May 14, 2008
The Army can't get the files to clear me for duty for 16 years - with no patient complaints. The State Medical Board of Ohio wastes physician lives and careers in PETTY PERSONAL disagreements that have nothing to do with patient care, alcohol or drugs (never done). During this time I watch Dr. Suppes down a whole bottle of wine in a sitting at drug company expense (and then try to drive), had to listen to Dr. Nice talking nonsense on the phone on Thanksgiving (whatever he was drinking), had to watch colleagues drink/down a full liquor closet during Medical Staff Meetings at Hillcrest - and I had a taste of one kind of wine after a Hillcrest MRI conference on a Saturday and was judged 'drinking' - 2 ounces. The standards are hypocritical, double standards for male and female physicians, and cruel - I didn't own a wine bottle opener at the time and couldn't use it if I had one because of the wrist fracture problems - couldn't open anything that had to be twisted or pulled - even soda. But the Army can't get the files as Dr. & Mrs. Nice, Dr. Suppes and Dr. Keith are so important to NATIONAL SECURITY that anything they say or do goes down as gospel to destroy someone else's life. This is a huge WASTE. The Federal government has to be able to get files written by Dr. Nice alleging all kinds of craziness that I disagreed with his bad care, after all he gets his files from the State Medical Board and he isn't the Army - why? Is he in witness protection, why is he being 'protected' - as every expert and lawyer has told me? Did he marry that well? Why can HE get his files against state law, and the ARMY can't get the file to judge for themselves what was going on? Why is Dr. Nice more important, more cleared, than the Federal Government? He leaves fractures to rot to excrescence, casts without padding or x-ray confirmations, refuses to change or alter casts, reduce the fracture or order physical therapy (even owning a physical therapy outfit), cashes your check at furniture stores for his personal use - why is this ok for him? And why am I punished if I say NO? This is a ripoff of orthopedic care in Ohio SUPPORTED AND ENDORSED by the State Medical Board of Ohio and its Members - I only had to say something as I suffered from this insanity, watched other patients suffer complications from his judgements, and no one else says 'boo' to Dr. Nice - they go to his parties. This is also Governor Strickland's fault as he lets the Medical Board do WHATEVER they want - they are an arbitrary board and no one is in charge of reviewing what they do or decide about a physician's career or the evidence - no one can get the evidence before it's changed in the 'confidential' file - that's only 'confidential' if you aren't Dr. Nice. This has gone on for 16 years, and there's no way to SATISFY the State Medical Board of Ohio - I don't do medicine like they do and wasn't trained to. Dr. Nice was asked to refer when I couldn't satisfy his NEEDS, habits?, or agree with his decisions - that's just normal. Could we please have an end to this so that the Army can use me at least?, and No I can't do more Ohio evaluations of my not liking Dr. Nice or Dr. Keith, or trying to get help. My Medical Mutual will not pay for this farce, and it won't end anything, it's just a time waster -5 evaluations: 3 clearing me, and 2 the state cheated on, haven't done squat. The State of Ohio wants another chance to cheat; they lose the answers to Rorschach tests and make up diagnoses that don't exist which they try to 'sell' to the lay Members on the Board that don't know any better. The Lay Members 'buy' it 'hook, line, and bait.' School children are not supposed to cheat, and yet state government is the best most skilled cheater of all, not even mentioning the cheating on one's spouse. Rehab in Ohio would just be a joke of not ordering tests or care, or ordering things like Dr. Nice - killing or disabling patients - and no malpractice insurance will pay for this exercise. Ohio is a community with too many physicians, and too many arrogant ones. The Medical Board has to have some physicians with judgment on it - which it doesn't at present - the Members will believe and endorse anything that Dr. Nice says, imagines, fabricates, or testifies = ANYTHING ie walking with pink 'bombs' = hand weights to most, being 'seductive' when you can't even comb your hair or take a shower??? But certainly, in a time of WAR, all these petty fights should cease. I have Boards in Internal Medicine, an IQ of > 150, training in Biochemistry/Tumor Biology and Statistics. The Army should love me if they were given a chance and I'd be far from Dr. & Mrs. Nice. Maybe the ARMY is reading? And I'd prefer getting shot at to talking about Mrs. Nice with Anita Steinbergh again, or getting told to read ICEBOUND (about a woman physician with a vindictive MD husband licensed by the State of Ohio - what was the message there?), or being told that she's not responsible for anything or any phone threats to me. Well having NO WAY FOR PHYSICIANS TO HANDLE MISTAKES IS A RESPONSIBILITY OF HERS - she's been on the Medical Board for over a decade and done nothing but insult the physicians that come before her. As an aside, Mrs. Nice had her first marriage dissolved by making her husband 'impaired' - so she could marry a physician and be Mrs. Dr. Nice. She rides horses, and his office says that you should 'understand him because she doesn't - that's not my job - yet all the State Medical Board can talk about when you meet with them (Anita Steinbergh) is Mrs. Nice this and Mrs. Nice that - for 16 years it's been ABOUT DR. NICE and MRS. NICE - even they should bet tired of those names. Not my patient care, not my degrees, not my care of patients - Mrs. Nice who gets anyone who bothers her declared 'impaired.' This needs to stop, the Army needs to use me if there are any recruiters or generals reading. HELP, could we please move on? It was a nightmare mistake to work with Dr. Nice (but he forced this), ask his help, etc. = a very bad nightmarish date. But at least with dates you can move on, you aren't left disabled and with chronic tendonitis/reflex sympathetic dystrophy, etc, and you can forget for one moment this mistake. For 16 years I've not been allowed to forget that I knew Dr. Nice because he sent me consults that I didn't want or ask for, forced a colleague association after seeing me out a window that I didn't want, and forced his needs upon me because he could. Could we PLEASE PLEASE have and end to this? He can't cast wrist fractures, but Hillcrest Hospital knew that before they let him go after me and try. The Medical Board knew this and should have told him to restrict his practice to what his training included - mostly hip and knee replacements - certainly not hand surgery as he can't diagnose carpal tunnel syndrome - was walking around with it and I was just 'exaggerating.' This has all been gone over hundreds of times in 16 years. The care was bad but I've healed, let me leave with my medical license. Who's insane here? Who is perseverating, repeating, obsessing; who can't leave this situation alone as a mistake in every way??? Yes the MISTAKE was to give Dr. Nice the benefit of doubt, to be too nice, too trusting, too naive, too Catholic, too easy, to be at Hillcrest - and I was only there as Dr. James Carter couldn't manage his residency, Internal Medicine Fellowships at MetroHealth (Metro General then) because of personal problems. He couldn't help you move on as everyone had to make allowances for him - and he was allowed to solve those problems non-punitively. Yet he ruined a lot of lives. I wasn't the only resident who didn't go directly to Fellowship - he spent 30 minutes spitting his lunch at me telling me to just make 'some choice.' That was the total of his effort, but Dr. Nice didn't even spend 5 minutes try to do a cast correctly, so I probaby should have been thankful to get 30 minutes. Ohio doesn't like me, but I didn't do anything wrong to to patients (the issue), and I will never fit in here, PLEASE LET ME GO get shot at.

The POINT: there is a mess at the State Medical Board of Ohio, no external reviews of decisions (by Ohio Court of Appeals or Inspector General's Office allowed) and that Dr. Timothy Nice can get his complaint files in direct violation of current state law

The POINT is well taken, and well made, that I should not have to publish this story, or situation, and the problems that the legal lobby - including my State Representative and State Senator (Matthew Dolan and Timothy Grendell) has caused in the State of Ohio by nonsensical insane laws - in this forum. But the State Medical Board of Ohio will not discuss its mistakes, misjudgments, misperceptions, nor its schizophrenic applications of ill-conceived and broken regularly for friends state laws, that do not allow MOST physicians access to their complaints at the State Medical Board of Ohio - so that they can defend themselves or so that their malpractice insurance can defend the situation. No one, to this day, knows what I did except disagree with physicians who were wrong, and a State Medical Board which shouldnt be diagnosing physicians, with no patient complaints, with diagnoses that they have no criteria for - for political reasons. The physician impairment clauses should not be used for colleague disagreements about care practices, or womens care situations, where the men (and women physicians) totally MISSED THE DIAGNOSIS which was not psychiatric nor an impairment to practice IN ANY OTHER STATE. What was done in my case, was done to protect certain physicians against suit for huge negligences, ie by declaring the injured physician-patient impaired, so that I would have no credibility in a court of law for monetary damages. It wasnt ever a question of getting money, however, just of recognition of the problems so that my bone condition/thyroid could get treated, so that Dr. Nice would stop lying and leave my office/me alone, and so that I could get on with my career (fellowship) in another state by getting my licensed released and full privileges restored. This wasnt a patient care situation, just a physician-patient situation where the physician had to disagree to save herself. Simply put, we need MISTAKE LAWS in Ohio (as in 35 other states); all the mistakes done in my care could have been corrected, or the results improved substantially, if recognized, admitted and referred within days to weeks, not YEARS as happened. Blood work shouldn't be done AFTER the licensure suspension for 'exaggerating' bone pains. But Dr. Timothy Nice doesnt have to refer, Dr. Fred Lafferty doesnt have to do blood work, and Dr. Michael Keith can do experimental casts without signed patient releases for experimental procedures. AND DR. NICE can get his complaint file from the STATE MEDICAL BOARD OF OHIO -- even for UNINVESTIGATED COMPLAINTS asking that he speak to the physician-patient that he misassessed. No medical insurance (Medical Mutual, Blue Cross/Blue Shield) will pay for endless goes at me; personality evaluations for a missed thyroid inflammation because the physicians in Ohio dont know HOW TO DIAGNOSE thyroid problems in Ohio and that includes ALL MEMBERS OF THE PRESENT STATE MEDICAL BOARD OF OHIO who dont seem to know ANYTHING about womens endocrinology = all those ob-gyns who just want to do third trimester abortions and no womens care, all those foreign anesthesiologists who only order CBCs for women patients going to surgery, all those DOs who never had to diagnose a thyroiditis - just refer and read New York Times BESTSELLERS. The training in endocrine problems at University Hospitals of Cleveland/Case Western Reserve University is and has been OUT-DATED for decades now incorrectly training physicians in thyroid problem diagnosis and treatment - since my time there. No medical insurance will pay for unnecessary fractures, which Ohio physicians/orthopedics cant cast or care for, in the setting of untreated chronic HYPOTHYROIDISM that affects bone metabolism to the point where the bones cant heal or maintain BONE DENSITY. Orthopedics have to consider the underlying BONE QUALITY and reasons for the FRACTURES in their CARE - as Dr. Greenfield has tried to teach University Hospital orthopedics and residents. Dr. Susan Stephens should know this if she studied at The University of Pennsylvania. My physician father graduated from there, and he understands what this situation represents, and how the care fell far below ANY STANDARDS, but he has not been allowed to testify. My father told Dr. Nice to CALL THE MAYO CLINIC, and I asked Dr. O'Day to do likewise. This was just negligence, misdiagnosis = a bona fide suit case that is COMPENSABLE = why I was taken off the staff of Hillcrest Hospital, ie so that the hospital wouldnt be held responsible for Dr. Nices negligences done on the property and my objections (because they wanted to sell the hospital, deficiencies and all, to The Cleveland Clinic). The TAXPAYERs of Ohio shouldnt be footing the legal bills in Columbus for this unnecessary stupid fight. It has to have cost the Ohio State Government upwards of $500,000 at this point - to defend a case against an American MD grad with no patient problems - who practiced a high standard of Internal Medicine (for Ohio). The State Medical Board of Ohio will never be able to be sued, but the current Members should be held responsible for their misjudgments, bad decisions, and frauds, and the WHOLE BOARD CHANGED with procedural reforms, Member accountability, and outside review of physician disciplines for care disagreements (I disagreed about my own WRONG care, but the Ohio State Court of Appeals couldnt get the files from the State Medical Board of Ohio as they are not Dr. Nice who gets HIS files). This STATE LAW is BROKEN REGULARLY for FRIENDS AND FAMILY. What happens in other states is that current Board Members have to resign after an opening of the records, which have already been changed in my case as admitted by Representative Trakas, and SEEING what is being investigated, acted on, and disciplined. I did NOTHING wrong for any patient and couldnt refer patients to Dr. Nice who wouldnt go this has been explained to the State Medical Board of Ohio about 100 times in 16 years; that preferentially referring to certain right physicians is illegal in every other state. Saying that it was making 'too much' -- when I nearly lost my hands (did lose range of motion), lost my medical license, and have had to endure continued fracturing, bone pains, and hypothyroid symptoms (which the Board Members can't tell you what they are), as well as public riducule and harassments - is a bit understated. That physicians dont discuss mistakes, or unanticipated results, with the patients or physician-patients in Ohio IS THE PROBLEM despite the website advice/PR. The STATE MEDICAL BOARD OF OHIO suspended my license before requiring any discussion in my case; no blood work, no discussion. Neither Dr. Nice nor Dr. Keith would sit down and discuss ANYTHING except their personal needs, Hillcrest Hospital administration wouldnt discuss the wrong handling of fractures in the ER (Dr. O'Day's problems), Dr. Nice's known deficiencies nor his trying to care for cases that he had no experience/training in (HAND SURGERY). This isnt anything that any Ohio psychiatrist can solve; the bone condition has to get recognized and treated, the FACT that I did nothing wrong to patients has to get recognized and corrected, and physicians have to be held responsible for bad results from bad care paradigms, not referring, and lying about things this includes all Members of the present State Medical Board of Ohio. Dr. Anita Steinbergh, met with the State Representative, lawyer and myself in 2000, and spent the whole time ON HER CELL PHONE, while assessing in SOUND BITES that I should just lie to end things, get along, and send patients to Dr. Nice. Needless to say, this didnt solve the problems, nor did my reading ICEBOUND as she recommended. Dr. Steinbergh cant discuss that she didnt LEARN how to recognize thyroid problems in Ohio osteopathic school, ie that she doesnt know her stuff. The State Medical Board of Ohio orders endless evaluations on situations that they dont understand; on women physicians objecting to the wrong care of themselves, and they were told in 1995-6, by one of the authors of the DSM, that this is not what psychiatric evaluations, or psychiatry, are meant to be used for. I can explain it, but they wont allow me to say anything; cant defend myself or Im defensive. This is posted in the hope that there will be some meetings, and some meaningful discussions, and some reforms before another DECADE - so that I can live and practice medicine somewhere. Just so that RIPOFFREPORT knows, the researchers at the Federation of State Medical Boards are reading my postings, but cant do anything. The state laws differ, how they are enforced differs, but none of this situation sounds OK. If Dr. Nice gets his file, then I, and EVERY OTHER physician in the STATE OF OHIO, should get their files ALSO for corrections, revisions, and to defend against the false cases that cost so much legal monies, time and resources. Governor Strickland and Lt. Governor Lee Fisher should be astute enough to deal with problems in effective ways - which IS NOT CONSTITUENT SERVICES - a wastebasket/round file for administrative messes that Governor Strickland doesn't want to hear about. Lt. Governor Lee Fisher - his firm - got money for my case because they had 'preferential' relationships with Members of the State Medical Board of Ohio. But even that couldn't do anything with my case as the woman attorney admitted. This is as corrupt as Pakistan or India, and there's an Indian physician President of the State Medical Board of Ohio currently. I don't mean to be prejudicial, but everyone is fitting their stereotypes. Please let me get back to work, most of Hillcrest Hospital Medical Staff has had to disagree with Dr. Timothy Nice, ie why he was asking me to consult and do his patient surgical clearances - it wasn't my personality flaw, it's a general personality problem at Hillcrest. There are areas of this country where physicians are really needed, women physicians are needed in the ARMY for IRAQ - and I'd like to get the bone condition stabilized and GO (ARMY).
