Complaint Review: Governor John Kasich - Columbus Ohio

Governor Kasich knew, in taking office as Governor of Ohio, that there were SERIOUS problems at the State Medical Board of Ohio with abuse of administrative privilege(s), changing rules in mid-case, collecting sexual & dating histories on women MDs for laughs (they take days of testimony on this in Columbus at taxpayer expense - to embarrass the women MD into a false settlement - that the Board will only stop if they sign a pile of lies), ordering of sequential psychiatric 'evaluations' on women MDs who disagreed with bad orthopedic care practices, threats to women physicians to admit the Medical Board's case (whatever the 'case of the day' was), misuse of experts to testify falsely and make up diagnoses on physicians - diagnoses that didn't exist, but that the Medical Board would require treatment of or publish on their website. 

The Medical Board of Ohio is able to publish total fabrications, false diagnoses, and results of tests that they cheated on (from drug to Rorschach to personality testing) - on their website.  Confidential physician complaints are never verified for facts, or that the signers knew the physician.  Nothing is true on that website except that Mr. Whitehouse exists, that Dr. Nice thinks that women MDs are there to supply needs that his wife 'doesn't understand,' and that Carla O'Day MD has problems with other women MDs because she skipped so much class in Medical School and then was appointed to the State Medical Board of Ohio - when if the Governor had checked with the Medical School Deans, he would have found out that it wasn't such a good idea to have Carla O'Day MD on the Medical Board.  But then who checks with Medical School Deans?  

Lance Talmadge MD has been a big 'pusher' on these evaluations, and after the 5th one - they are emotionally damaging per US psychiatric experts.  One of the US top experts on personality disorders from Columbia-Presbyterian in New York City, told the Medical Board - IN COLUMBUS IN 1995 - to stop doing these 'serial evaluations' on women MDs - because the EMOTIONAL DAMAGE would be so severe that even a US expert psychiatrist would not be able to 'repair' it - an expert co-author of the Diagnostic & Statistical Manual of Psychiatry would not be able to undo the Ohio personality damage to women MDs serially evaluated for years.  But the Medical Board of Ohio does not have a Plan B.

Dr. Talmadge - being an Obstetrics & Gynecology person specializing in 3rd trimester abortions - of course ignored that warning.  Some cases at the Medical Board of Ohio are into >5 psychiatric evaluations on physicians with no patient complaints & counting - to try to 'find a case' after 20 years of abusing the physician for sport - for no reason.  Dr. Nice's patient charts are never investigated, but women MDs have every chart pulled - for nothing to be found.  Dr. Talmadge at one point was writing letters even when he wasn't confirmed to stay on the Medical Board. 

In the 1990s, the Ohio State Medical Board paid a series of experts to falsely testify in one case, with the experts straight-out telling the physician that they would testify falsely, and be able to collect money for this.  Just like Dr. Nice can 'break' a woman MD so that she never practices medicine again - ANYWHERE. 

The Ohio State Medical Board pays for the diagnosis that they want - not for the facts.  And then they want MD physicians to pay for a 6th, 7th or 8th evaluation until they get the 'right' psychiatrist to justify what they did.  New right Ohio psychiatrists are a dime-a-dozen; the Ohio State Medical Board can always find another, and another.  But the physicians at that point don't have a job, and all medical insurances are gone in the confusion.  Physicians need to keep their jobs UNTIL the Medical Board finds a legitimate case - not have licenses suspended when there is no threat to patient care and an office of patients - that will then go back to Dr. Nice for more abuse & bad orthopedic results?  One woman MD had to supply his office with a stethoscope for BPs, sign for all his drug samples, babysit his patients when he partied for lunch, and it was her license taken that she would not do more for free? 

The physician had no patient complaints, but had disagreed with wrong care of fractures and no workup being allowed.  The orthopedics were playing polo, partying, doing Beer Rounds appearances, testifying falsely but not able to order even physical therapy for the woman MD - her father had to do that.  When male Ohio MDs can't order physical therapy, but can testify before the Medical Board for hours about a woman MD being 'crazy' that she expects them to do their MD jobs, there is a problem. 

Governor Kasich YOU are the Authority that has to pick up the phone: The Governor has failed to do anything responsible - and threatens to call 'the authorities' when you call his office - with him being THE AUTHORITY - when you call that the Medical Board won't answer their phones.  Mr. Whitehouse hasn't answered his phone in about 8 years, and Benton Taylor has phone number for you to 'leave a message' and he'll 'get back' - sometime in the next decade.  And WHO IS BENTON TAYLOR?  AND WHAT ARE HIS QUALIFICATIONS?  Is he being sent to an introductory beginner course on Medical Board Management? Or just learning to answer the phone and maybe remember a case?     



While Governor Kasich is not responsible for the false actions of the State Medical Board of Ohio over the years previous to his Administration - and even the Ohio Speaker's Office admits the serious fake discipline problem of Ohio physicians - Governor Kasich is responsible for handling the problem and getting the physicians back to work.  Governor Kasich is responsible for BEING THE AUTHORITY - not calling some 'authority' in. 



The problem is so bad, and has gone on so many years, that the just settlements to the physician's falsely accused would bankrupt Columbus & Ohio government overnight.  MR. WHITEHOUSE is responsible for continuing false cases through 2 administrations, and having an office that is never responsible for anything.  Most physicians would settle for 'clearance' and getting back to work - but then you have to get the Medical Board office on the phone to have a resolution, meeting, or discussion.  While physicians are supposed to DISCUSS, Mr. Whitehouse can't be bothered - just send the woman MD to psychiatric evaluation 6 or 7 - whichever one that it is. 



Governor Kasich's office says that he 'will not review' these past cases,' 'will not do anything' about them, and he'll call in 'the authorities' if you ask about no one at The State Medical Board of Ohio ever doing anything but taking physician licenses without a case.  No reasons are given, just that Governor Kasich is a jerk, can't do his job, and can't even speak with a woman who has more degrees that he'll ever get.  Could someone please tell him that he is the 'AUTHORITY?'  And how does he not have the ability to speak with a wronged woman MD when he could speak with diners at Bob Evans during his gubernatorial campaign?  Maybe the woman MD needs to hang out at BOB EVANS.  Asking to speak with Governor Kasich on the phone, when you hear his laugh in the background - he has time to joke and play games - is a Taylor Swift song writing moment.
