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.

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.

Intersted Person Shelby Ohio, Ohio U.S.A. 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...

Intersted Person Shelby Ohio, Ohio U.S.A. 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. This appears to me as legal 'defamation'. A jury could very well see it the same way. I think an objective reader of the above quote by you, can see that you also have serious issues and make the same mistakes as the thread author. You probably should start retracting your statements above, on this website, and on each thread you have posted on, before the attorney for the university that have you named above sees your post.

Mayfield Heights,#11Author of original report

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 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).
