Governor Kasich knows the case, Ohio legislators have admitted that the 'confidential' & case have been changed many times over 19 years, while trying to find a case against the woman MD with no patient complaints. Former Representative Dolan advised suing the State of Ohio, but no lawyer knows what to put in the complaint, and the State of Ohio is broke. The Ohio Court of Appeals could not hear the case as they could not get the file - they told the Medical Board to stop things in 1993; that it was a colleague-colleague fight over care that went wrong on a woman physician, and it was not a discipline 'case' of her.
No one knows what the case is really about, to this day, except not her patient care.'Confidential' physician complaints at Medical Boards can be changed = the problem with 'confidential' complaints is that no one sees them in a legal sense, so they can't be admitted into evidence and frozen as to content at any one point in time. They are in perpetual flux, so that the State Medical Board is never liable for any mistake in investigating the complaint for longer than 5 minutes - you can't fix the complaint. The signers & content can change, allowing another go at things without the reason given - for decades. One for Team Kasich.
For each 'confidential' change, which the lawyers cannot get ahold of, the woman MD is ordered to another psychiatric evaluation for her re-licensure = GOES in Ohio = to try to find a problem with her life or personality - her medical care was beyond reproach.
Her disciplinary crime: She complained about a physician who had 'friends' on the State Medical Board of Ohio after trying to get him to DISCUSS, send records, and sign-off on her care for over 6 months - in 1991. Male MDs in Ohio don't want to discuss. And she didn't send him enough referrals, allow him to use her father's office & staff for free, or 'understand' him because his wife didn't = a valid Medical Board complaint in Ohio in the 1990s - when harassment laws did not exist. This case antedates workplace harassment laws - it would not happen in today's world.
There were no patient complaints about her, but she had an office full of complaints about Dr. Timothy Nice - who had the friends on the State Medical Board of Ohio. He piled his furniture in front of her office door, sent a stale 'Angel Food' cake for Christmas, and told the rest of Hillcrest staff that he found her 'seductive' with two swollen deformed wrist fractures. The guy was on drugs?
The complaint - she made too much of his bad care - care that should not have been allowed in Ohio in 1991; she should not have had to complain if Ohio had been up-to-date regarding orthopedic practice standards. The problem, the endless psychiatric 'goes' that have never gone on in recent history except in Communist states, in Hitler's Germany, or in Vietnamese POW prisons. They are 'goes' that no medical insurer will cover, and completely 'fishing expeditions' to justify Dr. Nice and keep him out of malpractice claims. The problem: there is a limit to the number of goes that a human being can undergo without severe emotional damage. No limit to the changes to the 'confidential' physician complaint however.
The case needs to be opened for reforms as was suggested in 1999. The woman physician is dying of fractures from an untreated bone condition - the physicians at CCF will not help her lest their own medical licenses have any problem - they need to collect those drug company stipends for talks.
Hope you have a great Christmas Governor Kasich, but this woman MD is going on 20 years of hell for trying to save herself from just plain 'bad' Ohio MDs that you promised to do something about. If it would help, like for getting a date to a ball, or for a Taylor Swift song, I would put a plea on YOUTUBE.
You need to 'unconfidential' things and figure out the problem. This case was recommended as a starting point in 1999 — because there were no patient complaints, and no case - but to admit that would mean liability damages even in 1999 — and a 'show' of all those changed confidential complaints through the years. Does the 'confidential' really exist anymore? The reason that the offer was rescinded in 1999: $. Does this woman MD need to fracture her other shoulder and get another 30-year old splint from Dr Brems because nothing can be done - for the good of his medical license? He's definitely getting to clean out his closet of outdated shoulder splints. The boys were bad in undergrad at Georgetown, and he was one of them, but... Sex was the only goal, not career dismemberment.
