Governor John Kasich is literally 'killing' some physicians with allowing false Medical Board suspensions to continue at the State Medical Board of Ohio - for the physician objecting to medical mistakes on themselves. The physician tries to save their own care, and runs into a Board-friend physician still doing some really outrageous care practices - and these types of physicians exist at every hospital and are many times the 'recommended' physicians - until you try to talk with them about a care problem.
It's one thing to not say anything for another patient's mistakes, because you can't be sure of exactly what really happened, but when the mistakes are so bad - and so uncorrected because the male physician thinking is so screwy - that they finally get done to a woman MD - things are not ok. And a Columbus courthouse is not the place to solve medical care disagreements, and care paradigm confusions, because of the different ways physicians are trained.
Colleague disagreements belong in a non-punitive track at the State Medical Board - like in Minnesota.in case management conferences, physicians are trained to disagree if they know something that the other physician doesn't. But in Ohio practice, that disagreement is an impairment meriting Medical Board licensure suspension; that you don't go along with the more senior male/female physician. However, the Ohio policy of leaving wrist fractures to ripen to excrescence, and the casting of them with 'experimental' casts, are two practices which do not belong in Ohio care without some restrictions.
There are certain medical problems that occur almost exclusively in women, and Ohio does a bad job of these medical diagnoses - thyroid, endocrine gynecology (even fertility is just a business), and bone metabolism problems causing early fracturing. Men don't fracture for the most part, unless doing some sport, until later in life. So the majority of pathologic fracturing - without any stress - occurs in women, and is badly assessed in Ohio - leaving women patients fracturing in their 30s and 40s unnecessarily. Despite CCFs own Dr. Chad Deal's Frax Index, he does a miserable job of assessing woman professional patients with metabolic bone problems. Dr. Deal will write anything that the Medical Board tells him to, without examining the woman patient - he's a tool, a talking-head, a jerk in the parlance - not an ounce of guy stand-up value. But he's not the only plastic male MD in Ohio.
Women MDs are particularly 'targeted' by the present State Medical Board - no changes under Governor Kasich so far - and then ordered to repetitive psychiatric evaluations by Board-appointed 'right' Ohio psychiatrists while their normal medical care is neglected, or not allowed, as they don't 'deserve' care. The problem is the neglect of the 'mistake' care that occurred, the lack of any common sense about treating what's real. Women have their medical licenses suspended without blood work, with unfinished physical therapy, without the EMG, to just get psychiatric care for wanting better care - care that they were trained to give and trained should exist. Going to a Community
Hospital practice in Ohio is like entering UNDERWORLD without Kate Beckinsdale.
For women MDs in their 30s and 40s, medical care (especially ob-gyn) is critical, the more so because many neglected care of themselves during their residency and training years; the hand-to-mouth existence of medical training - the constant no money. So it's important that women MDs be able to get medical care of themselves which is not 'mistakes, ' not Medical Board-appointed, and not just psychiatric, or consisting of repeated psychiatric evaluations trying to find a case for the logic-impaired Medical Board in Ohio.
The State Medical Board of Ohio wants women MDs treated for only what they diagnose them to have, not the medical care that the woman MD needs as care-to-function. The Medical Board Members seem to be pretty stupid MDs about normal medical care for women colleagues; have never heard Dr. Steinbergh or Dr. Talmadge talk anything but psych and they are not Board-Certified in Psychiatry - they can't discuss a common medical problem like thyroid disease in women. They talk about Mrs. Nice?
Psychiatrists have nothing better to do in Columbus apparently - the Medical Board is their scheduling secretary and booking agent. And these are not 'normal' psychiatrists - they are new right Ohio psychiatrists who don't follow the DSM. Like Chad Deal, they will write anything that the State Medical Board tells them to - literally anything for the money. They invent diagnoses, as they did in one case, and the Medical Board of Ohio pays them because they don't realize that they are paying for fraud. Then Mr. Whitehouse puts these false evaluations on the web.
The situation is gruesome - and literally destroying the health of a number of falsely accused physicians - both male & female - who can't get the 'confidential' complaint to clear their names and licenses - clear themselves to get normal medical care again. It's a hand-to-mouth-existence, with the only medical care allowed being repeated psychiatric evaluations by idiots who can cash Ohio State Government checks. No physician wants to care for these falsely accused MDs, as they are afraid of their own medical licenses in the situation of all this false accusing and no medical mistake laws in Ohio - it's like a 'reign of terror' with a 'trial' by 20 years of fire - some survive and some don't.
On one case, the Board hasn't found a case in nearly 20 years, but has almost killed the woman physician with the neglect of care that every other woman can get - no blood work, no ob-gyn care, no endocrine help. And women need endocrine help in their 30s and 40s - if only to stay healthy. Dr. Lance Talmadge should know this - but he doesn't want these women MDs to get any care - just to admit the case that he made up; his clinical skills appear to be missing.
The only care that the State Medical Board allows, or wants, these women MDs to get is psychiatric - so that they don't 'notice' medical mistakes done on them or their patients. The Medical Board wants them drugged, their personalities homogenized, and their intelligence and dignity lost in the fray.
Anita Steinbergh DO, a current life-term Board Member (20 years), is particularly unreasonable on these cases for some reason - citing that the woman should just lie, and it's not her responsibility that the bad care is continuing. Well the Medical Board Members are supposed to set some standards of care, as they do in every other state except Ohio.
Ohio needs medical mistake laws, not repeated psychiatric evaluations of women physicians so that they don't say anything about the mistakes even for care for themselves. Governor Kasich needs to get up to speed on the fraud down the street, and stop killing women MDs because he's so detached and not 'on point.' It takes a huge amount of money and effort to train a woman MD, moreso than the men. And the loss of MDs to the State Medical Board's 'machinery' is a tragedy. Women MDs do the politics badly, because it's just not in their make-up except for the Dr. Steinberghs and the Dr. O'Days - who are killing the rest of us with their stupidity.
