The State Medical Board of Ohio makes mistakes, and takes medical licenses - particularly of women MDs - when the mistakes threaten 'friend' physicians of Members of the State Medical Board. Medical licensure is not about patient care in Ohio.
There are no medical mistake laws in Ohio, nor provisions for the State Medical Board making a wrong decision on a provisional accusation that doesn't materialize as being true. There's no procedural policy to undo bad Medical Board decisions. And the physician complaints are 'confidential' - if you don't have friends to get you the complaint. And the license is taken before any investigation, and no witnesses can come forward as no one knows what the case is about - it wasn't about her patient care, CME, etc. Many cases have nothing to do with patient care.
In Ohio, the falsely accused physician either admits the Medical Board's case, or never gets their license back; there is no due process at the State Medical Board of Ohio - they acknowledge this openly. And the Board is never wrong. Meanwhile, the medical care of that physician is withheld to try to get a 'confession' - other physicians are told that they will be penalized if they care for the suspended physician - until she admits the Board's case. You have to go out-of-state to get blood work, or ob-gyn care, and you are shunned literally.
And it depends on what the case is - the case that the Board wants - as to what a physician can admit. When the Medical Board wants an admission in Ohio, they blame the woman physician for everything - her personality, the male MDs being aroused thinking something 'seductive' that is just swollen to excrescence (a wrist?), the male MDs inability to cast a 'simple' fracture, etc. - it's all a witch hunt. The woman physician's lawyers are called and threatened almost hourly - what the state will do unless the lawyer admits the case. The last Executive Director of the State Medical Board of Ohio - Tom Dilling - did so much of this phone threatening, that even Governor Taft finally had to get rid of him. Now Mr. Whitehouse either threatens through another person, or refuses to answer his phone - just updates his social media sites on state salary and time - you can't get him on the phone.
Governor John Kasich has continued this farce, and the threats. The 'confidential' complaint against the physician can be changed 'confidentially' for 20 years if necessary - killing the physician with the neglect of his/her medical care, and reducing the medical career of the physician to a national farce & waste - a career of an MD who went to Medical School in Ohio - her training & education subsidized by Ohio taxpayers. You have to admit to have what the Medical Board wants you to have - even if you have no criteria and the tests are fudged or the diagnosis doesn't exist - and your medical insurance won't pay for this of course.
There is at least one case like this currently before the State Medical Board of Ohio - where the woman MD has had to continue to fracture because her bone condition was thought to be an exaggeration - an exaggeration to protect the physicians that missed the diagnosis causing the fractures. No Ohio physician will treat the condition - so the woman MD continues to fracture unless she admits that it is all her personality - which she can't. Fractures are not psychiatric, but the State Medical Board of Ohio is still trying to find a case, and prove this wrong assessment, after almost 20 years.
The Members of the State Medical Board of Ohio do not allow blood work, consultation or proper casting of fractures on women MDs. They don't know what thyroid function tests are. And if the women MD complains - about her own care - then her license is taken for 'making too much.' And Governor Kasich goes along with this even when the woman MD calls his office from Johns Hopkins after she fractures another bone - it's just a joke in Ohio. Just a joke for the guy who is completely out-of-touch with reality despite occasionally visiting Bob Evans if he needs to impress for a few votes. And, of course. Governor Kasich doesn't get on the phone to talk to the Johns Hopkin's senior Staff orthopedic physician who saw the fracture in real-time. It's all just a dream, from which the State of Ohio never wakes up - part of a Taylor Swift song about bullying...
The Ohio State Medical Board meanwhile, continues to put out that the woman MD's fractures are just 'psychiatric' - needing a new right Ohio psychiatrist. For twenty years - it's all psychiatric because the State Medical Board of Ohio made a mistake for a 'friend' physician - to cover his liability and the liability of a Board Member involved - her ER mistreated one of the fractures - no x-ray, no cast padding, and no fracture reduction. This woman MD skipped those parts of Medical School at CWRU = Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine (a University in Ohio that allows unlimited skipping of classes at the Medical School level - where you can refuse to come for almost a whole year and still 'pass' if you 'pass' the tests).
This woman MD has survived 5 evaluations, a faked Rorschach - admitted 'fake', a diagnosis that doesn't exist anywhere except at the State Medical Board of Ohio, a drunken 'emergency' Board session, and a Court of Appeals decision throwing out the case that the State Medical Board then reinstated because they can't be wrong - the woman has survived - barely. This is an insane situation of a state agency making a mistake and trying to 'kill' the mistake - based on 'confidential.' Governor Kasich is looking the other way as he wants to be in Washington, DC and run the country - perpetually on Meet the Press. And no one wants government this corrupt, or this detached.
This woman, and probably an unknown number of other falsely accused MDs in Ohio, will die if the neglect & mistreatment of her medical condition continues. Governor Kasich's office is aware and hoping she dies - they hang up saying that the Governor can't be bothered - that it's Brad Reynold's responsibility - and he has stopped answering his phone. Meet the Press, meet the Governor - who hasn't got a shred of ethics, common sense or compassion - he just has to be 'right.' NFL concussions are one thing, but leaving women MDs to die of fracturing is even worse - we now admit that NFL concussions are a bad thing, whereas Governor Kasich thinks torturing a woman MD for a confession is still good policy.
