Governor Kasich has done nothing to improve the State Medical Board mess in Columbus, and the taking of women MD licenses to let the statute of limitations on the bad medical, or orthopedic, care done to them by the 'boys' expire - Mr. Whitehouse's words - the current Executive Director of the State Medical Board. And no one in the Governor's office in Ohio seems to be able to get Mr. Whitehouse on the phone - he and the Governor don't discuss.
Dr. Carla O'Day - who started the mess in one case - was asked to call the Mayo Clinic & she refused - she knew better and had wanted the woman classmate punished for just being who she was - she studied and went to classes in Medical School at CWRU - and Carla didn't. Carla O'Day MD skipped so much class, and went to the Health Sciences Library so rarely, that it's still a record for the librarians at least. And class materials would often be only on file in the library. That's the kind that get appointed to the State Medical Board of Ohio - the woman megastars.
The Ohio State Medical Board wants the women MDs to sign that they cause their male colleagues to make the mistakes - when they tried to talk to the boys, send them notes, asked them to call the consultants, and got the parents to talk to them about the family history. Nothing works because the Ohio State Medical Board does not mandate that the men MDs refer, consult, discuss, and send their medical records on patients or MD-patients — they simply don't have to. And there are no medical mistake laws in Ohio, so the legislators for the most part don't know how this concept works in 40-plus other states. Ask Senator Eklund from the Cleveland area - he doesn't google - his staff probably knows, but not him.
When a woman MD objects to the wrong care, instead of mandating discussion, family history & blood work - the men go into defensive mode and start a countercomplaint on the license of the woman MD. This is facilitated by the 'confidential' complaint system - where the guys have a drinking party and do a complaint - which the State Medical Board of fools takes absolutely seriously without considering the context of what is going on - it's a frat party kind of thing. The Medical Board will then meet down the street from Riffe Center after dinner and drinks, and it's all over for the woman MD.
Things are done in Cleveland, or Dayton, where the cow country folk in Columbus haven't a clue about the local politics & dislikes of metropolitan Cleveland or Dayton/Toledo - things that play into a physician not getting care when they are injured or have a thyroid problem. And women MDs are the only ones that get the thyroid problems with stress; thyroid problems occur like 90%-plus of the time in women only. And in Medical School, when there is any lecture on diseases that occur mostly in women, the boys are on the tennis, basketball, or other courts - or playing pool on all the pool tables that medical schools provide. Medical schools provide for all the male sports - as they know the boys will require amusement and distraction - guys can't just go to class.
One woman MD, who has had her Ohio license taken for the last 19 years, had a woman cousin with the same problem who lived in another state - a lawyer. This woman lawyer got the problem diagnosed, and the accompanying weak bone condition treated in 18 months, and never lost her law license (years ago now) - and the lawyer wasn't considered 'impaired' when she had to ask tough questions of her MDs - AMAZING! Medical care can work, but not in Ohio with the kind of dufuses licensed in Ohio - IQ of
