Allows State Medical Board to suspend women MD licenses for objecting to care by non-certified physicians, without blood work, physical therapy, or appropriate recovery time from complications of medi

Women MDs in OHIO are unable to get appropriate medical care for even the simplest of problems - thyroid, fractures, etc. The Ohio Medical Board is in the business of being the malpractice insurer for their 'friends' - suspending women MD licenses when the guys/girls goof.

University Hospitals of Cleveland Endocrinologists don't have to do thyroid panels, thyroid antibodies, women's hormone tests, or vitamin D levels before medical license are taken for women MDs with multiple fracture syndromes - and the orthopedics don't notice. Ohio orthopedics can't treat fractures - but the problem was the endocrinologist that told the orthopedics that it was just the woman MD's 'problem with men' - sans testing.

Then there are the 'home' labs in offices where the blood is drawn & processed wrong, despite the lab in the building - this happens frequently at University Suburban Green Road Medical Center in Cleveland.

Women MDs are not allowed care-to-function before their medical license is taken - for objecting to lack of fracture care, simple blood work, physical therapy, getting their medical records to consultants - it doesn't happen and the charts turn up at the Medical Board highly edited with piles of fabrications.

Charts turning up two years later at the State Medical Board offices, charts where the care could not be reimbursed because of irregularities. These charts are then used to take the woman MD's license because she 'made too much' of the fraud. No woman with two fractures is 'seductive' unless the orthopedic is having hallucinations and not on meds (Hillcrest Hospital orthopedics, Cleveland Clinic Hospital).

The fabrications are so bad regarding these cases of taking licenses for objecting to wrong care, that the insurer Blue Cross/Blue Shield can't pay for the alleged care. The woman MD is supposed to admit that some kind of care happened - with no blood work, no cast. Women MDs are not told what lie will work, just subjected to 6 or more psychiatric evaluations for 'making too much' of care that the Board is supposed to regulated, standardize, and improve.

To get through Medical School anywhere, women students are highly psychiatrically tested and evaluated to start - several evaluations before they get through Medical School sometimes - evaluations for noticing the problems on the wards & clinics. Problems are not discussed, they are just mistakes made over and over as Ohio has no medical mistake laws. So the Medical Board gets mad at women MDs for handling the mistakes the wrong way. Well, what is the 'right' way Mr. Whitehouse, Governor Kasich? No one has said anything for the last 8 years.

In Ohio you can't get thyroid function tests more than a T4 before your medical license is suspended for provisional - 'provisional' what is the question? Provisional has no definition in Ohio, and if you call the Medical Board you get Benton Taylor - who hasn't got a clue what 'provisional' means - and it changes daily.

Every Ohio psychiatrist from Dr. Phillip Resnick, to his residents, go along with this for the money - they don't do the thyroid testing first and refer to the endocrinologist. It's not a psychiatric condition to try to insist on the standard of care - which is casting for a wrist fracture - which is a thyroid panel for tiredness & weight gain, thyroid gland swelling - ie TSH, thyroid antibodies, T3 depending on the lab.

A thyroid panel is NEVER a T4 - as was used to take one woman MD's license in Ohio - and this could only happen in Ohio where the Board Members don't know what is 'abnormal' for a thyroid problem result, and that you have to order at least a TSH before you say that the woman MD is malingering. If you have a normal T4, you are just exaggerating - and this is 2012. Many thyroid problems have a normal T4, including many cases of hypothyroidism - but the TSH is elevated and there are thyroid antibodies. Many women get post-partum thyroiditis. About 26% or more of women (Christine Northrup, MD) have hypothyroidism as they head into their late 30s and early 40s. Thyroid is not a disease of men; most residency physicals & blood work do not include thyroid panel testing so it is missed in women residents - and that's a crime because these women then don't feel well and have huge responsibilities. The males are usually 90 % euthyroid in residency programs, medical schools. But all are vitamin D deficient as the semester goes into December in Medical Schools in Boston, Cleveland and Seattle.

Governor Kasich is obsessed with pill-mill physicians - and how many of those are there in Ohio? It's an orphan disease, a 'zebra' in medical communities, and disciplining that crowd - when the Columbus powers that be have allowed these pill-mills for decades - is not going to improve the general quality of medical care in any state.

The number of physicians that screw up thyroid function testing is probably more than 90% of the physicians licensed in Ohio - including ALL OF THE PRESENT OHIO BOARD MEMBERS that allowed that normal T4 be all that woman MD was allowed - until Georgetown Medical Center had to do the profile. But they have no way to handle that Medical Board mistake under Governor Kasich - except say that the woman MD's personality made them not think, drink when they voted, or not look into the facts.

Women MDs need to get all the appropriate women's labs before Medical Board Members vote their medical license suspended for making too much of no care, or care by orthopedics not Certified in Hand Orthopedics, or care that just didn't happen as written on the edited typed medical records. And Dr. Resnick checking for malingering 20 years later - is not appropriate. Expert consultations should be the best, the most appropriate, and not have conflicts of interest - done in the first year otherwise the symptoms are from the neglect & the abuse. There also needs to be a statute of limitations.

But missing thyroid disorders, and taking women MD licenses before the lab work comes back, while having Board Meetings with liquor closets - is a bit hypocritical. The woman MD at least knew she needed the tests, the Board Members didn't have a clue.
