Governor Kasich knew that there were probably hundreds of false cases at the State Medical Board of Ohio from before he took office, with no procedural way to dismiss these cases and get the physicians back to work. He campaigned to fix this. As soon as the Medical Board admits they cheated, and paid experts to cheat, they stop answering their phones.
In one situation, cases run-through by Carla O'Day MD in the 1990s, patients are calling the physicians suspended through her testimony and wanting help - from harm she has caused them. Help that these physicians can't give until their cases are resolved.
Carla O'Day MD is now the Director of Emergency Services at St. Vincent in Cleveland - she got rid of her competition by having their medical licenses taken for things that aren't reasons to take a medical license. Physician licenses were taken in the 1990s for looking at someone the wrong way, for disagreeing with admittedly wrong care, for 'making too much of bad care' (reporting it). Physician licenses were taken without allowing them 'care-to-function' if they had an illness, no fractures casted, no blood work, no cast padding or Physical Therapy.
Carla O'Day MD put through cases at the Medical Board of physicians who were her competition. Physicians who had gone to Case Western Reserve Medical School with her, and had no patient complaints. Patients are now calling suspended physicians, trying to get help about her. She has had two failed marriages, and accuses everyone of a 'personality disorder' - ruining countless lives.
Governor Kasich needs to get a review panel for the problems at the State Medical Board of Ohio. Governor Romney never caused physicians with no patient complaints false suspensions based on cheating. The Medical Board will admit they cheated, and then not answer their phone for 8 years. The Medical Board has no policy from the Governor to get physicians back to work - to dismiss the stacks of false cases even with no-fault.
