State Medical Board of Ohio can just suspend woman physician licenses if they make too much' of bad care done to themselves by colleagues, i.E. Without any patient problems or complaints about their care of patients. Colleague complaints are used in Ohio to silence women physicians bringing women's medicine care diagnostic & care problems to the Board's attention. Women's medicine is practiced poorly in Ohio and at the Medical Board level; everything and every symptom is reduced to psychiatric, ' while the woman physician is judged as making too much' and needing therapy, counseling, and evaluation as her fractures collapse - no blood work allowed in Ohio or at the Board.in 1991 I complained about inadequate fracture care and an inability to get the medical records to the consultants trying to save my hand function and find the cause of the fracturing. The cause was finally found in with complete thyroid function testing in Washington DC (not Ohio), but not before the suspension of my medical license, and 4 ordered evaluations' for 'making too much' of the deficient care and protesting that the complications needed care and that blood work/work-up be done. Blood work wasn't allowed done for years as then I couldn't order it on myself - as no one else cared.
Once the women's medical license is suspended, The Ohio State Medical Board can then order her to unending psychological evaluations at administrative whim discussing her sex/dating life (the Board then assumes the power to order the women MD to otherwise unindicated 'evaluations'), or for any reason, i.E. Just to see what the evaluation will show (so they have something to discuss at Board meetings & statistics). Such a woman physician, whose medical license was voted suspended, ' loses all power over her live and health care decisions - which the Strickland Board of physicians, lawyers, and consumer lay person Members makes for her (some practicing without a license literally). Evaluations are re-ordered for another 'go' to re-instate an Ohio license or just to see that the woman physician doesn't ever sue or try to get the facts about the missed diagnosis (and colleague complaint against her) causing the non-healing stress fractures that she gets over' the bad care, lack of blood work, and the colleague cruelties - even if she dies before the diagnosis of the cause of the fractures is found. You have to have 'aequanimitas' while you are being mistreated, suspended, and left to rot. And initially The Mayo Clinic thought that I had multiple myeloma, but no workup was allowed to be finished before 2001.in my case in 1992, the Ohio Board did not allow me to get care even for multiple fracture complications, after very negligent care from colleagues who thought that I was fracturing bones to get their male attention or just plain unlucky.' Bone pains, which continued, were thought or assessed psychiatric, ' as a 'pain syndrome' or worse DSM psychiatric name-calling, without any complete blood work ever being ordered. Blood work done 10 years later finally disclosed a very easily treatable thyroid problem causing bone weakening and increased bone turnover. A cousin has the same bone/thyroid problem, but no one takes a medical history in Ohio.
In the interim, I was just supposed to work in a lab doing research, not making very much money, and not able to get health care coverage to treat the pre-existing untreated bone problem causing 5 more fractures. My personal life was just lost' and forfeit to my trying to save myself and my hands - as I didn't 'understand' Dr. Nice as his wife didn't (what I was supposed to do with my Ohio MD & license). The Ohio Board doesn't care that the diagnosis (blood work) took 10 years, and at this point just wants another sixth evaluation before thinking of returning any license even if this is not indicated or ordered by my current physicians - as the cause of the bone pains has been finally determined and NOTHING WAS PSYCHIATRIC. And one complete set of blood work in 1990-2, would have probably found the cause, ' but it wasn't allowed; to save the physicians that goofed, care and diagnostic workup was obstructed by University Hospitals and Hillcrest Hospital physicians - my competition. The Cleveland Clinic wasn't allowed to consult with a complete PHYSICAL/MEDICAL evaluation of the medical/orthopedic situation before the suspension. Now in I'm supposed to say that everything is fine, ' that my health is fine, ' and my life is really ruined in every possible way including health. And I couldn't stop the mess, but they want me to tell a new 'right' Ohio psychiatrist that everything is fine. The bone problem went to serious osteoporosis, and is only recently stabilized with treatment of the thyroid condition and the other associated endocrine problems caused with auto-immune thyroid disease = not a psychiatric illness and nothing strange' was done by me except to object to the non-sensical care, i.E. Fractures left to rot to excrescence before casting. The woman physician, myself, hasn't been able to order the blood work on herself or help treat herself for 16 years even though I knew at one point what was causing the problem = had lost all personal & professional credibility with my license, and had made no patient mistakes = the usual criteria for medical license suspension, but not in Ohio. I only wrote letters to Drs. Nice & Keith as trying to confront them, that I couldn't work the way that they left me, was interpreted as 'seductive' or 'hysterical.' There was only one woman orthopedic in the Cleveland area at that time and she refused to help me or interfere.
The Ohio Medical Board needs to return my medical license with all privileges so that I can get a decent job and get the bone condition treated, and stop their nonsense with medical licensing decisions. This isn't psychiatric, and I can't say that anything is 'fine' until I have a chance at a life and care for the bone problem, which everyone has tried to block; I literally barely exist any more. Taking women physician licenses to hide care problems, and/or make sure that the physician-patient hurt by the negligence doesn't sue anyone, or get the complete blood work to find the cause before 10 years, needs to be stopped. The missed diagnosis is/was a several million dollar miss;' a miss which the Ohio Board & Governor Strickland want to continue to hide as physicians can't sue physicians in Ohio nor say that they made a mistake' even - to just get on with their life in another state. Non-physician patients collect big-time if their physician misses this diagnosis, and University Hospitals of Cleveland has physicians that testify against community physicians, but not UH, if they 'miss' things.in my case my medical license was suspended as I didn't deserve' care or workup it was hard to get any physician to help me for years, even friends were suddenly not friends as their license mattered more than my life. Medical licenses are political in Ohio.
Governor Strickland goes along with the current State Medical Board Members falsifying psychological tests and diagnoses to produce inflated physician discipline statistics, and to protect friends' of Board Members from any disciplinary actions for inadequate treatment of physician-patients, especially women MDs. There are right' physicians in Ohio, who need to be protected and ensured referrals = Dr. Nice. Reforms are needed at the State Medical Board of Ohio to ensure due process that allows women physicians care-to-function' before having their licenses pulled for care disagreements with male physicians about rare endocrine diagnoses. Women physician-patients get far worse care than non-physician patients in Ohio, and can't do anything about it; if they complain the State Medical Board of Ohio will take their license for making too much.' Making too much has to stop being a reason to take a woman physician's medical license in Ohio, or for 16 years of discipline without any patient problems just a colleague disagreement over her own care and the male harassments. This is not the way to handle medical or orthopedic mistakes on women MD patients; you admit the mistake and refer to the experts in time to save the woman's hands or license but not in Ohio.
Governor Strickland, supposedly a trained psychologist, needs to look into the misuse of psychiatry, psychological testing, and evaluations by the State Medical Board of Ohio abuses of practice that he allows the Medical Board to order' without review or censure. Evaluations of women physicians are ordered for saying No' to male colleagues in Ohio. No one reviews or is in charge' of the State Medical Board of Ohio and how they interpret the law or misuse their powers and privileges in physician disciplines even the Ohio Court of Appeals can't get the Ohio Board files to review or hear cases.
Nothing at the Ohio State Medical Board is about patient complaints or improving medical care in Ohio these evaluations on women physicians never discuss their patient care just in my case Dr. Nice and why I didn't go along' and like him in a personal' way (= married with 2 children). The Executive Director, Richard Whitehouse, just summarizes that it is a confidential' system - and 16 years of my life have been lost to this confidential' system where you can't prove your innocence because you don't know what you are accused of or who signed the complaint your competition = the guy physicians, and the women who go along, ' who won't even do vitamin D levels on you hoping that you keep fracturing (the orthopedic dream broken multiple fracture woman'). The first reliable vitamin D level was done in 2007.
Orthopedic malpractice, and experimental' care, on women physicians in Ohio is encouraged and allowed practiced by Members of Governor Strickland's Democratic administration Medical Board for discipline statistics because you will try to save yourself. Complaints by woman MDs are handled' by suspending that woman physician's medical license, before adequate care or workup, when as a woman wanting a life you object. Every black and foreign physicians can have a family and children, but you can't as a white woman professional with a rare medical problem that was a missed diagnosis. The State of Ohio then orders evaluations' over 16 years saying it's state law, ' hoping that you die from whatever was causing the fractures, while the state changes the confidential' files - you have to tell them the diagnosis they missed, and say that everything's fine' while you continue to fracture and the statute of limitations expires for Drs. Nice & Keith (=boys being boys'). It's literally kill the competition' in Ohio for women physicians, while the guys, including the legislators (Dolan & Grendell), just party.
Women physicians are advised not to practice in Ohio, not to try to get orthopedic care in Ohio, and to order a complete set of blood work on yourself when you get sick as the guys won't tell you the results. Nothing will ever be fine' again in your life and you'll probably never practice medicine again if you dare to question, or make too much, ' of the care. It's uncertain at this point, whether my bone condition will ever be treated, or if I'll ever practice again, and I did nothing wrong to patients in the short time I was allowed to practice in Ohio. Even the Cleveland Clinic and Dr. Licata are just letting me rot, or 'melt' as the Mayo Clinic put it in 1991 - because other Cleveland Clinic Members tried to hide things for University, i.E. Dr. Utian and Dr. Chad Deal - who both knew in 2000 that 'something else' that needed treatment medically was wrong and didn't care.
Finally as a note: the State of Ohio Medical Board causes all kinds of problems for massage therapists in Ohio dictating unlike any other state that massage is a luxury' while other states allow medical students to study massage as therapy' under substantial NIH funded curriculum grants, e.G. Georgetown University Medical School. And in my case, the severe muscles spasms caused by the poor orthopedic casting did respond to massage treatments which were not covered by medical insurance, but done better than any of the orthopedic care. Women and massage therapists need to practice elsewhere.
