Maybe the doctor could dispense a cry-towel or two?

I don't think a lapse of judgement like this should cost them their licenses but they should be fined and sanctioned.

It is not a lapse in judgment.

It is willful disregard for the law.

If you can't trust your doctor, who can you trust?

The DA probably is in support of this and understandably against Walker and his radical, dictator proposals

Who cares. They are not handing out perscriptions, just notes. I know lots of people who go to the clinic, pay their deductable, get their note and walla, 2 to 3 days off. And yes these people are registered Dems and Repubs.

I think you misread the post. People who present themselves as doctors without a medical license are in violation of federal law.

Would it be better for them to use 2nd amendment remedies?

It appears to me, at least on the surface, that pommysmommy has a hell of a lot more experience in dealing with the medical profession than we do.

Its easy to cast the first stone, but its harder to hold onto it until someone with actual knowledge tells you whats going on.

I don't know medicine, medical law, or anything of the like. I doubt you do also. Maybe, just maybe we should let the experts sort this out. Doctors are very proud of their profession, if someone is doing something that discredits them, they generally take it personally.

Doctors are human and they can get caught up in the passion of their politics. I am sure these doctors did not even realize what they are doing is wrong. They assume that since they are doctors they can write a note. They forget about the whole documentation requirement.
