Consider the dilemma they face:

They might claim the engaged in a health-related interview with each person and issued legit excuses based on a field diagnosis of stress, etc. and that no one can say otherwise because these conversations are protected by doctor-patient privacy

BUT:

We have them on video doing these “interviews” in a public place without any concern for privacy - anyone within earshot could hear what was being discussed.

So either they A) are guilty of fraudulently handing out medical excuses without a proper examination or B) are guilty of violating HIPAA privacy rules.

They can’t have it both ways!

Also:

The doctors aside, look at how screwed these teachers are!

Now that the names and ID of those doctors is widely known and all over the internet - any teacher who tries to use one of those notes as an excuse is in essence admitting to fraud! The notes have become worthless thanks to the stupidity of the doctors and the exposure they had from Vicki MeKenna, Andrew Breitbart and others.

So regardless of what happens to the doctors, any teacher who attempts to use one of these notes should be charged with fraud right on the spot.

Well, first we have to ask, are the doctors charging for the notes. If yes, well the doctor is just a good capitalist, if no, the doctor is a union tool. I can play this game just as well as the MSM....
