Speak of the devil...there’s a new update about this guy and in-depth detail about some of the other legal and ethical problems the doctors may be facing:
“...there are some potential problems for the university and the department. Patrick McKenna is identified on the UW DFM staff and directory page as a PGY 3. This is a resident in his 3 and final year of post graduate training and as such cannot operate independently as the Department of Medical Education is responsible for his actions. Furthermore, the ACGME is the governing body that credentials hospitals and medical centers to provide post grad training and would likely take a very jaundiced view of this. You may be unaware, but over the past several years there has been a significant increase in the regulations and requirements required of the Med Ed department...”

Thanks Qbert. I scanned it quickly but will call back later. Someone mentioned Medicaid Insurance, something I mentioned in a post on Sweetness & Light last night (under Petra)as this would have put them in huge trouble, but when I checked out the insurance it was Aetna etc., though I’m thinking as I’m writing this perhaps it’s Aetna-Medicaid, or Blue Cross-Medicaid, or even worse, Aetna-Medicare, or Blue Cross-Medicare...if the latter is the case then it’s Federal which under normal circumstances is big-time jail but with the mafiosi Obama we’re lawless.
And I wonder how legal it is for MD’s to more or less wear a board on their back proselytizing for patients...there are lots of angles but bottom-line it doesn’t look good despite the appearance of the whole country being dictated by Obama, there’s still justice being served and it must happen. Madison is ground zero for the Unions and the Obama et all know it. Anyway I remain very interested on how it all comes down.
Thanks again. :)
