Did anyone (especially the sick teachers) check this guy’s credentials to make sure he really was a doctor?

George Costanza: [pause] Was that wrong? Should I not have done that? I tell you, I gotta plead ignorence on this thing, because if anyone had said anything to me at all when I first started here that that sort of thing is frowned upon... you know, cause I’ve worked in a lot of offices, and I tell you, people do that all the time.

They will obviously get away with it.

I hope like Hell this is a real doctor(s) and is prosecuted for fraud as well as those Communists that call themselves “teachers” that used such a fradulent note.

What are they going to say when the kids start handing in fake sick notes?

Well, this statement is a breath of fresh air.

I just joined AAPS.

Simple enough to cross check for fraud.

If 10,000 sick notes come in from Dr.X, given the obvious impossibility of seeing that many patients in a couple of days, they can subpoena his office records to see if folks w/notes actually visited, and if appropo insurance claims were filed for that visit.

We can expect that the next gov't goon rally will feature lawyers holding up signs:

Dr. under ethics investigation?
Need a Lawyer?

Does that tee shirt have “Free Mustache Rides” printed on the back?

That this even has to be discussed “are they, aren’t they, should they, shouldn’t they?” is an indication of a serious breakdown in societal mores.

Really stupid.

Their WEA Trust cadillac plan probably provides for free sick notes with filing paperwork.

The AAPS is the conservative version of the AMA.
The doctors who so publicly and happily committed fraud must
also have their billing and prescription
histories reviewed.
The Wisconsin Dept of Regulation and Licensing will be most responsible for investigating and disciplining the physicians involved.
Although, the hospitals where the fraudsters have privileges
could also begin an investigation , take their own disciplinary action
and refer their findings to the Board.
If Wisconsin fails to act on the egregious and unethical acts publicly committed and acknowledged by these physicians ,
they will look just as unethical and corrupt.
I can’t imagine the ethical Wisconsin physicians remaining silent if the Board fails to discipline the corrupt.

What if this teacher who exclaimed ON CAMERA to FoxNews and the doctors: "She was about to crack"..was indeed mentally ill and was only given a sick day note ( the length of time these notes are valid, a question ? )and harmed someone else, a student or even herself, but no follow up exam or immediate attention of prevention was perscribed--she was seen making the statement.

Expressing instability to a medical professional by a patient by all definition; but ignored by the alleged professional who has promised to perform oathful duties, but instead is acting on dishonest endeavours.

If it was proven to be a hoax or not that comes after the doctors first duty is to follow up on the care of the patient requesting professional "services"?

How about some complaints to U of W alumni association, the value of their degrees and ethics are being lowered. No place for lying teachers, let them go to another profession or private practice.

I saw a few people (all Women ) giving excuses of mental problems as to why they needed a slip from these Doctors. What Parent would want these crazies any where near their Child?

The AMA has been dropping in numbers once around 16% during the germ-ridden white coat photo op with Obama. Even to say 90% of doctors no longer below. Plus, some members want to move away from the Hippocratic Oath and replace it with “population based care ethics”.

Many quit after AMA's support of ObamaCare. I noticed those AMA doctors can now up their incomes through incentive payments [1.5% of their Medicare fees for the year] by reporting to the government "quality information" in AMA's teaming up with Covisint, Detroit based Compuware Corp.

A regular free for all where rules, oaths and common sense no longer matters.
