Nevada's Chief Medical Officer Not Licensed To Practice Medicine In U.S.
The Washington Times ^ | 09/11/18

Posted on 03/25/2020 7:37:28 PM PDT by Enlightened1

Nevada’s top doctor isn’t licensed to practice medicine in the United States.

Ihsan Azzam testified in Las Vegas on Tuesday that he has a master’s degree and worked for several years in environmental public health and epidemiology before being named chief state medical officer last May.

Azzam says he practiced for several years as an obstetrics and gynecology physician in Africa before moving to the United States in the 1990s.

That qualifies Azzam for the job under Nevada state law.

Azzam testified that while he has no background in anesthesia or pain management, he says the doses of three drugs proposed for an inmate’s lethal injection would be enough to kill a mammoth.

Three drug manufacturers are trying to convince a judge that Nevada improperly obtained their products for an execution, which is not an approved use.

I have no idea where the idea came from that says a CEO is required to know the business. This position is the same as many top level executive. He/she runs the company, not does the work. Here are the duties of the position, and the lack of being a physician is in there.

https://law.justia.com/codes/nevada/2013/chapter-439/statute-439.130/

The position doesn’t require a doctor. It requires a manager. Just someone to utilize the pieces of the company to do their job. Don’t misconceive that a doctor is the answer. They are not taught to handle an executive position, or run a corporation. They heal people. And they are told by numerous groups how to do even that. An education in science doesn’t make you a mathematician....or a CEO.

Who cares if they know anything about health care. All I know is that Nevada has some nice-looking women in the senior ranks of their state health department. LOL.

What a stupid statement.

How likely is it that any drug approved by the FDA is approved for ending human life? (other than the Day After Pill)

Shouldn’t a state health director have specialized in infectious diseases, ideally? I mean, that it probably the area where a crisis will emerge. I guess you could argue for a specialization in emergency medicine/trauma too.

I believe him. This isn’t rocket science. Dosage recommendations are published. 10x the dose, and it’s dreamland, forever.

and an executive who is not a medical doctor had no inkling of the treatment of human beings....not a clue of life and death situations......a business person....

which is why we have too few ventilators, why we can't use known drugs to treat covid, and why people in Italy are being cut off at age 60.

That’s the best and brightest Democrat in PA. A doctor that’s clueless about anatomy.

If that thing has had its bits and pieces chopped off, with a deep wound to make a fake vagina, the chances of my taking any advice coming out of its mouth is 0%. This is a mentally deranged freak, and the only thing more sick is the “doctor” who would agree to perform the mutilation, who should be stripped of their license and imprisoned for the rest of their life.

This is what happens in a State when the Democrats begin to
outnumber the Americans.

#9. Was Nevada the first Mafia-owned state? I know NY City was one of their key owned cities (Chicago, Jersey City, perhaps Vegas, etc).
