This is not hard to do...anyone can do it...if you think your doctor does not have your best interests in his mind, then find one who does...why is that so difficult?...I frankly dont understand this...

The problem is that as the notion that it's acceptable for a doctor to put other people's interests ahead of his patients' spreads, it will poison the entire medical profession; finding a good doctor will then become all but impossible in many areas.

I would further suggest that in any profession, those who refuse to speak against their fellows' unethical conduct become complicit in it. Not only is silence seen as implying consent, but passive acceptance of unethical conduct can also result in weakening of one's own personal ethics. The longer a person observes unethical behavior while saying nothing, the harder it will be for such a person to resist pressures to engage in such behavior himself.

To the poster who made the last three abuse reports and asked "are you insane? what the hell is up with you mods? "

This thread has been civil for the last couple of hours and if you restart the flamewar you will be suspended.

Thanks.

I dont know that I agree with your post #607...there have always been bad doctors around, this is nothing new at new...and people are always warning other people about doctors that they perceive as being not the best advocates for their own patients...I have heard and seen this all the time...and we have often grilled our own GP about other doctors, and hes been up front and straight with us about who he does and does not consider to be the best doctors...

So, yes, people and doctors do speak out against those bad doctors...doctors wish to protect themselves against being labeled as bad, by revealing those who are bad...and patients will complain, if their doctors dont serve them well...

It may very well be, that not enough doctors do speak out, but many do speak out, as do the patients of bad doctors...

Terri was a victim of Medicaid Fraud and Judge Greer. Terri had plenty of money but was declared indigent so that she could become Medicaid eligible and stuck in a hospice for five years, a place she didn't belong. It was Terri's death row while Judge Greer kept slamming her parents as did Judge W. Douglas Baird, Chief Judge David Demers, Judge James Whittemore and other judges too numerous and guilty to mention.

Terri was never represented by counsel either. She had no constitutional rights. Judge Greer violated the law by acting as judge and guardian. She's not his relative and he should have recused himself. The agenda was to bump her off and deflect any motions to improve her care or allow her to live.

Terri's wheelchair was broken for years. Judge Greer knew it and he never ordered it fixed. There's no way Judge Greer wanted Terri to ever go outside or be with other people who would see that she was alert and aware. Judge Greer belongs in prison. He's the worst offender.
