[Madison, WI] As tens of thousands of public employees skipped work this week to attend protest rallies outside the Wisconsin State Capitol, many wondered if they would face any disciplinary action for unexcused absences.
On Saturday, a group of men and women in lab coats purporting to be doctors were handing out medical excuse notes, without examining the patients.
I asked this doctor what he was doing and he told me they were handing out excuses to people who were feeling sick due to emotional, mental or financial distress, said Christian Hartsock. They never performed an examhe asked me how I was feeling today and I said Im from California and Im not used to the cold, so he handed me a note.
Another woman, who wished to remain anonymous, said they were handing out excuses like they were leaflets.
I asked if they were handing out doctors excuses and a guy said yes and asked me if I needed one, she said. When I told them I needed one for February 16 and 17th, he wondered if I wanted to come back here for the protests next week.
What happened next?
I said, sure, and I received a doctors note for the 16th through the 25th of February, without a medical exam.
The notes read
Feb 19, 2011
Patients name______
Date of birth ____/_____/_____
To Whom it May Concern:
This is confirm I have seen and evaluated the above named patient.
Please excuse from work/school due to a medical condition from
____/____/____ through
Please contact me at badgerdoctors@gmail.com if additional information is needed. Thank you.
Sincerely,
Physician Signature:
Physician Name
WI license number
Based on an examination of the signature and medical license number provided, one of the men handing out these notes was purporting to be James H Shropshire MD, a Clinical Associate Professor at the University Wisconsin Madison.
At this time, MacIver News Service is attempting to contact Dr. Shropshire to see if indeed he was the one handing out the notes on the Capitol Square.
If there is a way to abuse a system in a way that discredits it for all future legitimate uses, they will find it and drive a bus through it.

This tactic reminds me of the Thugs with baseball bats hanging around the polling place that our Justice Department found no problem.
Any news agency that doesn't fully run with this story shares complicity in this fraud as the slimebag doctors and "patients."
Oh yeah. < /virtual high five>
More from the MacIver Institute here. The name, signature, and Wisconsin medical license number on the pictured note belong to James H Shropshire MD, an Associate Clinical Professor of Medicine at the Wisconsin School of Medicine, Department of Family Medicine. Doctors told an interviewer in video from the MacIver Institute that the fake teachers have mental health challenges; another defensive doctor accused the interviewer of interfering with private, protected confidential consultations in the middle of a public demonstration.

I bet the governor has the balls to prosecute them.....via the state Attorney General.
And then he can turn around and pass out pink slips to the teachers for lying.

A prelude to Obamacare.

Kids can’t read - but I’ll bet they know how to cheat. Learned it at the teacher’s knee...
Wouldn't that be a hoot - people in white coats suckering in the protesters. "You a teacher or state employee? Yes, then take this note."
The note is pink and says "YOU'RE FIRED!"
I found her; licensed 21 years.

EXCELLENT work.
Maybe not for long. That should go to a review board immediately.
Seeing a common trend. These doctors are employed at the University of Wisconsin. Correct?
