Contrary to cynics opinions, Wisconsin authorities are taking this issue seriously. I can't predict how it will come out - and neither can anyone else. But it is definitely not being swept under the carpet.
I wouldn’t hold my breath, they’re all scumbag dhims.
Good thing! They should investigate for medicaid and medicare fraud too. If they will lie about the sick notes they will lie about other things too.
Oh Brother! We all suffer from stress why don't he/they write all of us excuse notes and just let the whole system collapse because nobody's around to do any work. Let us become a 3rd world country like most overseas because people are out there protesting this that or the other.
Now if only liberal lawyers could be held to a cannon of ethics.......(/sarcasm).
Why do I have the funny feeling that the final report will say “the evidence was inconclusive”?
I disagree. This is just a way of sweeping it under the carpet and hiding behind privacy until the heats off.
If they're serious, then these "Doctors" should lose their licenses to practice like a lawyer would be disbarred.
But political correctness being what it is ...
They will be held accountable for nothing. This is America 2011. Don’t hold your breath.
Outsiders will have a good opportunity to judge the ethics and honesty of the Wisconsin Medical School.
I hope they get a passing grade.
I’d say a three-month suspension, and termination of employment, would be about right.
The word on the street is that two of the lab coat clad women writing doctor notes were just actors. The notes they wrote are of no value if traced. the Doctor registration numbers were made up
UW Health, don't use words dems don't understand.
Dr. Lou Sanner, a family medicine physician at UW Health, told the Associated Press he was one of the doctors involved. He said wrote notes for protesters who were suffering from stress.
So, Doc, why weren't they at home resting instead of traveling to the capitol? If they were stressed enough to be out of work, they should have been too stressed to go on the road. Do you typically prescribe "go on a road trip and attend a protest rally" to your stressed patients? I think I would have told them, go home and rest. Get a note from your regular doctor.
That sounds like a really lame attempt to cover up after being caught.
Imagine how this plays out when OweBama is in total control of ALL of America’s doctors. If this were 2012 he would just ORDER the doctors to ‘cover’ his Unionistas. This our last chance to real in the corrupt unions.
They could def lose their jobs. I cant imagine risking one’s career for this.
I would hope that somebody would behave like a reasoned mature adult.
The teachers complain that they cannot discipline a classroom. Discipline comes from enforcing the rules.
Reminds me of that commercial on drugs...
“I learned it by watching you. O.K.?”
If you are appalled about doctors signing fake doctor slips to teachers who are ILLEGALLY protesting, please call the Wisconsin Medical Society and express your concerns.

Also, did you know OUR State Capital is filled with union thugs and other leftist groups that are NOT Wisconsin citizens? These people are vandalizing OUR State buildings. They have plastered offensive signs everywhere that include awful sexual innuendos, promote violence, even threats to kill our Governor. There is garbage everywhere. They used markers in the bathrooms on the stall walls and doors. People are sleeping in the Capital. And, they are banging on drums in and outside the building attempting to disrupt and stop our legislatures from working. Guess who will have to pay for the cleanup once they leave? Wisconsin tax payers!!
If you are not happy with the situation, then I encourage you to contact the Capital police and lodge a complaint.

I hope someone is pursuing this with the malpractice insurance companies involved. Even if these doctors keep their licenses, if they can’t get insurance due to their fraud, they won’t be able to practice anywhere.
Stress??? What a joke! What about the stress for parents and business owners all over the state that has been caused by these idiots deciding they are not going to work for the last week?
The good news is that Sen. (DR.) Pam Galloway (R) is NOT going to let this get swept under the rug. AND, I’m sure there have been notes written across the state - NOT just from docs in the UW system.
So what will they do about Andrew B. and the FOX News producer who both got notes. Neither of them looked/acted stressed and both were encouraged to take extra days off to return to Madison this week.
This is just more socialist BS.
UW Health and UW Madison Medical need to do the right thing for the collective existence of the university, because of a few self seeking and self serving individuals the university health sysytem and the university’s medical school must close their doors while the investigation is going. the infarcations are illegal, fraudulent and against approproriate medical ethics. Until the appropriate agencies can properly investigate the entire UW Health System and UNiversity of Wisconsin mad Medical school should be closed. Look at the savings the State of Wisconsin can achieve millions of dollars, and yes no unemployment benefits have to be paid becuase the wrongful actions of some have taken the actions of others to immediately resolve the issue in a timely manner that will cause for the restrictions upon medical personnel whom ever attempt this stupidity. You do the crime you must do the time.
