On the above list can be found the Medical Directors of a number of drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities. I did not make up this list. An updated version can be seen right here on the “like-minded doc” website.
Talbott, Marworth, Hazelden, Promises, and another two-dozen or so “PHP-approved” assessment and treatment centers are represented on this list. State Physician Health Programs (PHPs) refer doctors to these facilities for evaluations. PHPs are non-profit tax-exempt organizations. They do not evaluate or treat patients. If a physician is referred to a PHP for a suspected problem the assessment must be done at an outside facility which will invariably be linked to a name on the list of Like-Minded Docs.
What most people do not know, however, is that this is an exclusive arrangement. Evaluations are constrained to one of these facilities. It is mandated. No bargaining. No compromises. No choice. In other words it is a coercion.

This sounds like a violation of 18 U.S.C.A. § 1963. According to federal law, if an individual suspects or knows about any kind of federal law being broken then it’s incumbent on that individual to report the illegal activities or suspected illegal activities to the proper federal authorities. If the knowledgeable individual fails to report this, then that individual may be charged with being a passive accomplice to the crime. So, you’re obligated to report this to the feds.

Well the reaction so far has been silence. As with the Medical Boards and DPH it is my understanding they have “bottom-up” contacts who deflect, dismiss and derail complaints so they do not get to where they are supposed to. So please do report. The more reports the better the odds the truth will get to decent individuals who will do something.

This sounds like a violation of 18 U.S.C.A. § 1963. According to federal law, an individual must report any illegal activity or suspected illegal activity being perpetrated against the federal government. Failure to do so, will make that individual just as guilty as the perpetrators, and that individual will be subject to prosecution to the fullest extent of federal law.
