Patterns are appearing that involve abuse of power and control of information in a system that manages all aspects of testing, assessment and treatment without oversight or regulation; an opaque and rigged game that dismisses all outside opinion with no transparency or apparent accountability (including the provision of information and justification for actions). Due process has been removed and the coercion, control and abuse of power are seen in these comments that are not only believable but plausible. This is crystal clear.
These comments can be seen here: FSPHP Response to ‘Physician Health Programs_ More Harm Than Good_’ and I urge others to read them, form their own opinions. investigate this area and help expose these issues. If PHPs are causing this degree of harm and contributing to the suicide epidemic in doctors it needs to be exposed with dispatch and allies are urgently needed.

Does Medscape usually close its topics to further discussion? All three posts including the one mentioned above are now closed to further comments.

Do you see what I am talking about? If they don’t usually close for comments after a few weeks, like KevinMD does, then why have they done so?
Dr. Langan, someone suggested a physician hotline for those physicians being badly treated by their PHPs. That is a good idea, I believe, but this would necessarily have to be public. Do you have any other suggestions how I can help with this ugly problem? I am willing to travel and to march in protest, for instance. To Mass. or to Missouri, where Dr. Greg M (?) died.
Great job! Keep up the good work! email me any time you wish, you have my address.

Call me Gail. That is odd that they closed the comments. I am sure they are being pressured by the associated drug and alcohol testing, assessment and treatment industries – we need to make sure they do not “scrub” the comments already posted.

I will message you on FB. I think they are being threatened with lawsuits by FSPHP lawyers. I am sure you know that lawyers are calling ALL the shots in the PHP uh “movement”…leading naïve and greedy doctors “in charge” by the nose. Because they have financial involvement in this scheme to milk and bilk American physicians through a seemingly unstoppable scheme.
