The Alienation Of America’s Best Doctors | Melinda Hakim MD

mllangan1 Leave a comment

America, this is serious. The brightest minds in this country are running away from careers in health care. Many of our best doctors are being forced out of business. We must start an open dialogue with doctors ― the individuals who are the most influential in advancing our health care system. The success of our health care system absolutely depends on the caliber of talent we attract to become and remain our nation’s physicians. Short-changing the individuals who are sacrificing everything to save lives will lead to the biggest threat to our nation’s health care system.

Want to make health care great again? We must all reach out to doctors and do everything in our power to demonstrate that we value our country’s physicians before it’s too late.

The Alienation Of America’s Best Doctors | The Huffington Post

 Doctors are hurting and they don’t have the time to reach out.

Melinda Hakim MD—CEO of DoctorCPR.com—a medical career site that reaches over 500,000 medical professionals looking for jobs and resources.

I grew up in the ‘80s in awe of my dad who was a talented general surgeon. As a kid, I used to make rounds with him at the local hospitals in Los Angeles and had the opportunity to witness the overwhelming appreciation his patients had for his work. Our home was inundated with dozens of homemade baked goods, knitted scarves, gift baskets, and colorful “thank you” cards carefully prepared by his patients. He never complained about his job. Even if he had to leave a family event or wake up in the middle of the night to do a trauma case ― he was never resentful. He…

I am Offering Over $25,000 in cool prizes to anyone who can show past FSPHP President Sanchez did not commit at least 3 felonies based on documentary evidence alone! I claim the documents show direct evidence of multiple serious crimes –prove me wrong and the whole lot is yours!

The inability to obtain one’s own medical records or lab reports is the first obstacle one must overcome. The second barrier is that even if documents are obtained there is no one to give them to. The third is the existence of “point people” who deflect, block and otherwise dismiss valid complaints. The only oversight provided to the involved labs is an an accreditation agency, the College of American Pathologists (CAP) They can investigate and correct but do not have the ability to sanction.

screen-shot-2016-12-09-at-1-13-29-pmOf the many hundreds of doctors I have spoken to and who have taken my survey not one has been able to obtain evidence of abuse. It was either refused, censored or doctored. I have obtained documentary evidence that is specific, detailed and unequivocal.

It is therefore critical it be recognized for what it shows and it is morally imperative that those involved be held to account as the documents illustrate clearly and undeniably a collusion between a state PHP and its drug testing lab to fabricate evidence. The corruption is top-down as it involves another former FSPHP President Luis Sanchez and the VP of Laboratory operations at USDTL Joseph Jones. As explicit and detailed as it is in revealing unequivocal black and white crimes it has been ignored by the usual channels.

Research on street criminals suggests the certainty of punishment has the strongest deterrent effect (basically will I be caught) and the more people think they will be arrested for a crime the less likely they are to commit it. Criminals weigh their actions against possible gains and consequences and the risk of consequences in this system have been essentially zero. Diagnosis rigging, coercion, threats and abuse are rampant because they have no fear of punishment. The Chairman of the commission that examined the causes of the 2008 financial collapse compared the relatively small fines paid by corporations to “someone who robs a 7-Eleven, takes $1,000 and being able to settle for $25 and no admission of wrongdoing.” He added,“Will they do it again? Absolutely, because it pays.” This is like someone who robs a 7-Eleven, takes $1,000 and never gets caught so he goes to the next 7-Eleven and takes $2000 then hits as many 7-Elevens as he can for as much as he can.

According to Erich Fromm rational authority is based on competence, experience, and mutual respect.  Irrational authority is often disguised as benevolent paternalism and is designed to perpetuate or intensify conditions of inequality through the use or threat of force, deceptiveness, and secretiveness.

The Federation of State Physician Health Programs (FSPHP) has has operated as an unexamined authority for the past 25-years .  They have pushed practice and policy unquestioned and without opposition that has gravely harmed individual doctors, the medical profession itself and the public at large.  Everything they have done has been done to benefit themselves and their drug and alcohol assessment, testing and treatment affiliates in the provision of protections, power and profits.

Examining the specific practice and policy pushed reveals a body of false-claims making designed to facilitate the systemic use of coercion and threats, remove all due process protections and fundamental rights from physicians and prevent, block…

Beyond the Schoolyard: Workplace Bullying

mllangan1 Leave a comment

This infographic on workplace bullying was created by International Business Degree Guide to convey the message that workplace bullies not only hurt people, they can also hurt business–driving away good employees in their quest for control.

Adept at dissimulation, those in authority often see what the bully expressly feigns and pretends to be. Under observation by authority the bully hides his true self and often cultivates an image designed to please and impress.  Veiling truth to those in power protects the bully.  Reports of abuse are disbelieved or ignored; dismissed or minimized as exaggeration; deemed a product of bellyachers and whiners.

In addition to hiding his true self the bully will often tell superiors what they want to hear. The workplace bully promotes an image of loyalty, dedication and hard work to superiors and may even feign common ideals and goals.   This  impression management often works.

When bullying ends in tragedy it is often revealed that those who could and should have done something about it knew about it and did nothing.  This failure to act may be the result of blinkered apathy, willful ignorance and even malicious complicity.  This is especially true when the  political and ideological views of the bully align closely with those in charge and the victim of bullying is remotely aligned.

Moral superiority, bigotry, racism and other biases all too often factor into the equation.

Perhaps those without sufficient empathy of others to take action when reports of abuse and harassment are reported to them will do their jobs if they realize workplace bullying might harm them personally or what they value most.

Not only do workplace bullies hurt people, they can also hurt business – driving away good employees in their quest for control. What can you do if you find yourself having to face a bully every day?

Not All That Different …

Schoolyard bullies vs. workplace bullies
Both share a need for control – exercising power through humiliation of a target. If reinforced by cheering kids, fearful teachers or ignoring administrators, there is no reason to change and it often continues into adulthood. (1)

What Is a Workplace Bully?

Characteristics of a workplace bully: (2)

  • Tormenters
  • Tattlers
  • Finger pointers
  • Publicly pick on people
  • CC the whole world in emails
  • Point out your mistakes and tell everyone

Narcissism and self-orientation

What workplace bullies usually score high on in personality tests (3)

Bullying Victims

How many workers are dealing with bullies?
50%
Workers who say they’re treated rudely at least once a week (in 2011); up from 25% in 1998 (4)
66%

Bullying victims who had to lose or give up their jobs to make the bullying stop (1)
40% of workplace bullies are women, picking on other women more than 70% of the time. (5)

How Bullying Can Hurt Your Business

Work is stressful enough on its own, but adding a bully to the mix can make it unbearable.
9% of people say they’re happy at the office. (3)
Less than 1/3
Employees who say they’re engaged at work (3)

Workplace bullying can have serious negative effects on employees, such as: (6)

  • Stress
  • Absenteeism and low productivity
  • Lowered self-esteem and depression
  • Anxiety
  • Digestive upset
  • High blood pressure
  • Insomnia
  • Trouble with relationships due to stress over work

All of this can hit the company’s bottom line, causing: (6)

  • High turnover
  • Low productivity
  • Lost innovations
  • Difficulty hiring quality employees due a “hostile work environment” reputation

Got a Bully? Here’s How to Deal

Avoid the workplace in the first place (1)

  • Ask why the job is open and how long the predecessor was there (turnover is a bullying sign)
  • Ask about the attitude toward “workaholics.” If it’s expected, then you can know what you’re getting into
  • Ask about policies and codes that help ensure a respectful workplace

Once you encounter a bully (5)

  • Don’t get emotional (bullies like that)
  • Don’t blame yourself (the problem is the bully, not you)
  • Do your best work
  • Build a support network
  • Document everything
  • Seek help
  • Get counseling
  • Stay healthy
  • Educate yourself about policies
  • Don’t expect to change the bully
  • Start a new job search

25% of workplace bullying deals with discrimination. If that’s the case, you can talk to an attorney. (7)

Don’t hire a bully
Recognize certain traits in an interview process: They usually interview well due to a desire to control the situation. Invite them to an informal lunch and see if they’re empathetic (good) or brag about “cracking the whip” (bad). (8)

Recovery Related Racket: The Federation of State Physician Health Programs (FSPHP) represents the drug and alcohol testing, assessment and treatment industry not us. We need to name the enemy.

mllangan1 Leave a comment

It is important to recognize that PHPs do not represent the interests of doctors or the public.  PHPs represent the interests of the “recovery industry” including the multi-billion dollar drug and alcohol testing, assessment and treatment industries. Claiming an 80% success rate in doctors this system of institutional injustice is being brandished as the “new paradigm” of addiction treatment. Claiming it a replicable model, the plan is to convince other employee assistance programs to implement the “PHP-blueprint.”

Snakes in Smocks: Unrecognized Corporate Psychopathy in the Medical Profession

mllangan1 1 Comment

In his book Without Conscience, Dr. Robert Hare notes “If we can’t spot them, we are doomed to be their victims, both as individuals and as a society. ” Dr. Clive Boddy in Corporate Psychopaths observes that unethical leaders create unethical followers, which in turn create unethical companies and society suffers as a result.” And if you look at the FSPHP branch of the ASAM that is exactly what you will find.  less than 1/% of the population are psychopaths but they represent more that 10% of those in prisons.  What is the natural history of the physician psychopath? You do the math.

Screen Shot 2016-09-30 at 3.40.29 PM.pngASAM Weekly is a publication of the American Society of Addiction Medicine (ASAM) circulated by E-mail to “more than 25,00 addiction professionals” every Tuesday.  It provides timely news briefings of top stories related to addiction medicine. The current issue includes a  National Survey on Drug Use and Health study correlating substance use with suicidal ideation;  original research  suggesting a strong link between  alcohol use and”thwarted belonging”  ( wanting and needing to be with others being socially isolated ) with both homicidal and suicidal ideation in a group under community corrections supervision by the criminal justice system; a study of privately billed services looking at the economic impact of the opioid epidemic on the healthcare system (Fair Health White Paper) which found a 1000% increase in opioid related treatment and service costs between 2011 and 2014;  and an article written for the  Huffington Post entitled  “When ‘All or Nothing’ Means Life or Death”
