The mentality we are dealing with–

“I’ve known several docs over the years who have been forced into treatment by the state for substance issues. To the man they have been able to stay in practice by following mandated treatment programs whether they believed the plans to be valid or not. The docs who took a stand and fought the Board spent years wasting their effort and money. Even after all of that defiance, the one’s I’ve known are able to return to practice after capitulating and complying with the mandated treatment plan. One wound up living in his in-laws’ basement and ending with half a million in debt before he stopped fighting. But 30 days later he was back in practice and stayed with it for decades.

I believe the way we must look at this is that the Boards see this as a patient safety issue. Rightly or wrongly they issue firm but achievable goals and as long as the doc goes along with it, life goes on. I’ve not known a single doc to win fighting the board.

So I have to say is this the hill you want to on then by all means soldier on.”

This group has been protected from criticism for the better part of a generation. They have enjoyed making authoritative pronouncements as unexamined authority. Their power depends entirely on not being questioned as what is behind the curtain is flimsy and dredged,  a Potemkin village.   The recent Medscape and BMJ articles are revealing that confrontation with direct and precise questions results in nothing but logical fallacy, distortions and lies.  They are utterly incapable of responding with a direct and precise answer.   Gunderson’s response to absent oversight  is just another example of this logical fallacy and distortion.  This is not how rational authority responds. This is not how legitimate authority responds.  I kindly invite her to debate this.  I would like a back-and-forth to clarify.  It is a simple question that deserves a simple answer and I know she follows my blog as she used her own name and e-mail address.

“Some people without brains do an awful lot of talking, don’t you think?” 
― L. Frank Baum, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz

Any critical analysis would reveal cherry picking and proof by anecdote; deceptive propaganda and double talk; contradictory, illogical and incomprehensible jabber; unprovable and  un-disprovable statements and a panoply of logical fallacy.  These groups suppress specific questions and deliberately avoid key facts. They misrepresent, censor, nit pick and split hairs to make  “data” fit their hypothesis.     Little is behind the curtain.    The concept of denial is not just used to force people into “assessments” and provide unneeded treatment but used to  justify ongoing and unmitigated coercion and abuse.  They have been left alone to proliferate like feral cats for the past generation–unopposed, unexamined and unquestioned.  Lord of the Flies Medicine.  So why are we not questioning this “authority?”

The current physician health program/ medical board  system is beyond fixing. We need a mass movement to demand radical progressive change. Doctors are dropping like flies!  In almost all states today any physician referred for an “assessment” by their state PHP  will be mandated to do so at  a facility just like Ridgeview.   There is no choice. There is one difference however.   When the Ridgeview suicides occurred the plethora of laboratory developed tests were not yet introduced.

A decade ago Dr. Gregory Skipper introduced the first laboratory developed test for forensic testing and used it on doctors in physician health programs.   These non-FDA approved tests of unknown validity presented a new unpredictable variable into the mix with a positive test necessitating another assessment at an out of state treatment facility—a “PHP-approved” assessment facility. The addition of this laboratory Russian Roulette renders the current system much worse than it was at the time of the Ridgeview suicides.

And if a positive test occurs there are no safeguards protecting the donor. LDTs are unregulated by the FDA. There is no oversight and no one to file a complaint with.

State PHPs currently  have no oversight or regulation.  They police themselves. Medical boards, departments of public health and medical societies provide no oversight. They don’t look and they don’t care. Zero accountability.   This needs to change.
