The University of Wisconsin has decided to act against doctors in their system that provided fraudulent medical excuses for demonstrators in Madison earlier this year. The medical school reviewed allegations against 22 of its faculty/staff and will remove them from “leadership positions” and dock their pay:
UW Health doctors who wrote sick notes for protesters at the Capitol in February face penalties up to a loss of pay and leadership positions, the UW School of Medicine and Public Health said Tuesday.
The medical school reviewed 22 UW Health doctors said to have been involved in writing medical excuses for protesters attending rallies over Gov. Scott Walker’s budget proposals, according to a medical school statement.
Some of those alleged to have participated were found to be in the clear, according to the statement. The school will not comment on who specifically got exonerated and who will face disciplinary action, citing privacy reasons. However, if loss of leadership positions occur, it will be pretty easy to pick out the guilty.

This should be the main news story today, but instead we get to watch a dog and pony show with Trump and Obama going on and on about a bigger certificate of birth. America! Don't watch the hand that's got your attention. It's the other one that's stealing our future.

These docs have tenure. There will be no consequences.

I believe writing a prescription to a non-patient is sufficient to have your medical license revoked, as it should be, but we’ll see.

Tenure does not exclude removal for criminal behavior. However, I agree with you. - Nothing will happen.

The University of Wisconsin has decided to act against doctors in their system that provided fraudulent medical excuses for demonstrators in Madison earlier this year. The medical school reviewed allegations against 22 of its faculty/staff and will remove them from “leadership positions” and dock their pay: I'd think that criminal fraud should result in termination of employment and a loss of medical license.

Wonder how many new students a medical college would get if all the professors were not licensed doctors.

They should also put dirty, smelly skid marks on their school transcripts/resumes.
Remove the tp from the restrooms replacing with the "good" doctor's transcripts/resumes.

Nothing new here. U. of Wisconsin is rampant with liberal, communistic types.
They should lose their license to practice. Not, just get a reduction in pay.

I agree with this action. Doctors are held to a higher standard (of morality) than the rest of us.
