Fake Doctors’ Notes Being Handed Out at Wisconsin Gov. Union Rally
MacIver News Service ^ | 2/19/11

Posted on 02/19/2011 12:20:24 PM PST by rhema

[Madison, WI] As tens of thousands of public employees skipped work this week to attend protest rallies outside the Wisconsin State Capitol, many wondered if they would face any disciplinary action for unexcused absences.

On Saturday, a group of men and women in lab coats purporting to be doctors were handing out medical excuse notes, without examining the ‘patients.’

“I asked this doctor what he was doing and he told me they were handing out excuses to people who were feeling sick due to emotional, mental or financial distress,” said Christian Hartsock. “They never performed an exam–he asked me how I was feeling today and I said I’m from California and I’m not used to the cold, so he handed me a note.”

Another woman, who wished to remain anonymous, said they were handing out excuses like they were leaflets.

“I asked if they were handing out doctors’ excuses and a guy said yes and asked me if I needed one,” she said. “When I told them I needed one for February 16 and 17th, he wondered if I wanted to come back here for the protests next week.”

What happened next?

“I said, ‘sure,’ and I received a doctor’s note for the 16th through the 25th of February, without a medical exam.”

The notes read

Feb 19, 2011

Patient’s name______

Date of birth ____/_____/_____

To Whom it May Concern:

This is confirm I have seen and evaluated the above named patient.

Please excuse from work/school due to a medical condition from

____/____/____ through

Please contact me at badgerdoctors@gmail.com if additional information is needed. Thank you.

Sincerely,

Physician Signature:

Physician Name

WI license number

Based on an examination of the signature and medical license number provided, one of the men handing out these notes was purporting to be James H Shropshire MD, a Clinical Associate Professor at the University Wisconsin Madison.

At this time, MacIver News Service is attempting to contact Dr. Shropshire to see if indeed he was the one handing out the notes on the Capitol Square.

It looks as if all those doctors are affiliated with the University of Wisconsin.

Leftists on campus??

Seems that perhaps Hannah’s been hanging around the liberal college a little too long. She’s lost her moral compass (assuming she ever had one).

Every time these perps pull a new trick, I’m shocked all over again.

I haven't been shocked since Bill Clinton got elected.

Not only should these doctors get fired, but the news video shoing TEACHERS who claim to be out sick should get them fired too

VIDEO as many of them as possible, and then ID them

IF they present a note that they were out sick then show the video and FIRE THEM

“file a complaint today with wisconsin’s medical licensure board”

Already done. I’m an RN and as another poster, absolutely livid. This is a felony on both the doctor’s and teacher’s part. They all need to lose both their jobs and licenses or certifications. We’re still a country with laws. If the teachers want to protest then they need to do it lawfully and be prepared to face the consequences. They must not get a pass on this.

If the University of Wisconsin is a public university, and these three doctors are proven to have participated in this illegal fraud, then they should be fired, have their licenses revoked, and be prosecuted to the fullest extend of the law.

Seeing a new change as the hours pass too.. They are interviewing teachers who are now saying “OK I am willing to take the pay cut but where will it end?”

I smell fear...

Yep!

Someone should start a thread with nothing but pics and links to video so we all can pile through them and ID them all.

too many unemployed people to not take a pay cut the private sector has done it for two years in many industries. Take it or hit the road.

These so called “doctors” show how large the lawlessness and lack of ethics is in our country. They should be dealt with swiftly and harshly.

Go get her. File complaints to the medical review board. By law they must investigate.

I wonder if they could yank a few doctors licenses due to false actions?

How many of these ‘doctors’ are affirmative action and/or political doctors? I’ve just been taken off a railroad to death by overdosing by a previous ‘doctor’ for statins. My wife and I came to the conclusion the ‘doctor’ was a pill ‘doctor’ who probably had a very good affirmative action education. He was the only ‘doctor’ available at the time of choice in our medical plan. I knew university graduates going into medical school whom I wouldn’t trust as to my well being. Things have only become worse.

That’s the patient’s name. The doctor’s name is at the bottom. The woman interviewed on Fox said that the doctors did NOT ask for any ID so any name could have been given.

What’s important is that the physician signed the form and printed their name. Unless these are forgeries by someone masquerading as a doctor (and since she’s already said that she did this elsewhere in a video), there is proof of guilt right here.
