Via Drudge, one of the more hypocritical moments of the union protests in Madison gets committed to videotape by MacIver Institute. Why hypocritical? Well, imagine what these same teachers would say if their students got doctors to sign notes en masse at the mall to teenagers that play hooky from their classes. Great lesson these teachers are giving their students, especially the ones they brought in tow to Wisconsin’s capital:
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.”
Don’t miss the doctor who scolded the cameraman because he doesn’t hang out at the capital every day for a year before asking questions about aiding and abetting fraud. Perhaps the state might want to look into these cases of inadequate examination and potential misdiagnosis by the “doctors” who issued those notes, too.
The guy in red appears to be an academia type - one might wonder if he’s a Clinical Psychologist or something. They can issue prescriptions in most states. I wonder if they’re being paid by the union? I can’t see them do it for free.
Yup, she spent about 300 grand for her schooling and she is about to see it go out the window.
I hope she is good at the worlds oldest profession.
There is no Dr. Keevil...those people are not doctors.
I hope she is good at the worlds oldest profession.
Looking at her and her attitude, I suppose she could make a living at below union hooker piece work wages...make it up in volume. I guess Laz would hit it if the price was right.
A investigator could run a hell of a sting op here.
Just put it out that the people who received these can come in and present them at (a particular place) and get refunded (a certain amount of cash) to supplement their sick pay.
When these idiots show up, grab the notes and throw them in jail and you’d have the notes as proof of the Drs fraud.
Its fraud all the way around!
See post number 24.
This is just practice for scamming ObamaCare. You would think they have it down now with scamming MediCare and MedicAid, but I guess not. Practice makes perfect!
Shropshire:
“No it should be pretty safe. The conservatives won’t come near us cause we will be in the middle of the union rally. Don’t worry about it.
Holly: You sure?
Shropshire: Sure, just you wait and see...
Micke: I don’t see a problem here....
Later on:
Holly: Who are those peoople with the cameras?
Shropshire: Oh just teachers to whom I gave an excuse.
Holly: Uh...so did I. You think?
Shropshire: Nah... just teachers.
Imagine their surprise to find themselves on Drudgereport...
I would love to be a fly on the wall.
Good idea but I believe Hippa makes such a demand illegal
I’ll be damned. Maybe they’re dumber than I thought.
Here is the good Drs goods.
LOL! Your right..thay are dumber than you thought. See below your post.
Is Laz that hard up?
Fox news is playing this up big time. So, it got noticed.
Boy-O-Boy..I have got to go get me some beer and popcorn. This is really gonna get good.
Doesn’t WI have a state medical board? Seems they would have an interest in preserving some semblance of a professional reputation. Handing out work excuses en mass in a public place hardly fills the bill. Can this be legal?
