"One of the biggest stresses in life is the threat of loss of income, loss of job....

Did the good doctor counsel them that the best way NOT to get fired is to GET BACK TO WORK?!?!?!?!

These union teachers don’t think getting a false note from a doctor is wrong because they think teaching kids is a joke, and that their employment is a nice gravy train compliments of the tax payers.

Maybe they’re the same ones who donned the handed-out white coats at the WH two years ago. I hope an attorney versed in malpractice takes on their baleful street corner medicine show.

I've been a teacher now for 28 years. I rarely take a sick day, saving them in case of some possible future illness. They came in handy after back, and gall bladder surgery.

I have 180 sick day accumulated, and refuse to use them for anything else. My next payday I will be docked 2 days because I will not lie (my brother passed away last Sunday, they gave me 4 days, but since we had to bring him home from Rockford, we needed a few more days)

This Lou Sanner guy should be reported to an ethics board along with this article as evidence.

How is what he did any different than a quack writing up a fake diagnosis for a fraudulent disability claim? Prosecute him.

These are the same sort of doctors who will certify that a hangnail or a sore muscle is grounds for workman’s compensation or disability benefits. And we wonder why the system’s broke.

These are the same kind of doctors who advocate with politicians the need to weaken gun ownership laws. They believe that having guns in a house is a mental health issue (first heard of this when Tipper Gore was involved as the VP wife of Al “the sound of mind” Gore) and that doctors should question their young patients about guns in the house because it could be a contributing factor in their health profile.

Damn the law, then. Why is the State interfering in private business?

THIS IS THE UPSHOT OF STATE LICENSING: You get diagnosed depending upon your political affiliation. You become a DOCTOR, an MD, only if show show fealty to the current political powers and philosophy.

These cads of MDs in Madison are only demonstrations of the future of Medicine if we continue State Licensing.

What a pathetic excuse for a “doctor.” I hope he is disciplined and shunned.

Nice red flag for a teacher to have on their record.

The so called ‘doctor’ thinks nothing of street corner diagnoses?

Did he write prescriptions for these suffering masses?

Did you know that in the private sector you have a certain number of sick days per year and if you don’t use them, you lose them?

Given the number of days off during a school year I find this practice of ‘saving’ sick days an insult to the long suffering taxpayer. Most likely, home owners.
