Nanny State PING!

[Rodamala]

Thought Tme Lords were a lot older than 88. How old is Doctor Who?

[Mortrey]

God love this man.

“While he was deemed ‘incompetent’ at a recent board hearing, ‘He said the charge is a catchall,’ reports the Post, ‘one designed to avoid citing a specific occupational violation.’ He also made some good points in his own defense”

It would be interesting to know on what basis the board feels Landrum is incompetent. It’s possible there are other issues here, such as the doc’s skills are no longer up to snuff due to his age. IF that is the case, they ought to be able to provide specific examples and reasons.

If, however, the only beef they have is that the guy is now using his car as his office (instead of the building he fled because of crime issues), leave the poor guy alone! Performing basic diagnoses and writing scripts from your car isn’t really all that different than the mobile clinics you see servicing poor areas in some urban areas. It’s a little unorthodox, but as long as the guy isn’t doing outpatient surgery on the hood, I don’t see a problem here. (Again, so long as there are no legit issues with the doc’s competency).

The article is a powerful indictment of government seeking its own ends and rejecting its charter as servant to the people.

[Secret Agent Man]

amen. and bless him too.

[Seruzawa]

AMA scum.

[Secret Agent Man]

hey if abortion clinics get waivers and don’t get inspected once every 11-14 years and have less sanitary conditions than his car, i think they can cut him some slack given the people he’s trying to genuinely assist.

That my FRiend is a very powerful and true statement.

First the left pretends that no medical infrastructure exists to treat indigent patients, then the left deliberately destroys that infrastructure, so that Obamacare can’t be repealed without causing actual harm to patients.

[marron]

I think if I was 88 years old, I would just ignore them and ignore their orders.

[9thLife]

This is what the world’s greatest medical marketplace has come to.

There was that demonstration the other year in Wisconsin (I think) where doctors were writing sick leave notices in the street for the protestors. Why was that not much of a problem?

[BCW]

Doesn’t pay to be nice and actually a God fearing citizen anymore...wanting to help and aid a fellow man...

THANKS TO ALL YOU FREAKS THAT VOTED OBAMA IN TWICE!

Well said.

You're looking at this logically. The State looks at it as an affront to its power. Real power is the power to punish the innocent.

But there is no electronic medical record!

Then it is not medical care.

Guilty, practicing medicine without a computer.
