Wisconsin "Badger Doctors" Go Unpunished
— Gabriel Malor

Remember that while the flee-baggers were hiding in Illinois, Wisconsin teachers were abandoning their classrooms to join protestors trashing the Capitol. In something of a role-reversal, the teachers were giving fraudulent sick notes to the schools to get out.

Some of the doctors giving out free sick notes were disciplined last week. But 10 more have gone unpunished:

The 10 additional doctors identified in the records, like some of the seven doctors reprimanded, used sick note form letters listing badgerdoctors@gmail.com as their contact information. The district cited that as grounds for declaring all notes from those doctors as fraudulent.
When asked Friday why the state didn't investigate the additional doctors and if the state reviewed the school district's sick notes during its investigation, Gasper didn't directly answer the questions.
"We received hundreds of emails from concerned citizens seeking to bring this issue to our attention," Gasper said. "If new complaints arise, they will be responded to through the normal process, given a fair review and acted upon by the Medical Examining Board if they believe such action is warranted."
The State Journal is not naming the additional doctors because it could not be determined if they have been accused of any wrongdoing.

Uh huh. Don't hold your breath.

Based upon how professional and mature the Wisconsin state spparachiks have been over the course of this whole kerfuffle, I must say that this is entirely unexpected and out of character!

I would have expected jail time for the whistleblowers instead.

Speaking of Michigan...

Gov Snyder convinced the DOT and idiots in Detroit to scrap their plan for a $600M "light-rail" system that would "attract new people and businesses" and "spur economic activity" and lower greenhouse gases.

(Funny how every dollar the Democrats waste on stupid shit is great for both the environment and the economy, eh?)

Snyder suggested they instead improve the existing bus line.

btw, we all know that it would cost at least twice the projected $600M for the stupid Lyle Lanley train

5 This is not surprising, given the bureaucrats' willingness to let bogus Recall Walker petitions to skate through. http://tinyurl.com/c545rns This is why I worry that, no matter what any "Should Walker be Recalled?" poll says, the vote counting will be so bogus, even Castro will call it unfair because the machine has tried twice to overturn Walker, and they seem determined to keep trying until they succeed.

Can you imagine the balls on these people.

Blowing $600M for a rail system in Detroit???

Apparently, the federal govt and Detroit has money to burn.

And if that's the case...Lower Our Goddam Taxes.

20 Equally as disgusting (and equally unsurprising) is the behavior of the newspaper. "The State Journal is not naming the additional doctors because it could not be determined if they have been accused of any wrongdoing." Really? Is that the new newspaper standard?

36 As I alluded to in a comment during the Thursday debate, when Gingrich rightly pointed out that wayward, unaccountable judges should be subjected to impeachment (though I hope for summary execution)--this once again calls for citizen militias who will exact retribution against agents who advocate for moral turpitude. This will happen, so my advice to moronation is to develop strategies and make informal contacts among fellow like-minded defenders of freedom. Vigilantism is the purest form of justice.

Same deal in Colorado. I think 6 doctors were writing a high percentage of all the prescriptions. I listened to a conversation on a bus. One guy was saying it took him about 10 minutes to get a prescription from his Boulder gynocolgist.

No you're not wrong, CoolCzech. ....They should lose their licenses for that alone, I was just trying to give some other basic reasons why that should happen.

If their ethics are disposable, then they have no business being doctors.

I was a young mother and my husband and I, at 18, didn't have a pot to piss in. We worked more than FT jobs, but didn't have anything to spare. Of course, at 18 and married, things like Hey, we can't afford a baby didn't really cross our minds.

Well, a really terrific Catholic hospital offered no cost or discounted Obstetrics and I qualified for discount services. All participants were required to attend a a group orientation about the program, and part of that orientation was instruction on proper hygiene.

28 years ago and I am still appalled at the thought that it had been shown necessary to tell people to wash their asses before going to the doctor.

66 My question is what disciplinary actions were taken against teachers who were breaking their union contract by taking days off from work when they weren't sick. Again, teachers who were at that protest on school days were breaking their contract, unless they used personal or business days, or unless their is something in the way sick days are defined in their contract. Many teachers do have about 2 days that they are allowed to take off for any reason they like. But if they used those days as sick days, they should be in trouble.

I used to wear perfumed lotion and powder and during one of my visits to the hospital during my pregnancy, the young doctor was making conversation while down there and commented that I smelled nice.

I knew immediately that he was mortified. There was all this tinkering with the gadgets down there and then suddenly he froze. I believe if there had been any way possible for him to shrivel and die he would have chosen to do so. When finally, perhaps 3 or 4 minutes later, he regained his composure, he closed up shop and got the hell out of there. I never saw him again.

I can't imagine how he asked to get off the rotation.
