I wonder if those “socially conscious” doctors are beginning to regret their decision to hand out phony sick notes. First, the University of Wisconsin has begun looking into the matter, and now there is this:
Staff at the state Department of Regulation and Licensing have begun to review roughly 300 e-mail complaints about doctors issuing excuse notes […]

STATE OF WISCONSIN INVESTIGATING FAKE SICK NOTES FROM UNION-FRIENDLY DOCTORS
WISCONSIN AND THE NEW MEDICAL ETHICS
As I pointed out in  this post yesterday, a number of physicians from the University of Wisconsin have been openly abetting malingering teachers by writing fake sick notes so they can skip work to protest the “oppression” of Governor Scott Walker. Well, as Paul Hsieh writes in his latest piece for Pajamas Media, this is the result […]
MEET THE DOCTORS WHO ARE WRITING FAKE SICK NOTES FOR WISCONSIN TEACHERS
I noted earlier that these lefty docs from the University of Wisconsin are writing excuses with diagnoses like “Walker Pneumonia.” And they seem to be proud of this, so it seemed appropriate to make sure the word gets out about who they are and the nature of their their medical ethics:

James H Shropshire, […]
VIDEO: ANDREW BREITBART GIVEN PHONY DOCTOR NOTE FOR “WALKER PNEUMONIA�
During his visit to Wisconsin to cover the union thugfest, Andrew Breitbart decided to see if he could get one of those fake doctor notes we have been hearing about. Sure enough, he got one. And the diagnosis was Walker Pneumonia:
This gives gives new meaning to “health care reform,” although I have my doubts about […]
SURVEY: MOST DOCTORS SAY OBAMACARE WILL RAISE COSTS AND REDUCE QUALITY
The firm contacted a lot of docs for this survey, and most are not very sanguine about the future of our medical delivery system in the brave new world of ObamaCare.
The 2011 National Physicians Survey, conducted by Thomson Reuters/HCPlexus and polling almost 3,000 American doctors, shows that while Obamacare would raise spending, premiums, overall U.S. health […]
VIDEO: OCARE WILL CAUSE A MASS EXODUS OF PHYSICIANS FROM HEALTH CARE
This discussion covers yet another survey showing that large numbers of physicians will bail on the health care system if ObamaCare is actually implemented. The percentage seems a little high in this poll, but it confirms the general trend shown by a growing number of surveys:
40% OF DOCS TO BAIL IF OCARE IMPLEMENTED
Back in 2009, an IBD/TIPP poll showed that 4 in 9Â doctors would consider leaving their practice or taking an early retirement if ObamaCare or anything like it passed. In March of 2010, NEJM published a survey showing similar physician attitudes.
Now,  9 months after the “reform” bill was shoved down America’s throat, a new survey conducted by Merritt […]
DR. DREW DENOUNCES OBAMACARE
I don’t watch television, so I must confess that I had never heard of Drew Pinsky before I listened to this interview. Nonetheless, he certainly provides a succinct and accurate appraisal of the nanny-state boondoggle known as PPACA:
There will be a massive flight of physicians from the field and hospital closures.

VIDEO: DOCTORS TELL GOP TO GET SERIOUS ABOUT OBAMACARE REPEAL
In the AmSpec piece referenced in the preceding post, I suggest that the most difficult step in eradicating PPACA may well be getting the GOP fully on board with the defunding project. These docs make it clear that they (like the rest of us who voted Republican last Tuesday) are not interested in compromise:

VIDEO: AN MD EXPLAINS WHY NEARLY HALF OF U.S. PHYSICIANS ARE ABOUT TO QUIT MEDICINE
This speech, made Dr. David Janda on behalf of Dr. Rob Steele (who is running against Democrat John Dingell in Michigan) explains the realities of ObamaCare and why so many doctors have said they will quit practicing medicine if “reform” is actually implemented:
