The court date has already passed. Did Wehby lose her license for being one of many physicians named in the court filing? She didn't even have to testify, so far as I can tell. War on Women, Oregon style.
I'm hoping Sly is moving the posts from the other thread, but I do have a question. Should all pediatricians in Oregon also screen the parents of the kids that enter their practice for mental problems? Or, should the state of Oregon screen foster parents/adoptive parents before they even get the kids?
I haven't posted a thing about Merkley on this board, and he votes with Obama almost 100% of the time. Who are the other doctors who were duped? Sounds like there were many of them. What are their political affiliations?
I hope the state does some sort of screening before they are given kids. From what I understand Wehby does an unusual/very specialized/slightly controversial form of spinal surgery on children with bladder control problems. It would seem to me, not a medical doctor, that a mother presenting 3 unrelated children that require the same rare medical treatment should have raised alarm bells with Dr Wehby.
None of them are running for political office. If they were, dem or pub, I would expect the press would bring this up.
Do you know how much of being a doctor is guesswork, and how malpractice suits for either performing the wrong surgery, or not performing the surgery, weighs and cost doctors? Based on your criteria, Greg Oden should sue whoever performed micro-fracture on him, since now in hindsight it may have been unnecessary. This is a non-issue for reasonable people. Other respected doctors were duped as well. It's hard to account for "crazy" in any risk-management scenario. I assume that my daughters' doctors took what my wife and I said about our daughters symptoms seriously, and I hope they still do to this day. Kids aren't going to give a 5-minute detailed self-diagnosis on what they think is wrong with them. This entire thing is ridiculous to me as a father who trusts what my daughters' doctors are doing, even though there really is no set protocol on how to treat it.
I think you're over your head here, and that you're arguing just to argue. I know that ToB and you are real people with real lives; I can't say the same about jlprk and barfo, so sorry if I'm coming across as harsh.
It's part of a pattern of very bad judgement: 1) doing brain surgery on kids that didn't need it 2) stalking 2 different guys 3) being a republican barfo
Global just means he moderates more than one forum but as a rule we do not let non Blazer mods moderate the Blazer forum. Actually I can't recall Barfo doing any moderating in the Blazer forum for years now but he does occasionally give very good advice in the secret Blazer moderator forum.
