Doctors in Union Sick Note Scam Contend Street Corner Exams Better Than Office Visits (more scamming from the unions) Doctors who handed out sick notes to protesters while on the corner of Mifflin and Hamilton streets last year claim protestors received more thorough examinations on the street in public than they would have at an office visit. This revelation was discoverd in an examination of documents obtained by the MacIver News Service through an open records request. The Medical Examining Board issued reprimands to seven doctors in October, who had given hundreds of sick notes to protesters last February so they wouldn’t get in trouble for skipping work. The MacIver News Service was the first to report on the incident with a video catching the doctors in the act. The video included one of the doctor’s examinations, in which the videographer gave a list of trivial symptoms. Dr. Shropeshire said he should take some time off of work and wrote him a note. Scores of complaints soon flowed to the Medical Examining Board, including a dozen from other physicians who saw the news reports. “This is not medicine, and the doctors standing on the street issuing these fraudulent medical excuses are completely unethical in doing so,” wrote Dr. Paul Maguire. maciverinstitute.com
