I wonder how many other places this is happening? None of the scenarios here seem all that unique.

#22Imagine being the reporter for this and reading all this, talking to everyone, and then talking to the man himself, and then have to write "no criminal charges pressed"
Criminal charges aside, he still has his medical license. One hand washes the other I suppose and the hospital itself isn’t blameless here.

#24We need more people like Dr. Randy Sasich for having the fortitude to resist this story getting swept away

#25medicine is still run on a first name, word of mouth basis, the paper is fluff , the vast majority of which is never looked at.
the article mentions a behavior of many many short
visits bieng billed, this is called "churning" and
churners, the doctors who provide this nessesary service are well known.Churners provide hand pats
and prescriptions to patients who are generaly, non compliant to the best medical advice, and are
only looking for some afermation, and is in reality, a cross between pschotherapy and a social
club, much lke a bartender or other underrated member of the work force.
And ALL of the churners are bieng sued, ALL of the time, thats there other function, taking the blame.
I know of churner doctors, who have been sued, and have lost there licence, but are still employed by the medical board, hated, victimised,blamed, but still needed, and now ireplacable.And yes they see hundreds of patients
a week, who would get, nothing, otherwise.
Having been born into a medical family, medical/military, I have heard a great deal of what actualy goes on, and all of the regulation
only makes it worse.
Go into a real medical environment now, and the offices are lined in computers and lap tops, that
are then burried in paper.
Both of my parents, who worked in the system, are now patients themselves, and its an ugly ugly mess.
More regulation will break the system,is breaking it
