These docs teach at U of WI Med Schl? Egad!

Its sad, but what puzzles me [Publius at Big Govt dot
com] most is how in the world three of the four physicians I can identify from these videos and other media reports are faculty members of UWs Family Medicine department, and one is a senior resident in that same department. Its a good training program, committed to providing sorely-needed primary care doctors to the state of Wisconsin. It teaches professionalism, and its faculty are supposed to model integrity. What were they thinking?

Theyve managed to belittle a public trust between physicians, employers and patients. A doctors sick note is a serious document. It represents an employers desire to verify through a respected, independent, medically qualified third party the fact of an illness and the true need for convalescence. In the videos now circulating online, we witness multiple members of a noted family medicine department trash one of the well-recognized rights and privileges of their profession, with little forethought as to the consequences.

They dumb doctors’ notes down. Who will ever believe them? (It’s like what has happened to leftism-infected [sick?] media, a squandering of credibility.)
