Protest at the Wisconsin Capitol, Saturday, Part 15

[r1cefed]

None of these lazy assholes are sick. These are liberal screwball doctors trying to do their part for the left agenda and keep the useless teachers from getting fired that are not working and not teaching the kids they care so much about. They all deserve to get fired and the doctors should lose their liscense to practice medicine. That is just as bad as writing fake scripts.

[lilbp7]

Any of you people that are saying these doctors should lose their licenses are freaking idiots! People go into clinics to be seen as "sick" to get a doctor's note to miss work EVERY DAY! Most jobs nowadays require you to get a doctor's note or get written up and even face termination if you don't! Then if you're not really sick, and you're going into the clinic for a note, you're wasting those doctor's time that they could be helping people that are really sick, and not pretending!

[lilbp7]

@lilbp7 These doctors are doing a service to the local clinics so they don't get bogged down by people that are there to get a doc's note excusing them from work. That way the people that REALLY ARE sick can be seen in a timely fashion.

So many idiots out there... geez... can't you people think for yourself instead of what the government feeds you?

[6gu7]

Fuckdrunk republicans dont get it.. What comes around goes around.......

[pinandpuller]

I guess that quiet and bedrest is out of the question. Are these doctors billing insurance for "visits"? If the doctors are willing to work for free why not have them take up all of the slack in Wisconsin's health care system-problem solved.

[TheShannon76]

I have a hard time believing that gentleman is a doctor. In terms of professional appearance and ability to articulate himself, the standards really have fallen. I'm not saying all doctors are well dressed and brilliant communicators, but this man doesn't communicate confidence.

[nudeteawithwoodreaux]

i hope these fuckers all lose their licences.

[BCRTomah]

@nudeteawithwoodreaux Did you get a D from a teacher you had a crush on? Poor angry child. Maybe you should have seen the guidance couselor.

[nudeteawithwoodreaux]

@BCRTomah those doctors actions are as irresponsible as standing outside a methadone clinic writing scripts for oxycontin to everyone walking through the door. sounds like you need some.

[lordsomber]

First, do no work.

[jnnnyms]

The most effective method of complaint is directly contacting both the residency program director, and the chair of the family medicine department. The family medicine residency program director is: Dr. Kathy Oriel, MD, MS, telephone: (608) 265-3653, email: kathy.oriel@fammed.wisc.edu. The chair of the entire family medicine department is Dr. Valerie Gilchrist, MD. Her telephone number is: (608) 265-0856, email: valerie.gilchrist@fammed.wisc.­edu .

[SandRiverWolf]

Sure it is, Fallen- that's why all the dignitaries go to Mayo in Rochester.

Patrick- you gotta learn to understand English- they haven't 'earned' what they're getting- they're taking it from the taxpayer. A 'decent wage'? They get a 'decent wage' and aren't going to lose it- they're just going to have to pay a more equitable share for their benefits- they aren't losing their 'bargaining' option: just have to do it yearly, and not be forced to join or pay dues to a union.

Yes, I read the bill.

[blogbat]

Wildcat strikes are illegal, and as such these doctors are accessories to crime. No mountain for a molehill if you're a pro-abort, though, since they’re already way past breaking the Hippocratic Oath.

[ronnoc924]

Hmm.. Anyone here actually read what the bill said?

@jdybarra And Yes, this is fraud.

[jdybarra]

This is fraud. These doctors should have their licenses revoked.

[MrSpartan1973]

This is Dr. Patrick McKenna, D.O. He is a real doctor! His office is at University of Wisconsin UW Health Verona Clinic, 100 North Nine Mound Rd, Verona, WI 53593 (608) 845-9531.

Check him out yourself. This is legitimate, just as he says!

[Viracocha711]

@MyVeryBesttoYou you are 1000% correct! I can't believe there are so many naive delusional people in the middle class that allow themselves to be fooled into voting against WE THE PEOPLE & for the wealthy & the corporations! These people are "inFOXicated" from watching only FOX "News" & listening to Talk Radio...And NEVER fact checking the trash they are being fed on a daily basis! IT IS A SHAME!!

[ATACXGYM]

Exactly what are they protesting? And there is no comparison to the Tea Party Nut Jobs

[PatricksTime]

huge difference between the tea party and this protest!

[ATACXGYM]

@PatricksTime gigantic difference.I completely agree.

[PatricksTime]

@ATACXGYM the tea party wants to keep more of their own money while these bums are protesting for more government handouts! they are protesting on the tax payers dime!!!

[Viracocha711]

@PatricksTime Are you truly that delusional? You are crazy if you think middle class working people should not be able to come together to stand up to corporate power & demand a decent wage! And when it comes to public employees they already make 6%-8% less than private employees! You need to get your head out your ass & look at what is happening to the middle class!

[bapyou]

@PatricksTime "these bums are protesting for more government handouts!"

No, they are protesting to keep what rights and benefits and wages that they have earned. Corporations get the largest government handouts. Why aren't you complaining about those, you coward?

The true genius of right-wing propaganda has been to focus your attention and hatred on government and away from Wall Street where the true theives are. Wall Street has always been anti-union. And you're a snivelling coward.

[R0773N]

@bapyou Unions are the ones stealing directly from our pocket, with the exception of TARP.

[azazel221]

@bapyou You're funny. You resort to name calling in a debate that you tried to start.

[Viracocha711]

@PatricksTime YES...The Tea Partiers are simply TOOLS of corporate America & the wealthy! They think they are "patriots" or whatever but they will think otherwise in 10-15yrs when they are working for shit & have no health care! It if was not such a huge threat to the middle class it would be funny to see so many being USED simply because they think they are patriots! TOOLS!

[lolasez]

The ethical doctors of Wisconsin should be concerned about their reputations within their communities. So now everyone who visits a new doctor should be asking "did you give out any fraudulent documents in February of 2011?"

[jcwerner]

guy should lose his licence

[elhrac]

Let's hope these doctors will not be on any Death Panels.

[jimboster]

Hey, is that Mike Ditka to the right starting at 10 second mark?

[ClantonBrothers]

James H. Shropshire, MD

Louis Sanner, MD

Anne Eglash, MD

Hannah Keevil, MD

Patrick McKenna, MD

Kathy Oriel, MD

Bernard F. Micke, MD

[dundundun56]

not dishonest?? lol. uhhh yea that's dishonest..

[korieann]

Love the tie-dye tent in the background. Why am I not shocked?

[cbinflux]

McKenna is a third-yr trainee at a WI Univ.  One wonders whether they have an Ethics Code?

[cbinflux]

At around 2:15, the pudgy doc's name is shown. Can anyone make it out?

[cbinflux]

@cbinflux

"Based on an examination of the signature and medical license number provided, one of the men handing out these notes was purporting to be James H Shropshire MD, a Clinical Associate Professor at the University Wisconsin Madison."

[cbinflux]

Dr. Patrick Mckenna, DO of 100 North Nine Mound Road

Verona, WI 53593 giving DOs everywhere a bad name?

IS he an MD?

[Yehudittx]

@cbinflux Probably a chiropractor. (Ducks from righteous rage of chiropractors....)

[TomMichaels101]

"My parents were teachers, therefore I'm going to commit fraud to help some human beings be parasitic on other human beings."

Idiot.

[nasagirl45]

@TomMichaels101 they are doing a good deed idiot
