This wrist slap won’t even require a bandage.
The State of Wisconsin Medical Examining Board has found fault with medical record keeping of the doctors who participated in the sick note scam first exposed by the MacIver News Service in February.
The Board issued formal reprimands for seven Doctors involved in the scandal and will require them to attend four hours of continuing education on the importance of keeping proper records.
Four. Whole. Hours.
No discipline was issued for the sham sick notes that were handed out on the street corner without having conducted a proper medical examination. The lawyers for the doctors played the pity card today, complaining about the threats and abuse the doctors suffered after we exposed their scam to the nation 9 months ago.
Sure, they eventually nailed Capone on tax fraud, but at least he actually faced real punishment.
