8. In Japan, Dr. F would be designated a National Treasure by now!

How can we thank this man enough for his unwavering dedication and service to the American people and doing so with slimebags like Trump and Paul and Caputo to deal with?

11. No fucking shit, eh?

How can we thank this man enough for his unwavering dedication and service to the American people

We can't.

No one that holds to their professional ethics and obligations despite a Tsunami of opposition like the good doctor has had to endure can possibly be thanked enough.

9. Rand Paul is far more interested in pushing his political ideology than he is in fighting Covid

That's one of the few explanations for the nonsense that spews out of his lying gob. The other is that he's just an incompetent physician.

13. He's an eye doctor.

And while I admire anyone that has endured and completed the rigors of the American medical schooling system, in this regard ( a major, worldwide, infectious pandemic), he is out of his fucking lane.

14. He got mad at the AMA certifying board for ending lifetime certifications, and started his own.

A board that no credentialing organization accepted. I don't think his board certified very many doctors. I don't think it even exists, anymore.

I'd love to see his NPDB report.

17. Basically a stomping of the feet and the angry folding of ones arms....

to no avail?


LOL...perfect!



What a shitstain

18. No, he's such a smarmy little weasel!

"In 1995, Paul passed the American Board of Ophthalmology (ABO) boards. Prior to this, in 1992, the ABO had changed its certification program, which had previously awarded lifetime certifications, instead requiring doctors to recertify every 10 years. Those who had already been given lifetime certification were allowed to keep it (according to the ABO, they would not legally have been able to rescind these certifications).

Shortly after this change, Paul began a campaign to protest it. This effort culminated in 1997 with him creating, "along with 200 other young ophthalmologists", the National Board of Ophthalmology (NBO) to offer an alternative certification system, at a cost substantially lower than that of the ABO.

Named board members were Paul, his wife, and his father-in-law. The NBO was, itself, never accepted as an accrediting entity by organizations such as the American Board of Medical Specialties, and its certification was considered invalid by many hospitals and insurance companies.

Paul let his own ABO certification lapse in 2005, which did not affect his practice in Kentucky; the state does not require board certification. By Paul's estimate, about 50 or 60 doctors were certified by the NBO. The NBO was incorporated in 1999, but Paul allowed it to be dissolved in 2000 when he did not file the required paperwork with the Kentucky Secretary of State's office. He later recreated the board in 2005, but it was again dissolved in 2011.

19. I spent years credentialing physicians for our health plan. He would never have been approved

A lot of plans now have board eligibility/certification, via the AMA or AOA, as a requirement for physician participation. I used to get some real strange boards submitted as "proof" of their certification. And man oh man did those doctors get cranky when I notified them they weren't eligible unless they could provide letters of recommendation from 3 peers, attesting to the quality of their skills. And those letters had to be submitted every 3 years, for continued participation.

The number of lifetime board certifications I saw had really dwindled by the time I retired.

10. Thanks for posting this, even if done before, because...

I don't read 24 hours worth of DU every day, and I'm sure I miss a lot. But I try to lead a life. I would go nuts if I didn't have other interests!! I so appreciate all of the postings and links that I read here; my main source of information is here, because it is very broad.

[A HERETIC I AM]

12. Thanks for saying so!

16. Oh snap!

You’re so right! I know how fast a good, informative, well researched and interesting post can sink on fast days. I come to DU for information that keeps me abreast of reality and I try not to spend too much time here when the situation is extremely stressful. If important stories or videos get posted more than once I’m more likely to see it.
