Doctor fired after allegedly selling children mask exemption letters for $50 online
A doctor in Florida has been fired after it was discovered he was offering parents mask exemption letters for $50, according to reports.
Dr Brian Warden reportedly told parents to contact him on Facebook for a letter following the of the introduction of stricter mask rules in schools in Leon County. After the message was uncovered, he was relieved of his position, according to the Tallahassee Democrat.
“We act with absolute integrity in all that we do, and it is our expectation that providers behave in a way that is consistent with those values. Immediately upon learning of this physician's actions, we began the process of removing him from providing services to our hospital patients,” said Rachel Stiles, a spokesperson for Capital Regional Medical Center, where Dr Warden worked.
According to Ms Stiles, the move was confirmed at their board of trustees meeting by the facility’s CEO Alan Keese on 24 August.
One of the posts was shared on Twitter by Ron Filipkowski, who shared a screenshot with the caption, “Dr Brian Warden was just removed from his position at Capital Regional Medical Center in Tallahassee, FL for selling medical mask “opt-out” letters on social media for $50. This is one of his posts.”
Dr Warden’s alleged offer read, “PARENTS IN LEON COUNTY FLORIDA: Private message me if you need a medical exemption letter for your child” in the Facebook group Parents Against Masks.
