Thankful to have enough control over my schedule that I can simply block off time for things like this. This poor doc going through the ringer because she needed a tiny bit of flex in her schedule but didn’t have a mechanism to get it, and the person from the tribunal acting like there was some impact on patient safety?! Unbelievable cruelty to punish her with a suspension for this.
A 5 month suspension for a single event. No wonder doctors are fleeing the NHS.
Yeah, the place is a massive shit hole
That’s what single payer healthcare does. You think burnout is bad now, just wait until the left gets what they want and you take a massive pay cut, work more, and get taxed significantly more.
Isn’t it the Right that gutted it to make it worse? Same as how in the US the Right eliminated ACA subsidies?
Leftoids and not accepting that their ideologies are abject failures. It’s like peanut butter and jelly.
Here is the deal bro: Do you think we as physicians are gonna get to keep our salaries, work-life balance, independence, and comparatively low taxes?
For everyone else to get “free” care, your ass is gonna get paid and get worked like a resident while taxed at a much higher rate.
Which ideaologies?
You shouldn’t be getting downvoted, this is the truth
This is Reddit. Left good, everything else bad. No thought or complex reasoning when it comes to politics.
That's my fear. Of all the systems in the US that are modeled most effectively to become the standard for single-payer, its Kaiser.
It's great at some things, but physician autonomy and wellness, isn't one of them.
I mean everyone loves to ignore that because it’s convenient. You think corporate/private equity medicine is bad, just wait until we all have the same boss (the government) and you are being taxed massively because everyone’s taxes will go up but especially yours because you are a “high earner”.
Shame you’re getting downvoted. As an ex UK doc this is 100% true - you even have a meta of sacrificing salary/pensioning extra money earnt above a certain amount because of how heavily you’re taxed on it.
Many salaried docs work 0.5FTE -0.8FTE just because 1.0 FTE is unsustainable and the pay rise gets gobbled up by tax. You get punished for hard work in the UK as a salaried GP/Family med attending. Your only options for good money is usually full time locum, clinic owner or leaving the UK.
There is a powerful "Progressive only narratives allowed" contingent on Reddit.
I used to foolishly think that the /FamilyMedicine group was more meritocratic. It's not - smart educated professionals cling to their preferred biases just as strongly as laypeople.
Eh. It’s a complex issue and not all single payer systems are created equal. The NHS has some issues unique to it and its failing should not be assumed to be the failings of single payer overall. There’s certainly drawbacks to single payer, just as there’s drawbacks to the US system. But you’ll just continue to think “Liberal policy bad” because that’s simpler and lets you continue to be selfish, entitled and judgmental.
If people on the left didn’t base their entire platform on arguing from a false sense of moral superiority while speaking to their detractors as if there are no legitimate criticisms, then they would have no platform at all
Nah man. I think what I think because you post here a lot and I have a wealth of experience already to draw on. You’re misrepresenting the issue and making it falsely simple in order to bolster your biased ideas. Anyone who disagrees with you gets dismissed with disrespect and superiority. Who’s the “idealist” now?
I’m not making it “falsely simple”, my entire argument is that it’s not feasible from a financial standpoint without overworking physicians and underpaying us while taxing us at a higher level than any of you should be comfortable with.
Like where the fuck do you think the extra manpower to meet the demand is coming from? Us. Do you know how much bargaining power you get when everyone works for the government? Zero. You do what they say, work when they say and do the hours they want.
Next, do you think you’re keeping the same income and salary when there is no competition or incentive to negotiate? No. The government will set your pay. It won’t be minimum wage, but if you think you’re gonna be raking in 250-300k per year like you were before when you could negotiate wRVUs and bonuses then you’re wrong.
Finally, where do you think the money is going to come from to pay for this? Big daddy government gonna make it appear out of thin air when we have a $38 trillion in debt? Nope your ass is paying for it. And as a “high earner” you’re gonna be paying out of the ass.
Let’s do some math. Let’s say republicans get their fingers in the works and we all end up with some state mandated Medicaid plan (yay). The median cost per year for Medicaid is about $8,000. There are 340,000,000 us citizens based on the last census.
That puts the total YEARLY cost of “free” healthcare at a whopping 2.72 trillion dollars and the US spent a total of 7 trillion dollars in fiscal year 2025. So to give everyone the shittiest version of healthcare, Medicaid, it would require nearly 40% of the entire budget.
Thats not only unreasonable it do this, it’s fiscally irresponsible and would put arguably and unethical amount of power over American health in the hands of the federal government (but I’m not getting into that portion here).
I harbor no illusions that I’m going to change your mind here but for the sake of the discussion and for other people who may read this: I still think you’re oversimplifying and not really accounting for multiple variables and the different ways that single payer can work.
As an example you use the number of 8000 per person for current Medicaid spending and come up with a number of 2.7 trillion a year. Given that the US currently spends over 4 trillion a year on healthcare all in that honestly still sounds like a bargain. However that number also ignores the fact that most current Medicaid users are heavy utilizers and that the per capita number would almost certainly be brought down through collective bargaining, eliminating middlemen and insuring a broader population.
The average spending in the EU is almost half that in the high 4000s per year. Using that number the US could insure everyone for about 1.6 trillion which is not that different from what the federal government currently spends per year on healthcare. (I’d also say I’d happily take my state’s Medicaid over my current bullshit high deductible plan that my employer and I spend 10-20,000 a year on so I’ll have to disagree that Medicaid is the worst health insurance).
I agree that physician income would likely come down but it would still be a very comfortable living and other costs associated with medical practice (most notably tuition and cost of entry but also malpractice etc…) are often lower in single payer systems.
I also think that focusing on attaining a lower tax rate for the most well off is a poor way to enact government policy and social support. I also think most conservatives underestimate the cost to them of attaining certain services in the private sector and vastly over estimate the tax rates needed to achieve a better social safety net. I have friends who work in NZ. They pay nearly the same tax rate that I do at around 30%. They have “free” healthcare and a better social safety net. It's obvious that no healthcare is “free”. There is always a cost but there is a more economical and just way to manage the cost that what the US currently does.
The argument that it's unethical for the federal government to have too much control of healthcare is always mindboggling to me. The federal government already exerts a huge amount of control. No hospital could survive without federal dollars. FQHCs have limits and requirements on what they can do due to receiving federal grants. Insurance companies pay lobbyists a fuckton of money to ensure the federal government does what they want because of how much control the government has in the healthcare sector. What more are you worried about?
It’s also worth noting that many single payer systems use private entities to manage the health system. Single payer does not mean single controller (as I understand it one of the issues with the NHS is that it’s directly administered by the government). I trained in Israel where private entities manage the health delivery and the government provides the funding. It’s not that different from working for a large entity in the US and there is still plenty of flexibility for GPs within reason.
Nearly every health system in the world is buckling right now due to inflation, the cost of COVID and the increasing complexity of care and aging population. The US is buckling too. The failings are not exclusive to single payer and there is no perfect health system. However, there could be a more equitable and quite likely more economical one than what the US currently has.
Sounds awful. Go start your own practice and just refuse to see Medicare/Medicaid since it's so bad.
Good luck.
That’s nice, but you’re a layperson, so your opinion on how socialized medicine affects physicians means less than nothing. Have a good new year!
If you're so concerned about people staying in their lanes, then stay in yours and leave the business, economics, and politics to the people qualified to speak on it.
You know. Like the people who earned 'Doctor' by contributing something to their fields of political science, economics, & business?
And to think you're a DO that uses reddit flair as your test of credibility.
Yikes.
Again, youre not qualified to comment on this. Have a wonderful new year!
"...who is a tax payer and a voter...political changes in his career field affects him."
So your litmus test is taxpaying voter affected by policy. There we go! See? You already set a standard that just expanded to validating the opinions of the billers & coders, RNs, MAs, & CNAs just to name a few.
I'm glad you're still open to understand new things.
This is absolutely accurate regarding single payer healthcare. I encourage those downvoting you to do some research, speak to colleagues in these countries, and truly consider how this type of system would completely hose doctors. There is a reason many doctors are going private in these communities.
They think it will stay the same and everyone gets free stuff. They don’t realize the extra labor and money has to come from somewhere, which is us as both the sole providers of healthcare and high earners usually in the top tax brackets.
In addition, believe it or not, quality of care will absolutely tank.
P.S. - if you omitted "the left", there's nothing objectively wrong with your comment. It's almost universally agreed that in a single payer model, physician pay will go down (likely 30-50%).
So either there are 70+ (and counting) reeeeallllyyy sensitive leftists here, or people are delusional. As this is mostly a physician forum, I'm less prone to questioning their sanity, than their ego.
Edit:
167 reeeaaaallyyy pissy leftists and counting. This is getting fun. Let's see if we can go viral.
I don’t think single payer will ever happen in the US so it’s likely a moot point, but a 30-50% drop in salary sounds absolutely insane. You honestly think there would be some physicians whose pay would be cut in HALF? Come on.
No one truly knows how compensation in the US would actually change, so throwing out percentages that high just sounds like fear mongering to me. You can’t just look at countries like Canada and say “that’s what US salaries will be if we go single payer.” It’s a lot more complex than that.
Ok, you think pay will remain the same? Like, in what scenario does working for the government not involve a pay cut?
The entire point of single payer, is the government having a massive negotiating hammer to bludgeon vendors with, whether it be pharmaceuticals, DME manufacturers, or "labor" (which is what we would be).
As Medicare reimbursements relative to inflation have steadily decreased for the last 2 decades, I can only imagine that in a government run single payer, reimbursements (or capitation, or whatever payment structure they devise) will be less than the current payment structure. It would be irrationally optimistic to expect otherwise.
Look, this is the same government that has already allowed NP's and PA's similar treatment privileges to physicians, rather than train or pay physicians enough to have enough physicians.
As in all things, there is not a physician shortage - there is only a shortage of physicians (and people capable of being physicians) willing to work for the current wages.
Why would you trust that government to not pay you less if they could? Generosity?
I don’t know if it would be the same. Probably not. The point is we don’t know because you’re assuming things about legislation and a system that doesn’t exist. But accepting that there probably would be a small to modest decrease in compensation is wildly different than the outrageous claim that it would be 30-50%. That’s straight fear mongering.
Physician income under the NHS has decreased by 25% since to the late 2000's, adjusted for inflation.
It's fair to assume that ours would be in the same general ballpark (considering we're amongst the highest paid in the world).
I used to work at an OB GYN fqhc and they fired a nurse for doing this. We were constantly running an hour or more after the clinic was supposed to close and admin wasn’t listening, and of course they left on time.
They always do.
I’ve done that but with fake EMR patients that Epic has and then cancel it soon after. It’s easier to do it myself than email to block off time short periods for meetings
Id never do that under a real patients chart though . That’s kinda nuts
Tommy Test always with that 3pm appointment!
I happen to be Mickey Mouse’s private physician
Do you people really have such little control over your schedules that you can’t say “no appointments after 4:30”?
Not in corporate medicine, especially with some health systems who have now implemented ways for patients to schedule appointments online same day. Even with zoc doc...
I do this only for impromptu meetings and it’s just easier for me to add a 30 min “appt” to a random day
My clinic day ends at 4
Salaried? Yes.
Would you hire an employee, then model your business around their variable "availability"?
They won’t give me access to make changes to my schedule, but I also don’t ask for time off, I tell them when I won’t be there….so it works out
You'd hire an employee who would tell you what hours you can run your business?
Or just replace them with someone who'll be there during your business's hours?
First problem is you think medicine is a business, it’s not and it never should have been
Well, if you expect to get paid, it's not a charity. So what is it?
Fine, you win, you go do every thing your cooperate overlords demand! I have been wrong this whole time…
I feel like we're talking past each other.
If a physician doesn't like the terms of their employer, they can try to negotiate.
If their employer isn't willing to, they have to make a decision - accept the terms, or walk.
This isn't just theoretical - I walked away from a well paid position with amazing benefits, but a completely inflexible employer. I tried to negotiate, but they had no flexibility. So I cast a net, found a better position, and left on good terms, and with no regrets.
As it happened, I was working with residents, and starting a procedure clinic in the practice. I was finishing the protocols until the day I left. I'm still on good terms with my former boss and all my work colleagues.
That employer has since lost 15% of their physicians, and now word has gotten out about their inflexibility.
Not only are they struggling to hire, and spending millions in recruiting costs, but have since made a hard turn on their policies and flexibility.
What's done is done - they learned a valuable lesson about the rapidly evolving physician market, and I have a much better job with a wonderful boss, and far greater flexibility and hours.
My former boss? Two promotions since. The organization is still very profitable, despite the COVID chaos. Colleagues who swore they'd never leave, have left for better pastures.
Through the process, I found that getting emotional was of no value. Know your value, and stick to it. You're smarter than any C-Suit, and as a physician, will always land on your feet. In the end, it's just business
No.
In residency I’d always be sure to offer homeless drug addicts who I was seeing for overnight consults because they crashed into the ER with a seizure appointments in my continuity clinic. Super high no-show rate, but at least they should have shown up.
At first I read this as you being Mother Teresa, but then on second read, I realize it’s diabolical 💀
Wait until you look up the shady shit mother Theresa actually did…

I would love to be her friend---I would buy her the biggest glass of wine or mimosa and laugh my ass off WITH her.
I dont think she is laughing. This is a severe way out of the line punishment which in my eyes is abuse of power. This probably will lead to some form of mental and financial damage to her. Obviously she should not have done it but just a warning or good conversation (and healthy work hours), would have sufficed
And they wonder why people are leaving the profession. We are all human and need to also maintain lives outside of our practice. The patients and practice don’t own us, and we should be given some flexibility or grace within the system. The admin know that this is an issue for practitioners with young families, and need to create a schedule that accommodates those issues( early appointments, work through lunch, etc). She’s a person and even though this is in a system of universal care, there can still be flexibility.
*edit to change work to need
I do EMGs in the afternoons. I ask that they put young people in my last slot of the day. They don’t show up.
I had a colleague who did this to get admin time; he would book the appointments and then mark them as no shows the next day. He didn’t get suspended, just talked to by the non medical president of the office.
Yeah, I think it’s a little different in the US where you’re doing this to an employer not defrauding the public of a good they paid for.
I don't understand, how was she defrauding the public? It doesn't say they were charging for the visits. Basically it sounds like she was putting filler apt's in at the end of the day that were then marked as noshows. It was essentially a "block" in her schedule that should have been done with an "administrative block" but was done so with an actual apt slot. Yeah, it should have been done in another manner, but basically a clerical error resulting in a 5 month suspension seems extreme.
She put in notes into real people’s medical records for appointments that didn’t happen, which got her into more trouble than if she had just blocked the appointments.
Yes. But that is neither a patient safety issue nor billing fraud.
I can’t enter a note for a scheduled appointment without including a billing code, even if it’s a code that means: “don’t bill, encounter opened in error.” I don’t know how billing works in the UK, but in the US, the encounter would be billed and there would be fraud. Also, medical records are legal documents. You’re not supposed to make them up.
There is no indication that the doctor billed anything or even implied a service was provided. It was marked as a "no show visit" simply to block the schedule so no other patient would be scheduled in the slot and she could leave early to pick up her kid. No service was provided nor was it implied that it was. We have scheduling mistakes in our office every day. We don't bill for them. I really don't get what the big issue here was other than it should have been a discussion with the practice manager "hey, don't put erroneous visits in the scheduling software, if you need to leave early, please let us know so we can block it out appropriately." And that should have been the end of it. Instead, she got a 5 month suspension.
In all honesty, if something like this happened to me and they brought up actual punitive measures, I would tell them to put their complaint in writing and print it on toilet paper so I can wipe my ass with it. I would then go back to my desk, write up my resignation letter.
Did you read the article? Because she says that she wrote notes for the appointments that didn’t happen. And then the people who suspended her said that factored into her suspension. It was a really stupid thing to do and she should have just said she needed to leave an hour early two times, but that’s not what she did.
Perhaps I misunderstood, I thought she did a telephone visit, then booked the same pt for at the end of the day which was then of course a noshow so she left?
Regardless, super dumb on her part, but I still think a 5 month suspension when there was zero risk to patient safety is extreme.
I am assuming she works for the NHS which means she is providing a government service paid for by the people. So if she is falsely limiting her appointments, she is denying the people a service they paid for.
Edit: Not an endorsement of the reprimand. Just giving the context that this is in the UK where the NHS is a public service funded by taxpayers which makes the doctors more like public servants, as opposed to how we are mostly private employees.
So you get sick or there is an emergency and you have to leave early you get a suspension. Again, whether she said "I'm going home early today block out the last slot" or she put a visit in that she knows was never going to happen is basically a clerical issue with the wrong "visit type" in an EMR. If she "made up the visit with false documentation that services were provided," sure that is a problem. But what drop down menu selection is in some scheduling software when no actual service was performed either way, what different does it make?
It seems like she got a 5 month suspension because the improper selection was made on some scheduling software. There was no patient safety issue here because there was no patient seen in that slot either way.
Like I said, I'm not endorsing the reaction. I'm just pointing out how the response to an NHS worker providing a public service funded by taxpayers might be a little different than a US equivalent.
But no service was provided nor was it documented that it was.
But it was denied by the doctor messing with her schedule. We are looking at it through the lens of the profession but I think a better analogy would be if it was discovered some public servant whose job it was to meet with people and sign them up for an important public service started blocking their schedule for personal time.
Let's presume all that is the case. This happened with two appointment slots. So lets say an hour of work time total. So you think an appropriate response would be a 5 month suspension? Or perhaps just a stern talk about appropriate booking and ask her to make up the extra hour of work and not do it again.
I agree it was handled poorly by the doctor. It should have been a simple "block out my schedule today because I have to leave early." Instead she turned something simple into something big. But the punitive response for two visit slots seems disproporitionate. Frankly, I'm surprised she didn't resign that very minute and go somewhere else.
As I said before, buddy, I am not saying I agree with it.
2 appointments would be 20 minutes as in the NHS our GP appointments are scheduled as 10-15 minutes long.
It sounds like she may have had an issue with admin staff booking slots that were not meant to be booked (ie that she wasn't paid for, after her last agred slot time) but the articles I've seen have not been clear.
I've certainly had admin staff make scheduling mistakes so I can believe it as an explanation, though I wouldn't excuse lying.
Unfortunately in GP we are often given less than the recommended admin time by practices, and some practices tolerate patients turning up way too late, which also often means clinics can run very late by the end of the day.
You’ve just made yourself an indentured servant.
More like a public servant. Again, I’m not saying I agree with it, I’m just expressing what I believe is the different context.
Ha I have done the same.
How was your 5 month suspension?
Well, not that part
5 month suspension? Their system is abysmal. I applied for my UK license to have more flexibility if I chose to complete a locum. After months of hard work, they immediately refunded my 3k+ pound ! Application fee, stating my application was not long enough ( it was a 100 pages and they expected 800+). I am dual board certified and could not believe it. They didn't even want to look at my application. I completed the application also because I have citizenship.
Their health care system can kick rocks. No wonder their physicians are abandoning the UK.
Wait till you hear FM Residents who become attendings will often have to apply to 3 (GMC, RCGP, Performers list) bodies just to get signed off that they are now attendings. I wish I was kidding.
I read the story, she didn’t only book spots, she went int and wrote notes for the patients as if she had seen them. That different then booking an appt and then they “no show.” She falsified records. It’s a shame that she was so stressed that she resorted to doing this tho.
Oh…damn. That is ballsy. And fraudulent. It’s sad she had to resort to this. We have to do better.
I don’t think you’re right about that. From what I read it appears she saw these patients both earlier in the day, and then booked each of them again later in the day. The supervisor caught it because one of the charts was unfinished, but she did not chart on anyone that she didn’t see, from what I can tell…
Nope she made a false entry about seeing a pt she hadn't and then also charting a physical exam that never happened . It's not as simple as the headline and this sub is making it out to be.Also all transcripts of GMC hearings are publicly available this is hers:
https://www.mpts-uk.org/-/media/mpts-rod-files/dr-helen-eisenhauer--09-dec-25.pdf?__cf_chl_tk=atciINmbQp96Ry7g1bneSVQqRhGg1HjnLqTI8sWilOI-1767206375-1.0.1.1-iGWnEZS50vLgDWO5I90q8aKfaNKszOUz2lUtvNCuGSo
That’s unbelievable, f the system.
Used to work for a practice that consistently overbooked us and provided no admin time for catching up. I stayed late nearly every night to finish charts (this was pre-EMR) sacrificing time with my young children. The owner was unwilling to compromise, so on days we fell way behind, I’d schedule one of our chronic no-shows. The patient of course wouldn’t show up for their imaginary appointment, and I’d have a few minutes to catch up. Don‘t regret the decision.
Ridiculous this physician is being crucified for the poor management decisions of her administrators - I bet they always go home on time, while expecting her to stay late and sacrifice. To hell with that.
I was expecting to read that she did this on a regular basis, not two times over a year ago. If all is accurate and complete, this is ridiculous
This being said, I'd hazard a guess that there's more to the story than just these incidents. My guess is there have been many more problems, and this is what they could get her on. Kind of like Al Capone getting nabbed for tax evasion.
Yeah I felt "People" magazine wouldn't give this situation the treatment that it deserved.
I’m so glad I don’t have to practice in the UK. Screw that…
Nice of her jerkwad coworker to turn her in. Probably a man who has never had the responsibility of picking the kids up from daycare before it closes.
Systems like the NHS breed narcs. I’m friends with several NHS medics and, respectfully, they are such goody two shoes. It must be something in the water 😆
(Just kidding it’s because you get fired over things that Americans do daily and consider to be normal and the NHS doesn’t celebrate or even tolerate cowboy/deviant behavior in any form.)
It can also be disgruntled nurses/reception staff/anyone.
My organization does not allow providers to schedule appointments because someone at the organization purportedly did this in the past. The lack of autonomy over my schedule drives me absolutely bonkers.
US based here, so can't comment on NHS details
I have multiple fake patients set up in our EHR for just this purpose.
The issue isn’t the booking fake appointments. The issue is that she used real patients, and entered actual notes for these patients.
Is that really the case? That’s not how I read it. She actually conducted those appts via telemed earlier in the day but booked as placeholder appts at the end of the day.
The only fraudulent part was the scheduling, no fraudulent charting or billing per my read.
“She went on to book two face-to-face appointments for the end of her shift, even though she'd already consulted with both patients earlier that day.
Two days later, a fellow partner at her practice noticed there were no notes from one of the appointments.
"I recall feeling embarrassed and worried about what my colleagues would think of me having made the booking," Eisenhauer said at the hearing, going on to share that she did go on to add in the notes, even though the consultation never happened.”
It's not too clear, is it? I thought she created duplicate notes for the same patients
This happens alll the time
There’s a huge impact to patient care.
She’s not seeing patients anymore lol. I hope it’s not their gran that can’t get in for another two months now.
Yeah, they're so worried about patient care. She blocks out two patient slots so they block out 5 months of patient slots for punishment!
We do this all the fucking time because sometimes it's the only power we have left. NHS should be ashamed.
Such is life in the NHS.
I do this all the time and at least once a week
Why is this even a story to write about? I feel like there are a lot more important things to notify the public about. Silly.
And by People magazine!
I’m curious to know why she wasn’t allowed to just take the time off? Why risk wage theft and falsifying documents? If anyone did this in the US you can add insurance fraud to that too, no?
That being said, the fact that she felt the need to do this in order to get the time off is completely effed, through no fault of her own it would seem so far.
What? How would this be insurance fraud in the US? An appointment can be booked then marked as cancelled or a no show. Therefore you wouldn’t submit any billing codes for the visit and insurance wouldn’t pay anything. If you created encounters and billed for patients you never saw, definite fraud but that’s egregious. I guess you can make an argument for wage theft if the doc is salaried, but it doesn’t hold up for the common productivity models we use here. Insane to me that she’s being penalized for such a one off occurrence.
The article says initially she just scheduled duplicate appointments. But then when a fellow doctor asked her about the visits without documentation, she created fake visit notes. That is falsifying records. Idk if those visit notes included any billing. But if so, then it’s fraud. In the US, if a visit was completed and had notes, admin would hound the provider to input charges. Would she have to have maintained the initial deception?
This is a bit more complex than the simple title of the article suggests.
Damn you’re right. I must’ve skimmed over the part about adding in notes. The fake appointments would be one thing and just a sign of her organization not creating an environment where people could ask for schedule accommodations. But to falsify records is actually a serious thing. Idk what billing looks like there, but certainly if there was a note put in in the US, you’d bill for a visit. Then we’re really in sticky territory.
It would be insurance fraud in the US because she said that she did put in notes for the appointments.
Ah, gotcha. Didn’t think about the billing part.
I agree, a suspension is insane.
Not fraud because no service was billed for. Physicians of all people should be able to control their schedule.
This employer is a CONTRACTOR for a NHS trust. They have to make reports to the trust. Not sure how this really could change their payout but it seems like the reports could have been falsified.
If this is an MD - there is absolutely no reason she shouldn't throw a huge middle finger to everyone and bail. She's more valuable than anyone involved in a "suspension" 😂
Four letters: FMLA (if in US).
That’s terrible.
They called it a massive patient safety issue....when it didn't affect patients at all....and then suspended her for half a year....which affects patients severely....
Morons.
This is why I own my own practice. This is utter bollocks.
Sorry, there's no way around it — cheating is still cheating, plain and simple.
She’s my hero.
She was probably hoping to be suspended and it worked out!
