From Medical Doctor
To Surviving Out Of A Van
(By Ron
Branson)
As I read the below
testimony, I was struck by the fact that just the day before yesterday,
Thursday, I was told the amazingly similar testimony in the office
of my medical doctor. This next Thursday my medical
doctor is required to fly across the country to face an
out-of-state "disciplinary board."
Now I have known this
principled doctor for many years, who is also a nationally known reputable
doctor among many reputable doctors throughout the country. He is so
highly interested in my effort of judicial accountability
that he says, "Ron, you are too valuable of a man to lose," and so he
gives me constant check-ups on his own time, and even treats me to lunch
afterwards. He is a great man.
What he shared with me
was an expectation that matches the testimony of the medical doctor
below, who is a Washington State JAILer, once a medical doctor, now living out
of a van. What moved him to speak out on this was our recent 2/15/06 publication
of a J.A.I.L. News Journal entitled "Civil Justice System Receives a
Failing Grade," and he wishes to contrast the "disciplinary" procedures of a Bar
Association member with that of a medical doctor.

I wanted to compare the attorney discipline procedure vs. how
doctors are "disciplined." I am speaking from experience because I am a
doctor.
When I became a target of the California Medical Board, I was
first confronted by a 6 foot 4 gun toting "investigator, who barged into my
office in California in December, 1999. He said I was "under investigation."
When I asked him why, he didn't really know. He then made reference to a "phone
call" that came from Vermont. He wouldn't tell me what the person said. He said
it was "confidential."
The "phone call" came from 109 State Street, Montpelier, VT.
"Coincidentally" this was the same building where a man worked who I had sued.
The man was a judge. At the time the phone call was placed to California, my
lawsuit against the judge was before the US Supreme Court.
When I had my "trial" before the "California Medical Board," I
was the only doctor in the room. My opponents were the Deputy DA and this 6 foot
4 thug he sent to my office. There was not one single member of the "medical
board" actually present. The guy who made the call was not there.
One witness was called against me; the 6 foot 4 gun toting
"investigator." He admitted under oath that his only knowledge of me came from
this phone call from Vermont. In other words, his testimony was pure hearsay. I
had no witness to confront. I was assumed guilty, and told to prove myself
innocent.
Once, when I asked the investigator "what am I charged with,"
he replied, "it's murky."
The prosecutors case lasted about 15 minutes. One hearsay
witness was called, and he worked for the prosecutor. No evidence was
presented.
The ALJ told me it was up to me to prove myself innocent. I
told him he was wrong, but no one listened to me.
I was told the only way I could prove my innocence was to take
a "test." The "test" was set up to have a 100% failure rate. I refused to take
the "test." They said that I "failed to comply with a board order." I didn't
"fail" to comply. I refused. I'm not going to take a "test" with a 100% failure
rate. I refused to have my privacy invaded since I once read I had a right to
privacy. They said I had no rights.
At age 44, I was stripped of my medical license and rendered
unemployed. My medical education was rendered worthless after a 15 minute
"trial." I have now been unemployed for over 5 years. Now I am blacklisted in a
federal "Data bank." Because of this, I cannot get a job. I will be unemployed
the remainder of my life.
I was given no "judicial review."
When I appealed to the federal courts, my complaints were all
dismissed without a hearing. The decisions were highly complex consisting of one
word: "denied."
This is how doctors are "disciplined."
When a lawyer is "disciplined" he is afforded a lawyer. He
also gets to appear before lawyers. There is a 1% chance of
disbarment.
Doctor's are not afforded a lawyer and do not appear before
doctors. They appear before a prosecutor and an ALJ. Due process is
non-existent. You don't even get to confront your accuser. Hearsay is treated as
fact. You are guilty until proven innocent. You have no rights whatsoever. 100%
of doctors subjected to "the test" fail. (No lawyers or judges are subjected to
such a "test"). The doctors subjected to "the test" are all suspended. No
patient complaints are needed, as I had none. Malpractice is not a prerequisite
as I had none in 23 years. All that is needed to prosecute a doctor is a phone
call from out of state. Once you are "suspended" you are blacklisted in a
federal "Data bank." There is no "Data bank" for lawyers. If you apply for a
job, the "data bank" automatically sends out a little blurb with words like
"disciplinary action" and "suspension." Thus, there is no place in the world you
can go to work. You can't even volunteer in India or Mexico. No one wants
you.
Once stripped of your career, you become permanently
unemployed. Your wife divorces you. You are forced to drain your retirement.
Your credit is ruined. You are forced to sell your home, or else it is
foreclosed on. People don't want to talk to you. And you wake up every day
knowing you have nothing to do. Without a job, you cannot rent an apartment. You
are forced to live in a van, like me. ....
