These atrocities have to be brought into the light. Can’t someone with political savvy bring this to the attention of state and/or federal representatives? Can we petition the ama or nma to act as an ombudsman? Studying and commenting about the problem needs to advance to political action

This is very disturbing and although I'm not a licensed professional, I have some insight into and experience with this AA-related racket through dealing with professionally licensed individuals. I agree with you and Michael that it will be impossible for any dissenter to get due process when it works "how it works" in this captured situation.

I no longer believe in the government of the United States after my experience with the Oregon Medical Board. What I know now is that the United States is becoming very similar to operating like Soviet Bloc countries. Beware of those who want to rule over you, especially those who base their authority upon power and not reason.

Please take a look at our documentary about pain refugees:

They are refugees because doctors are terrified.

This is sober reading indeed and it is horrendous that doctors are having to suffer such injustice in this way.

Thank you for writing this article as painful as it was for me to read it. I have been trying to forget about my professional "lynching" by the Pennsylvania Medical Board in 1994. As a Black man I felt like an innocent victim of mob terrorists acting upon unsubstantiated allegations similar to what my ancestors endured in this country for frivolous or nonexistent crimes. I repeatedly tell myself that medicine is what I did for a living and NOT all that I am then try to be grateful for having the experience o working as a physician for 9 years. All in life is not fair . . . . . but this wounds continues to fester.
