Is he also the chairman of surgeons against masks?

I thought he was dead. He just moved to FL, I guess.

Is he having trouble making ends meet? Maybe he needs to hook up with the Employee Assistance Program.

Screenshots of the posts obtained by a local CBS affiliate show that Warden implored parents in Leon County, Florida to reach out if they wanted a medical exemption for their child.

Medical fraud for sale…

He’s a “real doctor”? I bet there are real lawyers who would sue his a** if the fake letter he gives people leads to loss or death.

O/T St Charles is where the more upscale Republicans live, as opposed to Jefferson County where the working class Republicans live. But if you’re more than upscale then you live MO-2 which is West St. Louis County.

Funny how Jay didn’t mention which party these folks belong to. And we don’t have VBM here in MO. They made some special arrangements because of COVID.

It is my fervent hope that the boot remains embedded far up his anus.

I wonder if he has been unmasked to his Medical Malpractice (E&O) insurance carrier?

Doctors in private practice commonly charge fees for certain clerical functions arising from patients’ visits (like sick notes for employers). That’s entirely fair and ethical.

Soliciting patient visits for the purpose of providing documents for a fee is unethical in that the service is circumventing a therapeutic assessment and therefore not in keeping with a physician’s duty to care. That is both unethical and unprofessional.

You may as well call yourself Doctor Nick and be done with it.

It’s a shame that the medical profession does not have a concept analogous to simony.

So far that he can’t shit and explodes like Mr. Creosote.

If you start with simony then indulgences will be next. I’m going to go out on a limb and say you can make more money with indulgences.

Wish this was the worst thing I ever heard of a doctor doing but not even close - incredibly cheap, though, as far as medical scams go.

The Society for Creative Anachronism (the folks for whom a RenFaire is too modern, who like to wear tin cans and beat on each other with sticks) at St. Ambrose College in Davenport IA once sold indulgences as a club fundraiser.

St. Ambrose also functions as the seminary for the Diocese of Davenport; I’m not sure what the bishop thought about it, but it was apparently a very successful fundraiser. (Mortal sins cost more than venial sins, natch.)
