Governor John Kasich, State Representative Richard Hollington, and State Senator Grendell are allowing that routine thyroid function tests not be done on even women MD-patients with symptoms before their medical licenses are taken for objecting in Ohio. Making too much of bad care is a disciplinary problem for women MDs at the Ohio State Medical Board, no mention of the fact that Ohio 'bad care' should not be happening.
Women MDs don't need blood work is the mantra in Ohio at the State Medical Board under Richard Whitehouse Esq, and his predecessor Tom Dilling Esq - both totally misinformed and clueless about the medical health issues of women, teens and young girls. The fallout being that for Ohio teens, and young women, chronic thyroiditis going to thyroid cancer can seriously affect lives.
The local Cleveland area is especially 'bad' for this missed diagnosis on routine physicals & with women professional's care; if you work, or start college, 'new' tiredness is never taken seriously. This is probably increasing the incidence of thyroid cancer in Ohio, but who cares - mostly women will be the ones getting the thyroidectomy - spending Christmas break, or holidays, in a local hospital OR.
The lack of the 'right' thyroid testing, or screening blood work, is affecting even teens in the NE Ohio area who are showing up with thyroid cancers in the setting of chronic untreated thyroiditis - Hashimoto's that no one has to check labs on until thyroid nodules develop at age 18. Chronic tiredness is just sent to the college counseling centers, as women MDs are triaged multiple times to new right Ohio psychiatrists with Senator Grendell laughing at the joke; how the Ohio State Medical Board one-upped a woman MD at a cost of >$500,000 to the taxpayers of Ohio - a woman who needed only thyroid function testing and some synthroid. This is called the male-overdoing-it syndrome; a Pyrrhic victory.
Hashimoto's thyroiditis is the most common inflammation of the thyroid gland, and extremely common in Ohio epidemiologically; we need to study this instead of HIV. 90+% of thyroid problems occur in women, so the male MDs are particularly nonchalant about this diagnosis & disease. You have to have multiple fractures, thyroid nodules, and the lab work from out-of-state before any Ohio male MD will write for synthroid treatment.
The Ohio State Medical Board allows physicians that 'miss' the diagnosis to counter-complain 'confidentially' about the women MDs who have untreated thyroid problems, or object to the lack of labs & treatment. These women MDs are just left untreated after their medical license is suspended; disciplined for being better clinicians than the male MDs, or the Board Members - then they won't get on the State Medical Board or ever be competitive again. And women can continue to get thyroid cancer - good for surgical business.
You can't do your own blood work in Ohio as a woman MD, and the guys don't know the labs to order. The male MD liabilities are assumed by the State Medical Board of Ohio; until the statute of limitations expires, the woman MD will not get her license reinstated, and she will have to beg.
The problem in all this he-she MD colleague war, is that about 18% of thyroid cancers are associated with chronic untreated Hashimoto's, and there is a long-known association with thyroid lymphoma. So you shouldn't be able to just take the medical license of the women physician complaining of symptoms of thyroiditis, and the bone effects, without doing the blood work - but that is supposedly the interpretation of the law in Ohio, and continued under Governor Kasich. Women MDs don't 'deserve' care in Ohio; you can leave them untreated - getting rid of the competition again.
It's an impairment for a women physician to object to 'boys being boys' medical/orthopedic care in Ohio; care which does not include lab work as they don't know the tests to order - not an impairment to work uncomplainingly with untreated thyroiditis.
The tests to order are all over the web, but doing a google search is beyond Mr. Whitehouse's paygrade or Governor Kasich's intelligence quotient: Thyroid peroxidase antibody (TPOAb), Thyroglobulin antibody (TgAb), Thyroid stimulating hormone receptor antibody (TRAb), and Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH). Certainly a single T4, not mentioned above, is not enough to call a woman physician unlucky, or crazy, and take her medical license for objecting to 'boys being boys' care - not having aequanimitas for the stupid mistakes of male MDs.
Oslerian aequanimitas was never meant to include not saying anything about a medical mistake that could be corrected; you are not supposed to just calmly accept the medical mistakes of colleagues that you can do something about. MDs are licensed to do care, to question, to do the differential diagnosis, and to get the patient the correct treatment - even if that means undoing a wrong diagnosis and making a guy colleague - or Governor - learn something.
Women, and their teen daughters, with symptoms suggestive of thyroid problems in Ohio should insist on the 'right' labs being done, not the 'right' psychiatrist or college counseling. Governor Kasich, and the local Cleveland legislators, need to allow women physicians care-to-function before taking medical licenses for having to disagree with the boys - care which has to include complete blood work and thyroid function testing.
No physician should be working with untreated thyroid disease, or should not be allowed the labs before her medical license is taken for continuing to object that 'something else' is wrong. No college student complaining of thyroid symptoms should be left untested because of the seriousness of the thyroid cancer problem in the setting of untreated thyroiditis.

We have missed our daily dose of Ohio diatribes for the past few days. What happened ? Did you take that trip to Phenix City ? Did you see Chucklehead the Deceitful ?? Anyway, it's good to see that things are back to normal in Cleveland. Keep up the good work ( and I hope you know satire when you read it ).

You're not an MD anymore so quit using that as your ID. Your license to practice was suspended indefinitely almost 20 years ago because you REFUSED to submit to a Board ordered psychological evaluation. The evaluation was ordered because of your increasingly BIZARRE behavior. Of note was your outburst in another doctor's office where you were witnessed to repeatedly bang your wrists on a table in what appeared to be an attempt by you to re-fracture your wrists.
The entire case file is available on line from the official Ohio governmental website: http://med.ohio.gov/formala/35050161.pdf
The Ohio Medical Board License website also lists the actions taken to prevent you from practicing medicine. This can be found here: https://license.ohio.gov/Lookup/SearchDetail.asp?ContactIdnt=3038546&DivisionIdnt=78&Type=L
Every time you make one of these postings, I'm going to post the links to the Ohio governmental websites that will let readers know what REALLY happened and WHY.
Get some help Rita. You will most likely NEVER practice medicine again. Find something else to do with your life. Your internet rants are pointless and just make us lay folk believe that the Board's action was correct and appropriate.
Here is the contact list of actions taken to suspend your license indefinitely:
