The case of the fake sick notes continues to be shrouded in secrecy.
The doctors who wrote fake sick notes to government workers who were hoping to have their protest-related by absences deemed medically excused may face disciplinary actions from their employer, but the public may never know.
In February, the MacIver News Service broke the story, which soon became national news.
“I asked if they were handing out doctors’ excuses and a guy said yes and asked me if I needed one,” said one woman who wished to remain anonymous. “When I told them I needed one for February 16 and 17th, he wondered if I wanted to come back here for the protests next week.”
What happened next shocked her.
“I said, ‘sure,’ and I received a doctor’s note for the 16th through the 25th of February, without a medical exam.”
Heck, even BigGovernment’s Andrew Breitbart even got a fake sick note while he was in town.
Shortly after the incident, Dean Robert Golden of the UW School of Medicine and Public Health announced he’d empowered a a committee to investigate the matter and determine if work rules and/or professional ethics were violated.
On Tuesday Med School announced it had completed its review regarding University of Wisconsin physicians involved in the scam.
“The school will not comment on individual cases. (Our practice of not commenting publicly on specific disciplinary actions is consistent with state law governing the confidentiality of public-employee records in both the public-records law and section 230 of Wisconsin statutes. Hence, the names of those involved and the actions taken will not be disclosed.),” read an unsigned statement issued Tuesday by the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health.
