> I have submitted one to the AG, TMBE, and others where a so

> called peer review was done. The doctor doing the peer review

> made the mistake of making a diagnosis, which places him

> square against the clause of " The practice of medicine upon any

> resident of this state will be done only by a physician duly

> licensed in this state " . He was not, he was licensed in another

> state, and that license was a military permit. I also searched

> some items in USC 10 and found it very interesting. There

> was a very big violation there. The doctor, although he

> diagnosed, did not state that any further treatment was

> " Medically Unnecessary " . He stated the object of concern

> should have responded to the treatment criteria administered. He

> suggested possible mental conditions, unqualified assessment

> due to his not being a psychiatrist, but did not specify this was

> the direct cause. The denial of future Medical care as Medically

> Unnecessary was done by a " Secretary " whose only medical

> experience is the job she is doing now. " This is Criminal

> Practice of Medicine without a license " and has been so reported

> to the State AG and the county in which the act was committed.

> The supervising Doctor of the firm which did the peer review is

> also a professor of Medicine at the same University Health

> System, only in a different city, that the claim was against. The

> Workers' Compensation laws state this cannot be done. The

> Attorney representing this company, apparently the wife of

> the Medical Director, is aware the practices they are doing is

> illegal and unlawful. This put her crosswise to the Disciplinary

> Code. Papers were also filed with the bar association. The third

> party administrator handling the case has an office next door to

> the Medical Company. There are separate doors, but inside

> there are no partitions. How easy is it for them to go to the

> secretary reading the report and telling them exactly what they

> want written or even to the doctor who, I assume from fairly

> reliable sources, comes to the office to make his assessment.

> This thing stunk to high heaven. I only hope the person to whom

> the deed was done will be grateful for all efforts made in her

> behalf, it has been a very expensive undertaking.

> So, we will find out what the response of all the agencies will

> be. Hopefully soon.
