Beaten in Court Maryland
Board of Physicians hides their loss from the Public
Absent from this once
great newspaper, the Baltimore Sun, was the win by Doctor Mark Geier against
the Maryland Board of Physicians (Board) in the Circuit Court for Montgomery
County (case# 371761 civil division). In his Opinion Judge Ronald Rubin sliced
and diced the Board of Physicians for breach of medical privacy, for providing
an array of false testimony to the court, failing to preserve emails, providing
false witness concerning these emails and utilizing the Board’s legal machinery
to deprecate a physician in the public domain.
Judge Rubin stated in his
opinion: “If their (referring to the Board) testimony were to be believed,
which the court does not, it is the worst case of collective memory amnesia in
the history of Maryland government and on par with the collective memory
failure on display at the Watergate hearings.” Judge Rubin was not aware of the
Board’s history of corruption through suppressing evidence, utilizing legal
chicanery and cherry-picking regulations to remove unpopular physicians from
practice.
Baltimore Sun archives contain
a series of articles hostile to Doctor Mark Geier. Yet not one word of the Board’s
defeat in the Montgomery County Circuit Court. Beyond the archives this intrepid
reporter attempted to contact several editors at the Baltimore Sun for an
explanation why Judge Rubin’s opinion was not published on or about December
2017. Silence was the only answer I received. Perhaps this selective reporting
is business as usual between a State of Maryland administrative agency and a
newspaper that should have folded long ago.
Judge Rubin’s toxic
decision against the Board is now on appeal in the Maryland Court of Special
Appeals. Fourteen members of the Board, the Board’s lead attorney and its chief
investigator were ordered to pay a total of 2.5 million dollars to Dr. Geier
and his family. The current court, where this appeal is to be heard, is
well-known for falling on the sword for the Board of Physicians. Facts do not
matter to the Appeals’ judges only political loyalties and agendas. This court
is well known for legislating from the bench.
A majority of physicians in
Maryland are not aware of the Board’s irreverent behavior, as noted by Judge
Rubin. Baltimore Sun’s blackout of this case is both sad and expected for this
left ring rag. Worse none of the major radio stations covered this trial or Judge
Rubin’s final opinion. Therefore, it is a moral imperative to inform the public,
especially the physician community, the Maryland Board of Physicians is tainted
from the top down requiring inspection, realignment and reconstruction by those
empowered to do so. More to come.
