    “Foolish” doesn’t even come close to describing how the doctor looks. Words like “fraudulant”, “idiotic”, “incompetent”, and “criminal” come to mind. There is no way a reasonable person, let alone a doctor with specific training in anatomy and physiology, would look at that guy and not know that he works out.

    Now, all of that doctor’s recommendations are going to be questioned and re-evaluated. How unfortunate for those men/women who actually are injured! Lastbat – you’re right on target.

    As everyone as aptly pointed out, this clown is a fraud and an embarassment to medical professionals everywhere. He should be prosecuted for fraud and each of his prior “disability cases” re-opened and re-evaluated. The medical association should investigate him and consider revoking his license. Nobody has mentioned the “other” skunk in the woodpile of phoney disability claims…..the attorneys who represented them. And while we’re on the subject, was the BFD asleep when approving the other 21 cases the same doctor submitted?

    Maybe this doctor (and I use the term very losely here) was one that was recommended by the fire department or city.

    In any case, if the cases are reopened (and they should be) and a firefighter realy is disabled that should easily be determined by a qualified physician.

    Don’t worry, if Obomber get’s elected, his taxes will go so high, he’ll be forced to take a government healthcare job.

    Do you think it would be too much to ask, that before our cities decided to pay someone permanent disability that there is a requirement to have two doctor’s opinions? I know this would cost more in the short run, but think about the tax dollars that may be saved over many years.Oh that’s right that is common sense.

    Have you even reviewed the tax proposals for both candidates know that Obama will raise taxes for him? Or are you just mouthing off Republican talking points with no real background on the subject? Unless he makes over 250k a year his taxes will either stay the same or be reduced.

    um… the city was so determined to make sure that is was a temporary accident disablement that it went to permanent when in reality it was neither…

    truly, the city would rather have them work for a living and draw a retirement check based on work instead of a disability.

    as far as the doc? i don’t care about his medical student loan or any other payment. it’s like malpractice lawsuit happening because, he diagnosed folks incorrectly – or was it better terms — FRAUD! then whose at fault? both parties?
