Wounded Healers NC
Welcome!
This site is dedicated to the dozens to hundreds of victims abused by and those who have died as a result of the actions of the “all-powerful, irresponsible” North Carolina Medical
Board (NCMB), and the North Carolina Physicians Health
Program (NCPHP) for impaired practitioners.
These organizations have
often subjected NCMB licensees to unwarranted discipline. Both
organizations as well as the North Carolina Medical Society (NCMS) have been
known to refuse to follow statutes, professional codes of ethics, to provide
due process or follow the legal avenues proscribed for them by
law. The FSMB or Federation of State Medical Boards has fostered
their behavior by incentivizing harsh discipline of physicians by state medical
boards.
This website is
dedicated to the North Carolina Medical Board Licensees who have been harmed by
the North Carolina Medical Board (NCMB), the North Carolina Physicians Health
Plan (NCPHP) and affected by the influence of the NCMS.
We also hope that the NC
State Officials responsible for the oversight of these agencies will finally no
longer hide this ongoing pattern of criminal
behavior.
After learning of the
Board’s intention’s regarding punishment; feelings of anger, shock, denial,
disbelief and extreme anxiety are all common; we’ve been
there! Blind acceptance may follow; a resignation of David fighting
a Goliath with limitless power. A review of the past decade of
disciplinary actions by the Board, as summarized on this website including
deaths, reveals a pattern of
actions that range from negligible to extremely harsh. Research has
not disclosed that anybody has adequately taken them to task for their illegal
actions.
The Center for Physicians Rights was established to provide a resource for
physicians in the US who have been attacked by State Medical Boards &
Physician’s Health programs.
Hopefully, the
appropriate legislation can be changed to reflect what is currently
needed. The Board is functioning under laws written in the
1800’s! If you wish to correspond directly, you are encouraged to do

-Is the NCMB, NCMS &
NCPHP (the “Big 3”), collectively, a criminal organization? Are they
involved in criminal behaviors?
-What they do IS as
CRIMINAL as it is illegal, as this site will demonstrate.
-To answer these
questions, it’s necessary to review certain definitions so that we are all speaking the same
language.
The US
Constitution does not apply to
NCMB licensees!
-Violations of the our
basic Bill of Rights, the US Constitution and it's Amendments is commonplace!
-Our guarantees of Basic
Civil Rights are ignored.
-Constitutional
Amendments that are routinely violated include; 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 11, & 14
-Numerous other North Carolina
State & Federal
Statutes are also routinely violated.
Basic
HIPAA rights and protection afforded by the Americans
with Disabilities Act:
Mandates accommodation
for disabilities are ignored, the NCMB treats disabilities by discrimination.
-Historically,
governments try to hide behind this concept to exempt them from liability.
-Sovereign immunity does
not work with the actions of the “Big 3” for a variety of reasons.
-Most notably that their
abdication of responsibility transcends mere negligence, rising to that of
malice, tortious conduct as a pattern of doing business.
Involvement of
the NC State Auditor;
-Although there has been
some review of the NCPHP, the NCMB has never been audited.
-Numerous observers felt
that the review of the NCPHP was painted in a manner that minimized their
deficiencies.
-August
2014 the NCOSA published a financial audit of the licensing and professional boards in NC,
finding ALL of them were deficient in their reporting requirements for state
oversight as mandated by NC General Statutes.
-February 25
2015 the SCOTUS ruled against the NC Dental Board largely on the basis that there was
inadequate state supervision of the NC Dental Board. This level of state supervision is required
for a Board to function as a professional board. Without such supervision, the entity is a
“Board” in name only.
-By simple logic, this
implies that there are no legitimate professional boards in North Carolina
other than “in name only”.
A Review of
NCMB Actions for the past Decade was completed:
-The findings were
reprehensible!
-This was the action
leading to the creation of this site.
-The word “arbitrary”
does not begin to describe the manner in which
disciplinary actions are taken.
-When coupled with other
findings, such as specific “defense” attorneys being recommended to
investigated licensees by the NCMB staff, to the exorbitant fees charged
“up-front” lead to concerns that there was an ongoing quid pro quo arrangement
rising to the level of a RICO act among all of the parties involved.
The “Big
3”; Relationship between the NCMB, NCMS & NCPHP—Corruption, Negligence
& More:
-“You just can’t make this stuff up!”. It is so
unbelievable that few believe it happens until they’re subjected to it, then
find themselves in a nightmare with no way out.
-Practitioners whose
patients have died due to negligence get a “Letter of
Concern”. Other than that, the NCMB Legal Department is
responsible for more deaths than all of the
allegedly “impaired” providers who have been persecuted, practitioners who have
not harmed a single patient!
Victims of the “Big 3”;
-This is a list of those
who have been harmed.
-4 Groups were developed
based on the alleged (we say alleged because it’s hard to find a factual
“Consent Order” or other order in the entire group!) nature of their
wrongdoing; Boundary Issues, Boundary & Substance Abuse issues, Legal
Issues, Negligence Issues and Substance Abuse Issues.
Deaths due to the “Big 3”;
-Yes, as hard as it to
believe, people are dying at the hands of the “Big 3”, active suicide is the
easiest form to recognize, and there is also “passive suicide” in which one
stops taking life-saving medications while awaiting a lethal complication.
-This has been
documented among practitioners.
-It has happened, but is more difficult to document among their
patients.
Principals
include "Defense"
Attorneys, NCMB
Board Members, "Legal"
Department & the NCPHP:
-The “Cast of
Characters”, Perpetrators, can no longer hide.
There
are numerous avenues/inroads/legal specialties appropriate to dealing with the corruption
in the “Big 3”:-The
problem is huge, has injured so many people, has so many facets and entry
points that many law firms have felt inadequate to approach the opportunity.
-As with any large
problem, the opportunity and reward is also
potentially huge for any entity willing and able to address the many issues.
Legal
Precedents & Principles:
-There is a long history
of issues with the “Big 3”
-There have been
numerous rulings by a variety of US Courts that remove the myth of “Sovereign
Immunity” that state entities can allegedly hide behind.
-This is especially true
for torts.
North
Carolina Officials to be contacted:
-There is a lot that
needs to be done for every practitioner who has been violated.
-Each of these officials
have been notified of the problems with the “Big 3” at least once.
-Legally, this raises
their culpability from simple negligence to malicious behavior, a tortious process that is almost as severe as the
criminal—not merely illegal actions of the “Big 3”.
Other groups are forming to
provide moral support and help address these issues.
