Unmasking of the Maryland
Board of Physicians
Maryland Board of
Physicians is managed by attorneys not physicians. This Board’s constituent
members, physicians, are incidental to the administrative efforts and processes
of this Board. Language descriptive to the type of people who partake in this
Board’s management would be inappropriate in this article. Needless to state
they are the bottom of the barrel. On or about 1992 the medical license of Mark
Davis MD was revoked. The circumstances of this revocation were based on
frivolous and illicit actions by this Board. An article is posted at: https://onandoffthehill.com/2017/05/04/corruption-entrenched-in-marylands-highest-legal-circles/
describing
their illicit actions along with supportive documents. Yes, Soviet style
justice is practiced at the highest levels in Maryland. Reading further one
will see how criminal they are.
After being viciously
debased in the media by former Maryland Attorney General J. Joseph Curran and
the Board of Physicians with claims of poor patient care, that never occurred,
Dr. Davis filed an unprecedented lawsuit. This case was filed on or about 1994 at
the Anne Arundel County Maryland Circuit Court. As the plaintiff in the case,
who represented himself, the court was uninterested in his legal filing and
dispensed with the case quickly, though each and every fact stated was
verifiable. All the defendants were given immunity and the case was dismissed.
The Anne Arundel case and its appeal to the Court Special Appeals (in full) are
both located at the link below this article to substantiate the factual nature
of Dr. Davis’ assertions.
In 1994 Case number 1819,
September Term was to be heard by a 3 judge panel in the Court of Special
Appeals. The Appellant, Mark Davis MD who brought this case, was approached in
the outer area of the courtroom by 2 members of the Maryland Attorney General’s
Office. The exchange of verbiage that occurred was both illuminating and
extremely outside normal legal processes. These 2 men prostituted themselves by
stating in the event Dr. Davis dropped this case, before it was heard by the Court,
the Maryland Attorney General’s Office would enable him to have his medical
license reinstated. Dr. Davis’, who was representing himself, considered the
offer and accepted it in good faith. Sadly this faith was misplaced. In the
event this case was heard by the Court a scandal of extreme proportions would
have rocked the state and potentially the State of Maryland would have had to
pay out millions in retribution to those who were falsely accused. Worse the
people of the State of Maryland would have found out how corrupt their Attorney
General was. The profound level of deception, misrepresentation and misuse of government
office was beyond belief. After Dr. Davis dropped the case he was invited to appear
before the Maryland Medical Board to have his medical license reinstated.
In 1995 Dr. Mark Davis
represented himself before 15 members of the Maryland Board of Physicians (now
the Board has 21 members). Board members asked several questions yet avoided
others which were more important. Dr. Davis told them there were no medical malpractice
cases filed against him, the other physician staff members, the auxiliary staff
or the nursing home where the so-called horrific patient care “never” took
place. Dozens of medical records had been requested by attorneys. The nursing
home had an umbrella malpractice insurance policy with maximum coverage. Each
physician had maximum coverage for that time period (1989-1990). If you are
suspicious that a false action occurred against Dr. Davis, you are correct. Quizzically
none of the 15 members of the Board or Board’s assigned lawyers discussed any
aspect of the Court of Special Appeals’ case. The 1995 Board knew they had been
misled and had made a huge mistake against Dr. Davis. The good doctor was told
to leave the room. Approximately 1 hour later he was called and told his
license was reinstated unanimously by Board membership. In the event you
believe this was a wrong made right, it wasn’t. Instead the Board through its
attack dog, the Maryland Attorney General’s Office, had ulterior motives.
On or about June of 2001 Dr.
Davis received a subpoena for medical records. This was immediately after Dr.
Davis’ 5 year supervised probation by the Board was completed. Ten charts requested were immediately sent to
the quality assurance section of the Board. This was the beginning of a decade
long assault on Dr. Davis’ medical license. After a series of legal encounters
and the Medical Board’s disregard for its own written rules Dr. Davis received
a document that accused him of violating the Medical Practices Act. Dr. Davis
was being charged nearly 6 years after the initial request for medical records,
though resolution usually occurs within one year by regulation. The charging
document was a series of false allegations, innuendos and misrepresentations
written by Robert Gilbert from the Maryland Attorney General’s Office. Five charts were cited by two physician
medical record reviewers in the document. Surprisingly one of the reviewers
chosen by Mr. Gilbert, who was chief of a medical department at a local
hospital, stated Dr. Davis did not transgress any standards of care. The second
physician, Ira Kaplan, was engaged to review medical records from a company
that Dr. Davis had sued nearly a decade before. Was this a coincidence,
absolutely not.
To abbreviate this portion
of the story Dr. Kaplan was not an expert in “diet medications” on which the
charges was based though the judge reviewing the case accepted him as one. Dr.
Kaplan’s only claim for being a medical records reviewer, in this case, was his
background in Internal Medicine. Dr. Kaplan’s lack of knowledge of diet
medications was obvious when he was cross examined. He might as well have been
a carpenter. The Administrative Court found for Dr. Davis in the “majority”,
though he was not allowed to present evidence, documents and bring in expert or
patient witnesses (see forthcoming e-book Anatomy of a Medical License
Revocation). The Board turned the
administrative judge’s opinion around 180 degrees and gave Dr. Davis a 3 year
revocation though Board members never heard the case directly themselves. After
requesting reinstatement from the Board in a hearing during December 2016 they turned
down his application. Additionally the Order from Board noted they would not
entertain any further reinstatement applications. This case scenario sounds
unbelievable yet it happened here in Maryland. This infamous case will be laid
out in detail in the aforementioned e-book presently being written. One
additional point is a Public Information Request was placed with the Board for
all documents, recordings and paperwork related to the December 2016 hearing. The
Board outright refused this request, hid behind regulations as the reason to
refuse the request and then told Dr. Davis to seek judicial recourse knowing
the courts generally side with Maryland Administrative entities. If they are
innocent of collusion and corruption why hide information related to this
request? It is ironic that the Board hides behind their regulatory authority to
protect themselves yet they did not follow the same regulations in Dr. Davis’
case.
The Maryland Board of
Physicians, it chief executive Christine Farrelly along with a member of the
Maryland Attorney General’s Office Robert Gilbert should be investigated for
the following; filing a false charging document, obstructing due process,
violating the rights of a physician, violating written physician Board regulations, lying to judicial officers and
revoking a physician’s license based on zilch. Please review the attached
document at the link noted below. Please allow a few seconds for this site to
open. These are the documents that Maryland’s Attorney General J. Joseph Curran
did not want the media to see.
