(NaturalNews) If you’re an eighth grader and you show up to school with a fake doctor’s note excusing your suspicious absence the day before, you would probably face detention or some other punishment, including a possible investigation for truancy. But if you’re a teacher and you call in “sick” with a fake doctor’s note handed to you at a protest in Madison, Wisconsin, then that’s apparently okay… because that’s what countless public school teachers have been doing the past week.

Masterminding the effort are rogue medical doctors committing medical fraud by carrying out obviously contrived conversations with protestors then writing them doctors’ notes to excuse them from work for such things as “fatigue” or “emotional stress.”

What we have, then, is a tag team of fraud: The teachers who have abandoned their public duties and abandoned their students by calling in “sick,” and the medical doctors who are promoting the whole charade by pretending to diagnose these teachers with some sort of ailment that gets them off the hook.

This sends a really powerful message back home to all the students in the Madison public school system: “Do as we say, not as we do.”

Revoke the medical licenses of these fraudulent doctors

It’s really just a bunch of adults acting like children, of course. Madison public system schoolteachers are already among the best paid in the country, taking home an average of $56,000 a year in salary, plus other benefits that bring the total to over $100,000 in compensation (http://maciverinstitute.com/2010/03/average-mps-teacher-compensation-tops-100kyear/).

That’s a pretty lucrative deal for schoolteachers. You’d think that for a six-figure compensation, they might have some loyalty to actually showing up at work and teaching the schoolchildren. There’s a lesson in social studies for ya.

For the doctors, there should obviously be an investigation and an effort to strip their medical licenses for practicing what can only be called “quack medicine.” Can you imagine the outcry if a bunch of herbalists or alternative medicine practitioners showed up and started writing excuse notes for these protestors? That would be rightly called “quackery.” But somehow it seems to be okay when medical doctors engage in that same quackery.

Of course, he fails to mention he is engaging in these conversations in a public place, in the context of what is essentially a political protest, absent any context of a hospital, clinic or emergency room.

It is doctors like these, with their flimsy and fraudulent diagnoses, who are probably the same ones engaged in widespread Medicare and Medicaid fraud. For all we know, these medical consultations taking place at Madison might actually be billed to Wisconsin state Medicaid for reimbursement!
