FDA’s “dentures” are too weak to be effective
The FDA lacks any real “teeth” to do their job.
Let’s compare two cases of leaving an infant in the backseat of a hot car in a car seat unattended.
Roseburg, OR: Nicole Engler, nurse practitioner, left her child in the car seat while she went to work at Evergreen Family Medicine clinic.
Bend, OR: Evander McIver, Deputy District Attorney for Deschutes County, left his child in the car while he went work at the county offices.
Ms. Engler’s child died, an unfortunate tragedy.
Mr. McIver’s child survived uninjured.
Ms. Engler had the charge of manslaughter dropped by the Douglas County District Attorney Rick Wesenberg, who “said his decision was not based on public opinion, but on the evidence, the limits of Oregon law and the likelihood of a conviction if it had gone to court.” News Review 10-15-18.
Yet Mr. McIver was cited for misdemeanor child neglect, placed on administrative leave, and the incident is being reviewed by the Oregon Department of Justice.
Funny how Ms. Engler was found to be using marijuana, however, it was never stated that she was under the “effect” of it while at work, but it was detected in her blood. Medical Marijuana patients are often told by police that they can’t be driving if they have used within 24 hours. Is driving that much harder than practicing medicine?
And what of Evergreen Family Medicine clinic’s policy about marijuana. They won’t prescribe pain medications for any patients using any type of marijuana, but they let their staff use marijuana before seeing patients?

Pulled out some records to check some things and refreshed myself with something I had been meaning to post earlier but got distracted.
I find it amazing that so many clinics, especially pain clinics are ignoring the requirements of having pain agreements and Material Risk Notices with their patients.
Here is a letter that I sent to the Office Manager of Oregon Cardiology, located at Peace Health Sacred Heart Medical Center, by fax on 12-10-19.
CHI Mercy is so great about spinning the details on anything that they can turn into a big billboard along the highway. Let’s see how they spin this one off too.
